Since the population is going to increase by a certain percentage, we have to add to the percentage to keep the original population.
Now, convert the percentage into a decimal. You can do this by moving the decimal place two places to the left.
Now, just multiply that by .
Answer:
C(x) =
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Area of the field = 3600 square feet
Fencing charges = $3.50 per foot
Let the side along the river be 'x' feet and the other side of the 'B'
now,
Area of rectangle = Bx = 3600 square feet
or
B = feet
and total length to be fenced = x + 2B
therefore,
Total cost of fencing = Fencing charges × total length to be fenced
or
Total cost of fencing = $3.50 × ( x + 2B )
substituting the value of B from (1)
Total cost of fencing, C(x) =
or
C(x) =
