If the length of a rectangle is 3m longer than its width, then:
L=W+3
Is the area really 154^2? Or is it 154m^2? If yes, then:
A=LW
154=(W+3)(W)
154=(W^2+3W)
0=W^2+3W-154
0=(W-11)(W+14)
This means either (W-11) or (W+14) is equal to zero so:
W=11 and W=-14
To find out let's substitute the numbers:
154=(11+3)(11)
154=154
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 11m

By definition the area of a rectangle is given by:
 A = (w) * (l)
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 We rewrite the expression based on:
 "The length of a rectangle is 3m longer than its width"
 A = (w) * (w + 3)
 We substitute the value of the area:
 154 ^ 2 = (w) * (w + 3)
 Rewrite:
 23716 = w ^ 2 + 3w
 w ^ 2 + 3w-23716 = 0
 We solve the polynomial:
 w = 152.5
 Note: the other root is negative.
 Answer: 
 the width of the rectangle is: 
 w = 152.5 m

This question is not even trying to test your arithmetic.  It's just testing
to see whether you know how to read numbers in words properly.

When you read numbers in words, the only time you ever say "and"
is for a decimal point.  There are no decimals in this question, so the
"and" is not a part of any numbers.

The question gives you two numbers. The word "and" is the marker
that's BETWEEN them.  The two numbers are 1,300 and 950 .

The first thing the question wants you to do is write the numerical
expression for all the words.  That's    (1300 - 950) / 4 .

The next thing you're supposed to do is"evaluate the expression" ...
find out what number it all boils down to.  I don't think you'll have
any trouble with that now.

Calculate the Social Security and Medicare tax that would be applied to an annual salary of $235,430. Use $106,800 for maximum t
Artemon [7]
<span>Social Security tax is a percentage that both employees and employers must contribute 6.2% of employee compensation, for a total of 12.4%. The social security that would be applied to an annual salary of $235,430 using $106,800 as the maximum taxable income is 12.4% of $106,800 = 0.124 x $106,800 = $13,243.20 The Medicare payroll tax is 2.9%. It applies only to earned income, which is wages you are paid by an employer, plus tips. You're responsible for 1.45% of the tax, and it's deducted automatically from your paycheck. Your employer pays the other 1.45% The Medicare tax that would be applied to an annual salary of $235,430 using $106,800 as the maximum taxable income is 2.9% of $106,800 = 0.029 x $106,800 = $3,097.20 </span>

A pan has an original price of $32 but is marked down by 15 percent. Which equation shows the new price of the price
sergejj [24]
We suggest, that the number 32 is 100% - because it is the output value of the task. 
<span>We suggest, that x is the value that we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 32 is 100%, so we can jot it down as 32=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know for sure, that x is 15% of the output value, so we can jot it down as x=15%. </span>
5. Now, these are the equations are we have.
1) 32=100%
2) x=15%
where the left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
32/x=100%/15%
6. Now we just have to work out the equation, and we'll get the answer that we want.

7. Answer for what is 15% of 32

32/x=100/15
<span>(32/x)*x=(100/15)*x       - </span>multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>32=6.66666666667*x       - </span>divide both sides of the equation by (6.66666666667) to get x
<span>32/6.66666666667=x </span>
<span>4.8=x </span>
x=4.8

<span>15% of 32=4.8
So, the answer is $4.8
Hope this helped</span>
