Area to be devoted to stationery = 
of total area = 
Length of stationery section = 12 ft
To find:
Width of stationery section = ?

First of all, let us have a look at the area of rectangle:
Here, we are given the length for stationery section and area of stationery section has been calculated above.
And we have to find the Width of stationery section.
So, let us put the two values to find the third value.
So, the answer is:
Stationery section will be 4 feet wide.
Answer:
3500 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.
Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.
Therefore:
g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5
That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:
1400 = 2c/5
To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:
1400 = 2c/5
1400 * 5 = 2c
7000 = 2c
c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons
The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.
Answer:
14×6=84 and 6×14=84, 84+6=90
Let's let x = the number of workers making $75 per day
Then that would mean (60 - x) would be the number of workers who make $100 per day.
Now the average salary, which needs to be 80, can be found by adding all the salaries of the 60 workers and dividing by 60. The following equation can model this problem:
[75x + 100(60 - x)]/60 = 80 simplify the left side of the equation
(-25x + 6000)/60 = 80 multiply both sides by 60
-25x + 6000 = 4800 subtract 6000 from both sides
-25x = -1200 divide both sides by -25
x = 48 recall we set 'x' to equal the number of workers making $75 per day
And there you have it! Hope this helps..
