Let the house be sold for = x

Amount paid to real estate agent = $11825

This value is 5.5% of the value of the house sold for.

\frac{5.5}{100}*x=11825

5.5x=1182500

x=215000

Hence, the house was sold for $215000

A gardener is planting two types of trees:
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let y represent number of years...

9 ft tall = (12 * 9) = 108 inches

10 ft tall = (12 * 10) = 120 inches

Type A : 9 ft (or 108 inches) and grows 6 inches per year..

108 + 6y

Type B : 10 ft (or 120 inches) and grows 3 inches per yr

120 + 3y

how many years will it take them to be the same height...so when will they be equal....so set them equal and solve for y

108 + 6y = 120 + 3y

6y - 3y = 120 - 108

3y = 112

y = 112/3

y = 37 1/3 years....or 37 years and 4 months <====

check...

108 + 6(37 1/3) = 120 + 3(37 1/3)

108 + 6(112/3) = 120 + 3(112/3)

108 + 672/3 = 120 + 336/3

672/3 - 336/3 = 120 - 108

336/3 = 112

112 = 112 (correct)

the equation R= -0.028(T) + 20.8 can be used to predict the world record in the 200-m dash, where R is the record in seconds and

\bf R=-0.028(t)+20.8~~ \begin{cases} R=seconds\\ t=\stackrel{1920+}{years}\\ ------\\ R=18.0 \end{cases}\implies 18=-0.028t+20.8 \\\\\\ 0.028t=20.8-18\implies 0.028t=2.8\implies t=\cfrac{2.8}{0.028}\implies t=100 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since \underline{t} is years since 1920}}{1920+100\implies 2020}

10. Mr. Schmidt's classes combined have 42 boys and 56 girls. He wants to divide them up into
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

A: 7

B: 8

C: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to try to find the the same greatest factor of both of the numbers.

Since both of the numbers are divisible by 7 the number of groups equals 7.

So you divide the number of girls, which is 56, by 7, the number of girls in each group is 8.

Then you divide the number of boys, which is 42, by 7, the number of boys in each group is 6.
