I'm assuming the 59% achievement means, markup, so hmmmm well, if the bananas cost him $0.24 or 24cents per pound, so a markup of 59% is just 59% of 0.24 then.
whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
therefore, 59% of 0.24 is just (59/100) * 0.24, or 0.1416.
so, if we add 0.1416 to the 0.24, the selling price will be 0.3816, or just 38cents per pound of bananas.
Well the area of a trapezoid is defined by the following formula:
A =

where b₁ and b₂ are the bases of the trapezoid and h is the height of the trapezoid.
Let's plug in what we know into this formula:
h = 7 the perpendicular distance between the two bases
b₁ = 15 the shorter parallel side
b₂ = 25 the longer parallel side made up of 4 + 15 + 6
so, A =

This is in square units of measure of course, so 140 in²
Answer:
(3/5)x+1/4=(3/4)x-2/5
<=> (3/5)x - (3/4)x= -2/5 - 1/4
<=> x(12/20 - 15/20) = -13/20
<=> x(-3/20) = -13/20
<=> x = 13/3
