Answer:

Q1:  20,000 envelopes

Q2: Savings = $700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of envelopes stuffed by each be "x"

We can create 2 equations, each for Anna and Jason, equate them and find our answer.

<u>For Anna:</u>

$14 for 400, so

14/400 = $0.035 PER ENVELOPE

Savings for Anna is  0.035x

<u>For Jason:</u>

Already has 100 (fixed)

Gets $9 for 300 envelopes, so

9/300 = $0.03 PER ENVELOPE

Savings for Jason is  100 + 0.03x

We equate and solve for x:

0.035x=100+0.03x\\0.005x=100\\x=20,000

So, For both their savings to be equal, they need to stuff 20,000 envelopes

Their savings would be:

0.035x

or 100 + 0.03x

We can plug in x = 20,000 in any one equation, the answer would be same.

So,

0.035(20,000) = $700

savings = $700

A rectangle has a perimeter of 12 centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters. What is the length of the base?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for perimeter is<u> 2(l+w) or l+l+w+w</u>

We know that the height is 5 cm so that means <em><u>w= 5</u></em> also that there is 5 cm on both sides of the rectangle. So 5+5=10 so that means that the length of the rectangle is <em><u>1 cm</u></em> if you add the length together you 2 when you add the width you get 10. <em>10+2=12.</em>
