300=xy and 363=(xr)(yr)=xyr^2  so

363/300=xyr^2/(xy)

1.21=r^2

r=1.1

So the dimensions were increased by 10%

A new shopping mall is gaining in popularity every day since it open the number of shoppers is 20% more than the numbers of shop
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: the number of shoppers on the first day is 125

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of shoppers is 20% more than the numbers of shoppers the day before. It means that the number of shoppers is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Where

n represents the number of term in the sequence.

a represents the first term in the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

r = 1 + 20/100 = 1.2

n = 4(first 4 days)

S4 = 671

Therefore, the expression for the first 4 days is

671 = (a × 1.2^(4) - 1)/1.2 - 1

671 = (a × 1.2^(4) - 1)/0.2

671 = 1.0736a/0.2

671 = 5.368a

a = 671/5.368

a = 125

A contractor is hired to build an apartment complex. Each 840-square-foot unit has a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. The bedroom
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

350 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

840 sq ft area has a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.

Let the area of bedroom be x sq ft.

Then the area of kitchen will also be x sq ft.

Let the area of bathroom be y sq ft.

As per question statement:

x+y+x=840\\\Rightarrow 2x+y=840 ...... (1)

Tiles ordered to cover two kitchens and two bathrooms is 980 sq ft.

i.e.

2x+2y=980 ..... (2)

Subtracting equation (1) from (2):

i.e. (2) - (1):

y = 140 sq ft

Putting the value of y in (1):

2x+140=840\\\Rightarrow 2x =700\\\Rightarrow \bold{x=350\ sq\ ft}

Therefore, the carpet needed for each bedroom = <em>350 sq ft</em>

Laura and Brent paddled a canoe 6 miles upstream in four hours. The return trip took 3 hours. What is the rate at which they pad
Harrizon [31]
P = paddling speed

C = speed of the current

Upstream: 6 = 4 (P - C. Downstream: 6 = 3 (P + C)

4P - 4C = 6

3P + 3C = 6

12P - 12C = 18

12P + 12C = 24

Add the equations:

24P = 42. P = 42/24 = 1.75 mph

Subtract the equations:

-24C = -6

C = 0.25 mph
