Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The basic cost of the Snout is 45.99
15% of that amount = 45.99*15/100 = <u> 6.90</u>
Total Cost 52.89
You could figure out the total cost a slightly different way.
You could set up
Cost = snout (1 + 15%)
Cost = snout(1 + 15/100)
Cost = snout( 1 + 0.15)
Cost = 45.99(1.15)
Cost = 52.89
In order for the triangle to be isosceles, we have to set two lengths of the triangle equal to each other.
Let's take the lengths 5x-12 and x+20 and set them equal to each other.
5x - 12 = x + 20
Combine like terms by moving them over to their respective sides.
Subtract x from both sides of the equation.
4x - 12 = 20
Add 12 to both sides of the equation.
4x = 32
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 8
Check your answer by substituting.
5x - 12 = x + 20
5(8) - 12 = 8 + 20
40 - 12 = 28
28 = 28
Solution: x = 8
Answer: 3.3
Step-by-step explanation: maximum was 250 yards and each pool is 75 yards, how many pools did he use? divide the 250 by 75 which you should've gotten 3.33333333333. round to the nearest tenth.
