Answer:
The correct answer is 15 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the required poster be a cm.
We need to have a 6 cm margin at the top and a 4 cm margin at the bottom. Thus total margin combining top and bottom is 10 cm.
Similarly total margin combining both the sides is (4+4=) 8 cm.
So the required printing area of the poster is given by {( a-10 ) × ( a - 8) }
This area is equal to 125 as per as the given problem.
∴ (a - 10) × (a - 8) = 125
⇒ - 18 a +80 -125 =0
⇒ - 18 a -45 = 0
⇒ (a-15) (a-3) = 0
By law of trichotomy the possible values of a are 15 and 3.
But a=3 is absurd as a 4.
Thus the required answer is 15 cm.

Answer:
Amount theta she is putting in Checking account is 2272.80
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Amount on check = 2941
Amount that he want in cash = 100
Amount she put in saving account = 20% of remaining after getting cash
Remaining Amount she put in checking account.
To find: Amount in her Checking Account.
Amount left after taking cash = 2941 - 100 = 2841
Amount that she put in saving account = 20% of 2841 = = 568.20
Amount in her checking account = 2941 - 100 - 568.20 = 2272.8
Therefore, Amount theta she is putting in Checking account is 2272.80
I hope this helps you.
