The vendor has to sell 88 gingerbread houses to earn a profit of $665.60 and there is no chance that the vendor will earn $1500.
Given an equation showing profits of A Christmas vendor as
P=-0.1
+30g-1200.
We have to find the number of gingerbread houses that the vendor needs to sell in order to earn profit of $665.60 and $1500.
To find the number of gingerbread houses we have to put P=665.60 in the equation given which shows the profit earned by vendor.
665.60=-0.1
+30g-1200
0.1
-30g+1200+665.60=0
0.1
-30g+1865.60=0
Divide the above equation by 0.1.
-300g+18656=0
Solving for g we get,
g=[300±
]/2*1
g=[300±![\sqrt{90000-74624}]/2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B90000-74624%7D%5D%2F2)
g=[300±
]/2
g=(300±124)/2
g=(300+124)/2 , g=(300-124)/2
g=424/2, g=176/2
g=212,88
Because 212 is much greater than 88 so vendor prefers to choose selling of 88 gingerbread houses.
Put the value of P=1500 in equation P=-0.1
+30g-1200.
-0.1
+30g-1200=1500
0.1
-30g+1500+1200=0
0.1
-30g+2700=0
Dividing equation by 0.1.
-300g+27000=0
Solving the equation for finding value of g.
g=[300±
]/2*1
=[300±![\sqrt{90000-108000}] /2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B90000-108000%7D%5D%20%2F2)
=[300±
]/2
Because
comes out with an imaginary number so it cannot be solved for the number of gingerbread houses.
Hence the vendor has to sell 88 gingerbread houses to earn a profit of $665.60 and there is no chance that the vendor will earn $1500.

So the original lawn has an area
24 × 32 = 768 the new lawn will have area 425
this means the area of the sidewalk will be 768-425=343
now the sidewalk is a certain width of we draw it out and label it x we see the lawn has an area of

use the quadratic formula to solve. then you will know how wide the sidewalk is. I will attach picture
Hey, to find the area of the rhombus all you have to do is multiple the horizontal part in the inside to the vertical part (also inside the rhombus). After that divide by two and you have your answer.
C is your answer, you tell without solving
