Let x = one leg. the base is then 3x-17. the perimeter I'd given by x+x+3x-17=33

5x-17=33
5x=50
x=10
2 legs are 10 each and base is 13

What is the answer meyn?

Answer:

the best value is two 50 ml bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay focus with me , if you buy a bottle of 50 ml you will get a second for half price so we can say that --> 2 bottles of 50 ml =

$45 + \frac{45}{2} = 67.5$

We get 100 ml with £67.5 just , but when you buy 80ml you must pay £55 Hum !

then you can dived the volume of bottle with price ...

the price of one ml is 0.675 in first State

$\frac{67.5}{100 } = 0.675$

in the second state the price of one ml is

$\frac{55}{80} = 0.6875$

then :

$0.675 < 0.6875$

so the best value is two 50 ml bottles

The average summer vacation costs $2252. If 82% of this amount is charged on credit cards, then what amount of the vacation cost

expeople1 [14]

Answer: $1846.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The average summer vacation costs $2252.

If 82% of this amount is charged on credit cards, then the amount of the vacation cost is charged will be :-

$82\%\text{ of }\$2252\\\\\text{Convert percent into fraction by dividing it by 100, we get}\\\\=\$[\dfrac{82}{100}\times2252]\\\\=\$[\dfrac{184664}{100}]\\\\=\$1846.64$

Therefore the amount of the vacation cost is charged= $1846.64

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let's use a trial and improvement method to find this solution.

Step 1. Let's choose x = 8.5

Substituting into the equation:

$(8.5)^2+ 3(8.5) - 94=0? \\ \\ 72.25+25.5-94=0? \\ \\ 3.75\neq 0$

Step 2. Let's choose x = 8.4

Substituting into the equation:

$(8.4)^2+ 3(8.4) - 94=0? \\ \\ 70.56+25.2-94=0? \\ \\ 1.76\neq 0$

Step 3. Let's choose x = 8.3

Substituting into the equation:

$(8.3)^2+ 3(8.3) - 94=0? \\ \\ 68.89+24.9-94=0? \\ \\ -0.21\neq 0$

Since the sign of the equation changes from positive to negative when evaluating from 8.4 to 8.3, then x = 8.3 seems to be a reasonable value. Finally, the solution to 1 decimal place is:

$x=8.3$
