Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square.  The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.

The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.

This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods.  Let's rewrite this equation in standard form:  s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:

s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0.  This factors as follows:  (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6.  Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative.  Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.

HELP PLEASE!!
ANTONII [103]
<span>Volume of the Sphere V = 4/3pi x r^3 So when diameter d = 3 inches => r = 1.5 inches volume of the sphere = 4.188 x r^3 = 4.188 x 1.5^3 = 14.14 in So when diameter d = 8 inches => r = 4 inches volume of the sphere = 4.188 x r^3 = 4.188 x 4^3 = 268.03 in So when diameter d = 9 inches => r = 4.5 inches volume of the sphere = 4.188 x r^3 = 4.188 x 4.5^3 = 381.63 in value for option (a) is 3 x 14.14 = 42.42 inches value for option (b) is 268.03 inches value for option (c) is 381.63 / 2 = 190.815 inches So the correct option would be (b)</span>

Answer:

≈ 542,029 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

37,400 copies represents a 6.9% of the total copies sold to date.

Therefore; Copies sold to date will be 100%

Thus;

Total number of copies sold = (37,400/6.9)× 100

                                               = 542,028.99 copies

                                               <u>≈ 542029 copies</u>
