To the total amount of money that a dealer spent is $7 + $9 or %16. His revenue from selling the same articles is $8 + $10 which is equal to $18. The profit is the difference between the total revenue and total cost.
profit = $18 - $16 = $2
Thus, the dealer has a profit of $2.
Remark
You don't have to decompose the second one, and it is better if you don't. Just find the area as you probably did: use the formula for a trapezoid. You have to assume that the 6cm line hits the 2 bases at right angles for each of them, otherwise, you don't know the height. So I'm going to assume that we are in agreement about the second one.
Problem One
The answer for this one has to be broken down and unfortunately, you answer is not right for the total area, although you might get 52 for the triangle. Let's check that out.
<em><u>Triangle</u></em>
Area = 1/2 * b * h
base = 16 cm
h = 10 - 4 = 6
Area = 1/2 * 16 * 6
Area = 48
<em><u>Area of the Rectangle</u></em>
Area = L * W
L = 16
W = 4
Area = L * W
Area = 16 * 4
Area = 64
<em><u>Total Area</u></em>
Area = 64 + 48
Area = 112 of both figures <<<< Answer
2160 divided by 5.5 = 392.7 hopefully this is right!
79 divided by 10= 7
7x10= 70
79-70=9
Put a 0 beside the nine
Put the decimal beside the 7
10x9=90
90-90=0
Ur answer is 7.9
Slope = (1 + 4) / (-5 -3) = 5/-8 = -5/8
answer
-5/8
