Answer with explanation:

Amount earned by Ron Monthly = $ 2,980

To find maximum monthly rent that Ron ,Could afford, we will use $\frac{28}{36}$ rule, which states that ,28% of monthly gross income should be used for debt purposes and 36% of monthly gross income should be used for debt Purposes.

Maximum Monthly rent that Ron could afford

=28% of $2,980

$=\frac{28}[100}\times 2980\\\\=\frac{28 \times 298}{10}\\\\=\frac{8344}{10}\\\\=834.40$

Option C: $ 834.40

A square garden plot measures 180 square feet. A second square garden plot measures 320 square feet. How many more feet of fence

REY [17]

The second garden plot will require 8√5 feet more fence than the first garden plot.

Further explanation:

In order to find the fence, we have to find the perimeter of both squares

So,

Area of Square 1: A1=180 square feet

Area of Square 2: A2=320 Square feet

Let x be the side of square 1:

Then,

$A_1=x^2\\180=x^2\\Taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{180}=\sqrt{x^2}\\x=\sqrt{2*2*3*3*5}\\x=\sqrt{2^2*3^2*5}\\x=2*3\sqrt{5}\\x=6\sqrt{5}$

For second square:

Let y be the side of second square

$A_2=y^2\\320=y^2\\Taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{320}=\sqrt{y^2}\\y=\sqrt{2*2*2*2*2*2*5}\\y=\sqrt{2^2*2^2*2^2*5}\\y=2*2*2\sqrt{5}\\y=8\sqrt{5}$
