Good evening

Answer:

<h2>75</h2><h2 />

Step-by-step

let c be the total number of cartoons

Cost of purchase = 50c

total sale price = 100(c-15)

profit = total sale price - cost of purchase    

        = 100(c-15) - 50c = 2250 cents

Then (100c-50c) - 1500 = 2250

then 50c = 3750

Then c = 3750/50 = 75

Solve for the roots in simplest form by completing the square <br><br> x^2-12x+20=0
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x = 10 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0

Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 - 12 x = -20

Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

Add 36 to both sides:

x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16

Hint: | Factor the left hand side.

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 6)^2 = 16

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

x = 10 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

Answer: x = 10 or x = 2

You are planning on retiling your bathroom floor and buy 96 square feet of tile. If the length of the bathroom is
Rudik [331]

Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 96 sq. feet of tile is bought to retile the bathroom.

It means area of bathroom is 93/2 x^2 = 96\\=> 3 x^2 = 96*2=192\\=>  x^2 = 192/3 = 64\\=>\sqrt{x^2}  = \sqrt{64} \\=> x = 86 sq. feet

Width of bathroom be x

Given that the length of the bathroom is  one and a half times the width

Length of bathroom in term sod width = 1 1/2* x = 3/2 x

we know area of rectangle is given by length * width

therefore area of bathroom =( x* 3/2 x) = 3/2 x^2

Also area of  bathroom is 86 sq. feet, therefore

3/2 x^2 = 96\\=> 3 x^2 = 96*2=192\\=>  x^2 = 192/3 = 64\\=>\sqrt{x^2}  = \sqrt{64} \\=> x = 8

Thus, width of bathroom is 8 feet.

Asap<br> It is for past paper that is due in tomorrow 29th
love history [14]

Answer:

(i) 22.5

(ii) 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

(i)

AB:PQ = 2:5 = 1:2.5

So PQ is 2.5 times longer than AB.

PQ=2.5AB=(2.5)9=22.5

(ii):

Since the triangles are similar, their sides are in ratio to each other. So if PQ was 2.5 times longer than AB, QR must also be 2.5 times longer than BC:

QR=2.5BC

BC=QR/2.5=18/2.5=7.2
