the perimeter of a rectangular pool 160 meters. The length of the pool is 20 meters more than it's width. What is the length?

1 answer:

6 0

Width=w
Length=l
Perimeter=p

p=2w+2l
l=20+w
p=2w+20+w+20+w
p=4w+40

4w+40=160
4w=160-40=120
w=120:4=30
w=30
l=20+w
l=20+30=50

Andrea bought 1 2/5 pounds of avocados at $4.20 per pound and 2 1/

guapka [62]

Answer:

$14.43¢

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given; $1\frac{2}{5}$ pounds, 1 pound = $4.20 and $2\frac{1}{4}$ pounds,1 pound = $3.80 that Andrea bought.

Now we need to find her total cost. To do that, we must first find the cost of the avocados. To do so, let us set up a graph. But before that is done, convert $1\frac{2}{5}$ to a decimal. It is 1.4. Now we can set up a graph.

Avocados

$\frac{4.2}{1}=\frac{x}{1.4}$

Switch sides

$\frac{x}{1.4}=\frac{4.2}{1}$

Apply rule: $\frac{a}{1}=a$

$\frac{x}{1.4}=4.2$

Multiply both sides by 1.4

$\frac{1.4x}{1.4}=4.2\cdot \:1.4$

Simplify

$x=5.88$

So, her cost for avocados is $5.88¢

Now we must first find the cost of the avocados. To do so, let us set up a graph. But before that is done, convert $2\frac{1}{4}$ to a decimal. It is 2.25. Now we can set up a graph.

Asparagus

$\frac{3.8}{1}=\frac{x}{2.25}$

Switch sides

$\frac{x}{2.25}=\frac{3.8}{1}$

Apply rule : $\frac{a}{1}=a$

$\frac{x}{2.25}=3.8$

Multiply both sides by 2.25

$\frac{2.25x}{2.25}=3.8\cdot \:2.25$

Simplify

$x=8.55$

So, her cost for asparagus is $8.55¢

Total cost

Now that we have found out how much both of the fruits Andrea bought costs, we need to sum it up (meaning add it) to find the total cost:

$5.88¢ + 8.55¢ =

5.88 + 8.55 = 14.43

Therefore, Andrea's total cost of the fruits is $14.43¢

Carlotta handpaints T-shirts and sells them to her friends. She uses the equations below to determine her costs and the amount o

spayn [35]

Profit = Income - cost
Profit = 10s - (28 + 3s) = 10s - 28 -3s = 7s - 28.

Profit = 0

0 = 7s - 28

7s = 28
7s = 28/7
s = 4. This is the breakeven point.

Carlota must sell more than 4 shirts to make a profit

This is for a retake for geometry pls help

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

B. 40, 51.5, 88.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x - 4) + (2x + 3) + (3x- 4) = 180

10x - 5 = 180

10x = 185

x= 18.5

Substitute

5(18.5) - 4 = 88.5

2(18.5) + 3 = 40

3(18.5) - 4 = 51.5
