Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call L the length and W the width. The length is 10 feet longer than the width, so:

L = W + 10

The area is the length times width, so:

119 = LW

Substituting:

119 = (W + 10) W

119 = W² + 10W

0 = W² + 10W − 119

0 = (W + 17) (W − 7)

W = -17 or 7

Since W must be positive, W = 7.

L = W + 10

L = 17

The length and width are 17 feet and 7 feet, respectively.

Bad Investment After Mrs. Fisher lost 9% of her investment, she had $22,750. What was Mrs. Fisher's original investment?

stira [4]

Answer:

$2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The lost percentage = 9%

Amount she had = $22,750

We need to find Mrs. Fisher's original investment.

As she had lost 9%, it means she will remain with 91% of her investment. Let the original investment is x.

So,

$91\%\ of \ x=22,750\\\\\dfrac{91}{100}x=22,750\\\\x=\dfrac{22,750\times 100}{91}\\\\x=\$25000$

So, her original investment is equal to $25000.
