I'm not sure about the answer, but this is how I would do it, since 15% and $150 are the same based on the question. do let me know if it's right! :)
So convert to improper fracitons (improper=x/y where x>y and the current one is mixed where it is in t s/f form) so
40 and 4/5=(40 times 5)/5 and 4/5=200/5 and 4/5=204/5
50 and 7/8=(50 times 8)/8 and 7/8=400/8 and 7/8=407/8
area=legnth times width
legnth =407/8
width=204/5
multiply 407/8 and 204/5
407/8 times 204/5=(407 times 204)/(8 times 5)=83028/40=2075.7 square feet
the answer is 2075.7 ft^2 of seed
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Interest formula -
I = P × R × T
I = 3,280 × 0.3% × 9
What I basically did there wws multiply the amount of money, the simple interest, and the time.
Turn 0.3% into a decimal by dividing by a 100 which should give you 0.003
I = 3,280 × 0.003 × 9
Put that into a calculator, you get $88.56
Now, that's just the interest amount. Now you add it back to 3,280 to get the *total* amount.
3,280 + 88.56 = 3,368.56
Cathy ends us paying $3,368.56
Hope what I said made sense.
Divide 5 1/2, or 11/2 by 3/4. You can do that by multiplying 11/2 and 4/3 to get 44/6. Simplify and you get 22/3, which is about 7.33 or 7 1/3. If he can only paint whole dog houses, the answer is 7.
