alex and Lara have $21.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 35% discount. They both want to purchase a

copy of the same book, which normally sells for $28.50 plus 10% sales tax. To check if he has enough to purchase the book, Alex takes 35% of $28.50 and subtracts that amount from the normal price. He takes 10% of the discounted selling price and adds it back to find the purchase amount. Lara takes 65% of the normal purchase price and then computes 110% of the reduced price. Is Alex correct? Is Lara correct? Do they have enough money to purchase the book? Explain your answer using complete sentences, and show your work.

Alex is correct the book would cost $18.52 before taxes adding 10% tax the book would cost an additional $1.85 for a total of $20.37. This would be just under the $21.00 that both Alex and Laura had to spend. Laura tried to combined the 35% discount which you cannot do. So yes they both would be able to purchase the book.

If you have 14 feet of fencing, what are the areas of the different rectangles you could enclose with the fencing? Consider only
disa [49]

Answer:

Area of rectangle possible. : 6ft² ; 10 ft², 12 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Feets of fencing = 14

Perimeter = 14

Let x = Length y = width

Perimeter = 2(x + y)

For x = 1

2(1 + y) = 14

1 + y = 7

y =6

Area of rectangle ; x *y = 1 * 6 = 6 ft²

For x = 2

2(2 + y) = 14

2 + y = 7

y = 5

Area of rectangle ; x *y = 2 * 5 = 10 ft²

For x = 3

2(3 + y) = 14

3 + y = 7

y =4

Area of rectangle ; x *y = 3 * 4 = 12 ft²

For x = 4

2(1 + y) = 14

4 + y = 7

y = 3

Area of rectangle ; x *y = 4 * 3 =12 ft²

Hence, Area of rectangle possible. : 6ft² ; 10 ft², 12 ft²

Hi :) anyone able to teach this? I don’t understand the question , thanks in advance!

a) 62.855m

We will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem here, as we know a and c, but not b. I have attached an image of a triangle sketch to set up the problem, which should hopefully help us to visualize this problem a bit better.

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(19.8)^2 + b^2 = (65.9)^2

392.04 + b^2 = 4342.81

b^2 = 3950.77

b = 62.855 (rounded to 3 places)

b) m = 0.315

The gradient is also known as the slope. I've shown what the points would be in the image attached. Now that we know the value of b (x in the points in image), we can use points E and C to find the slope.

Point 1: (0,0)

Point 2: (62.855, 19.8)

m = (19.8 - 0) / (62.855 - 0)

m = 19.8 / 62.855

m = 0.315 (rounded to three places)

c) 17.485 degrees

The angle of inclination would be angle C. To find angle C, we will need to use an inverse trigonometry function. Any can be used since we know all of the side lengths, but I will show Sine here, opposite / hypotenuse.

sin(x) = 19.8 / 65.9

x = sin^-1 (19.8/65.9)

x = 17.485 degrees (rounded to 3 places)

Hope this helps!! :)
