A cereal company is creating new boxes for its product. In order to display the boxes, the stores they sell to require that the

boxes be 11.5 inches high and no longer than 8.4 inches. The printing department requires exactly 272.8 square inches of space in order to use the planned design that covers the box. If the company wishes to maximize the length of the box, then what should be the width of the box?

If the problem says "space", that usually means that they are talking about volume. The maximum length the box can be is 8.4 inches. To find volume, you do length * width * height. You know the length and height, as well as the volume. You can replace the width with "x". Your equation should be:

11.5 * 8.4 * x = 272.8

Then you can just solve for x by dividing both sides by (11.5 * 8.4). The answer should be about 2.82 inches.

A jackets original price is $65.00 .It is on sale for 40% off. you have to pay 5% sales tax What is the final price fir the jack
lesya [120]
Hello!

There is a discount of 40%, which means that we will be subtracting 40% of the price, and then sales tax is basically additional money added to the price, so we will be adding that. 

65.00 * 40% = 26

65.00 - 26 = 39

So, the discounted price is $39. Now we must add tax on that. 

39 * 5% = 1.95

39 + 1.95 = 40.95

The final price of the jacket is $40.95.
