------------------------------------------------------
Define x :
------------------------------------------------------
Let the width be x.

------------------------------------------------------
Find Area of the walkway :
------------------------------------------------------
Area = 30x + 30x + 20x + 20x + 4x²       
Area = 100x + 4x²

------------------------------------------------------
Find cost of the walkway in term of x:
------------------------------------------------------
1m² = $10
100x + 4x² = 10(4x² + 100x)
(100x + 4x²)m = $(40x² + 1000x)

------------------------------------------------------
Find Width of the walkway :
------------------------------------------------------
The budget is $6000

40x² + 1000x = 6000
40x² + 1000x - 6000 = 0
x² + 25x -150 = 0              //Divide by 40 through
(x - 5)(x + 30) = 0             //Factorise
x = 5 or x = -30 (Rejected, width cannot be negative)

------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The width can be 5m wide.

The population of a town increased from 3450 in 2006 to 4650 in 2011. Find the absolute and relative (percent) increase.
netineya [11]

Answer:

15% increase per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

5,600 - 3,500 = 2,100

2,100 is what percent of 3,500?

2,100 = X*3,500

X =  2,100 / 3,500

X = .60 or 60%

An average of 15% increase per year.

Answer:

2 hours

Remember that time = distance/rate

The distance you need to cover is 56 miles, while you go 28 miles per hour. Using these, we get this:

time=56/28

time=2

So it will take two hours to go across a 56 mile wide bay at 28 mph.
