Answer:

The Length of swimming pool is 8.35 feet

The width of swimming pool is 5.35 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The length of swimming pool is 3 feet longer that its width

Let The width of swimming pool = w  feet

So, The Length of swimming pool = L = (w + 3) feet

Now, The swimming pool is surrounded by deck of 2 feet wide

The width of deck = w' = w + 2 + 2 = (w + 4) feet

The area of deck = 116 feet²

The length of deck = L' = L + 2 + 2 = (L + 4) feet

So, L' = (w + 3 + 4) feet

I.e L' = (w + 7) feet

∵ The area of deck = 116 feet²

So , L' × w' = 116 feet²

(w + 7)× (w + 4) = 116

Or, w² + 4 w + 7 w + 28 = 116

Or, w² + 11 w - 88 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation as

ax² + bx + c = 0

So, w = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\times a\times c}}{2\times a}

Or, w = \dfrac{-11\pm \sqrt{11^{2}-4\times 1\times (-88)}}{2\times 1}

Or, w = \dfrac{-11\pm \sqrt{473}}{2}

or, w = \dfrac{-11\pm 21.7}{2}

or, w = 5.35 , -16.35

The width of swimming pool = w = 5.35 feet

The Length of swimming pool = L = (5.35 + 3) feet = 8.35 feet

Hence, The Length of swimming pool is 8.35 feet

And The width of swimming pool is 5.35 feet

7. Given the following information, calculate, in order, the amount credited and the outstanding balance.
svp [43]

Answer:

C. $824.74, $175.26

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Amount Credited

The formula to calculate the amount credited =

Amount paid ÷ ( 100% - Discount)

Discount is given in the question as 3/10

Where 3 = Discount rate

Amount paid = $800

Amount credited = 800/( 100% - 3%)

= 800/ 97%

= 800/ 0.97

= $824.74

b) Outstanding balance = Invoice - Amount credited

Invoice = $1000

Amount credited = $824.74

Outstanding balance = $1000 - $824.74

= $175.26
