To find the length and width of 3 different rectangles that have an area of 48 square inches, you can use the factor pairs that result in 48.
The reason is that to find the area of a rectangle you multiply two dimensions.
2 in x 12 in
3 in x 8 in
4 in x 6 in
On all these either one could be the length and the other the width.

Step-by-step explanation: ts 6 11 19 56
Laura, David, and Carlos served a total of 115 orders
David served 3 times as many orders as Carlos. David = 3x
Laura served 10 more orders than Carlos. let Carlos = x
How many orders did they each serve? Laura = x + 10
Carlos + David + Laura = 115
x + 3x + x+10 = 115
5x + 10 = 115
5x = 115 - 10
5x = 105
x = 21 Carlos
63 Davide
31 Laura
add then up 115 Total

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price = x
Sale = 20% off
20% / 100 = 0.2 to convert from a percent to a decimal
Sale = x - 20% of x = x - 0.2x = 0.8x
Sale price = y = 0.8x
Reduction of sale prices = 25% = 0.25
Reduction = y - 25% of y = y - 0.25y = 0.75y
End price in terms of original price (x):
0.75y = 0.75(0.8)x
= 0.6x
End price = 0.6 or 60% of original price, coming out to a 100-60 = 40% overall percentage reduction
