A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece

a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2

a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft

b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft

longest piece (c) = 27 ft

both (0,350) and (250,700) fall in the shaded are

 and check:

350 *3 = 1050, which is more than 1000 and more than double the amount of hotdogs ( 0)


700 *3 = 2100, so over 1000 and more than double the amount of hotdogs(250*2=500)

Steve paid 10% tax on a purchase of $40. Select the dollar amount of the tax and the total dollar amount Steve paid.
marta [7]
Amount of purchase that Steve made = $40
Percentage of tax that Steve needs to pay = 10%
Then
Amount of tax that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (10/100) * 40
                                                                                          = 1 * 4 dollars
                                                                                          = 4 dollars
Then
The total amount including tax
that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (40 + 4) dollars
                                                                   = 44 dollars
So the dollar amount of tax that Steve had to pay is $4 and the total amount that Steve had to pay was $44.
