6
Step-by-step explanation:
because 6*4=24, so the G.C.D is 4 and the other number is 6
First, let’s all acknowledge that whoever comes up with problems like this WANTS kids to hate math...smh
I’m sure there is a prettier way to solve this, but here’s what I did:
8(2.25) + 3(22.50) =
18 + 67.50 = 85.50 per “set” of balls/jerseys
400/85.50 = 4.678 = number of “sets” he can buy. Round down to 4 so we have room for tax.
85.5 x 4 “sets”= $342
Tax on 342 is 0.06 x 342 = 20.52
$342 + 20.52 = $362.52 spent
Basketballs = 4 sets x 8 balls per set= 32
Jerseys = 4 sets x 3 jerseys per set= 12
32 basketballs, 12 jerseys, $362.52 spent
A = L * W
A = 320
L = W + 4
320 = W(W + 4)
320 = W^2 + 4W
W^2 + 4W = 320
W^2 + 4W + 4 = 320 + 4
(W + 2)^2 = 324
W + 2 = (+-) sqrt 324
W = -2 (+-) 18
W = -2 + 18 = 16 ft <== this is the width
W = -2 - 18 = -20....not this one because it is negative
L = W + 4
L = 16 + 4
L = 20 ft <=== this is the length
in summary...the width is 16 ft and the length is 20 ft
92.6, you round 5 up because of the 8.
