Answer:

w =4 ft and l =10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width

l = 2w+2

A = l*w

A = (2w+2)(w)

 40  = (2w+2) w

Distribute

40 = 2w^2 +2w

Subtract 40

0 = 2w^2 +2w - 40

Dividing each side by 2

0 = w^2 +w -20

Factor

0 = (w+5) (w-4)

Using the zero product property

w+5 =0     w-4=0

w= -5  w=4

Since we cant have a negative length

w=4

l = 2w+2 = 2(4)+2 = 8+2 =10

now let's put the expression on the upper side so it I'll be

x+3-x-2-1-x-x= 17×14

x-x-x-x+3-2-1= 238

melomori [17]

First: markup rate × wholesale price = amount of markup

Second: Well the markup rate is a percentage, you have to convert it into a decimal. Percent means "out of one hundred," so <span>80%</span> is equivalent to <span>80/100 </span>which is also equal to <span>80÷100</span>.

<span>Third: 80÷100=0.80</span>

0.80 × $93.00 = $74.40

Fourth: The markup rate is a percentage of the wholesale price that is added to get the retail price, you can find the retail price with the following equation: amount of markup + wholesale price = retail price

<span>$74.40</span> + <span>$93.00</span> = <span>$167.40</span>

The retail price of the chair should be <span>$167.40</span>.

The scale drawing of a rectangular room will be enlarged by a scale factor of 4 to create the actual room. The actual area of th
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The expression is equal to \frac{150}{4^{2}}

The area of the scale drawing is 9.375\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

let

z------> the scale factor

x------> the area of the actual room

y-----> the area of the scale drawing

so

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=4

x=150\ ft^{2}

substitute and solve for y

4^{2}=\frac{150}{y}

y=\frac{150}{4^{2}}=9.375\ ft^{2}
