okay so first you wanna turn that 120% into a decimal and the decimal form of that would be 1.2 or 1.20

Secondly you want to multiply 875 by the 1.2

875*1.2 = 1050

So if they sell 120% of last years sales they will sell 1050 cars this year.

Hope this helped :)

The dimensions of a rectangular building are given as a length of 12x + 24 feet and a width of 20x - 10 feet. Write the expressi

Ray Of Light [21]

<h3>The expression that represents the area of the building, in terms of x is:</h3>

$Area = 240x^2 +360x - 240$

Solution:

Given that,

Dimensions of rectangular building:

Length = 12x + 24 feet

Width = 20x - 10 feet

The area of rectangle is given as:

$Area\ of\ rectangle = length \times width$

Substituting the values we get,

$Area\ of\ rectangle = (12x+24) \times (20x-10)$

Multiply both

$Area = 12x\times \:20x+12x\left(-10\right)+24\times \:20x+24\left(-10\right)\\\\Area = 240x^2 -120x + 480x -240\\\\Area = 240x^2 +360x - 240$

Thus the expression that represents the area of the building, in terms of x is found

The total amount of money (in cents) in x nickels, (x+5) dimes and 2x quarters

Scorpion4ik [409]

$\\
\text{Suppose you have x nickels, (x+5) dimes and 2x quarters}\\
\\
\text{we know that the value of 1 quarter is}=\$ 0.25=\text{ 25 cents}\\
\\
\text{value of 1 dime}=\$0.10=10 \text{ cents}\\
\\
\text{value of 1 Nickel}=\$ 0.05=5 \text{ cents}\\
\\
\text{so the total amount of money in cents is}\\
\\
=5(x)+10(x+5)+25(2x)\\
\\
=5x+10x+50+50x\\
\\
=65x+50$
