Answer:

The magazines sold by Jan is 8

<u>Solution:</u>

Let us denote Larry by l, Jan by j and Henry by h.

We are given that Larry sold twice as many magazines as Jan.

So we can formulate an equation as follows;

l =2j  --eq1

We also know that Henry sold 8 more magazines than Jan did.

Therefore it can be written as;

h=8+j      --eq2

We have also been given that Larry and Henry sold the same amount of magazines.

This can be written as follows;

h = l  --eq3

we can rewrite eq1 in term of l

j=\frac{l}{2} -- eqn 4

By substituting eq4 in eq2 we get;

h = 8+ \frac{l}{2}

h = \frac{(16+l)}{2}

2h = 16 + l   --eq5

From eq3 we know that h = l  

Therefore by substituting h for l we can rewrite eq5 as;

2l = 16+l

l = 16

This implies Larry sold 16 magazines.

But we know that Larry sold twice as many magazines as Jan, therefore  

j = \frac{16}{2}

j = 8

Hence Jan sold 8 magazines.

Given that f(x) is a function that represents number of hours required to travel, the domain of the function is: distance travelled in miles (x)

<em><u>Recall:</u></em>

  • In a relation that is a function, the domain of the function is the set of input values (x-values).
  • The range of the function is the set of output values (y-values or f(x)).

Thus, given that f(x) is a function that represents number of hours required to travel, therefore:

  • x = input values (domain) = distance travelled in miles
  • f(x) = output values (range) = number of hours.

Step 1:

Percent is part of 100.

Step 2

First part:

60 units split into 80% and 20%

\begin{gathered} 80\text{ \% of 60 units = }\frac{80}{100}\text{ }\times60\text{ = 48} \\ 20\text{ \% = 12} \end{gathered}

Second part

12 units = 40 %

\begin{gathered} 40\text{ \% = 12 units } \\ 60\text{ \%  = }\frac{60\times12}{40}\text{ = 18 units} \end{gathered}

Third part

30 % = 18 units

\begin{gathered} 30\text{ \%  =  18 units} \\ 70\text{ \%  = }\frac{18\text{ }\times\text{ 70}}{30}\text{ = 42 units} \end{gathered}

Fourth part

75 % = 42 units

\begin{gathered} 75\text{ \%  =  42 units} \\ 25\text{ \%  =  }\frac{25\text{ }\times\text{ 42}}{75}\text{ = 14 units} \end{gathered}

Final answer

14 + 42 = 56 units

The length of the bottom diagram = 56 units
