65 % ------------------ 23.4 items
100 % ----------------- x items
65 : 100 = 23.4 : x
65 x = 100 * 23.4
65 x = 2340
x = 2340 : 65
x = 36
Answer: there were 36 items on the test.
Answer:
Area = 27 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
let L be the length of the rectangle
w the width
P the perimeter
A the area
<u>Formulas</u> :
P = 2×(L + w)
A = L × w
<u>We are Given</u> :
L = 3w
P = 2×(L + w)
⇔ 24 = 2×(3w + w)
⇔ 24 = 2×4w
⇔ 24 = 8w
⇔ w = 24/8 = 3
Then
L = 3w = 3×3 = 9
We obtain L = 9 and w = 3.
Then
A = L × w
= 9 × 3
= 27
Option C:
Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter
Solution:
Area of the square paper =
sq. cm
Area of the square corner removed = 16 sq. cm
Let us find the area of the remaining paper.
Area of the remaining paper = Area of the square paper – Area of the corner
Area of the remaining = 
= 
Using algebraic formula: 

Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter
Hence (3x – 4)(3x + 4) represents area of the remaining paper in square centimeters.
So some quick tips for inequalities:
**What you do to one side you HAVE TO do it to the other 2**
**If you ever divide a negative number past the inequality signs, the signs FLIP!!**
(e.g. 2>-5x>25)
-2/5 <x < -5
I hope that this has helped!
