You have sold 72, and your friend has sold 74. Meaning your friend has sold 2 more magazine subscriptions than you.
Given:
October: 8 3/8 inches
September : 60% less rain fell than in October.
This means that only 40% rain fell in September based on the amount of rain that fell in October.
8 3/8 ⇒ (8*8)+3/8 = 67/8
40% is 4/10
67/8 * 4/10 = 268/80 = 3 28/80 or 3 7/20 or 3.35
28 ÷ 2 = 14
80 ÷ 2 = 40
14 ÷ 2 = 7
40 ÷ 2 = 20
In September 3 7/20 inches or 3.35 inches of rain fell.
Well when you add up all three angles of a triangle you should get 180 degrees.
(5x+1)(5x+1)=25x+5x+5x+1=35x+1
The area of the square rug is (35x+1).
I may be wrong, I never was good at these types of problems.
