The difference would be 0.27
Answer:
a= 200
b = 210
Step-by-step explanation:
My assumption is, we have to find the length of sides of rectangle
Given
perimeter = 2a + 2b = 820 ft (i) (here a is smaller side and b is larger side)
area = a*b = 42,000 ft^2 (ii)
from eq (1)
2a + 2b = 820
=> 2(a+b) = 820
=> a+b = 820/2
=> a + b = 410
=> a = 410-b (iii)
putting the value of a in eq(ii), we get
(410-b) *b = 42,000
410b - b^2 = 42,000
0 = b^2 - 410b + 42000
b^2 - 410b + 42000 = 0
b^2- 200b- 210b + 42000 = 0
b(b-200)-210(b-200) = 0
(b-200)(b-210) = 0
or
b= 210 and b = 200
if b is larger side than b =210
By putting value of b in eq(iii),
a = 410 -210 = 200
The order you apply the adjustments does make a difference because the percents that are applied will be applied to different amount.
For example, 80% of 100 = $80. The price would be $180.
Decreasing this by 25% 25% of 180 = $45; 180-45 = $135.
25% of 100 is not the same as 25% of 180.
Not impressed that you consider yourself "too lazy" to at least get started on the solution of this problem. Why not "give it the old college try?"
Start by choosing letters to represent the unit cost of each popcorn and drink:
p: popcorn, d: drink.
Then 2p + 3d = $22.25 and 12p+4d=$39.00
Note that the unit of measurement of all 6 terms here is " $ ".
Solve this system of linear equations simultaneously:
2p + 3d = $22.25
12p+4d=$39.00
In your shoes I would mult. the first equation by -6 and then combine the result with the second equation. p will temporarily disappear, and you'll be left with an equation in d only, enabling you to find the unit cost of a drink.
Come on. Show your stuff. You'll need to respond through Comments.
Answer:
12 weeks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amanda starts with $2000 and is getting $150 per week which means that we can make the expression:
The expression is equal to 200 because is the limit where we can arrive to avoid the fee, then the n is the number of weeks that we are looking for:
n=12 weeks
