Answer:

  13.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of -0.6 tells you the change in height in 7 hours will be ...

  (-0.6 cm/h) · (7 h) = -4.2 cm

This is added to the candle height after 12 hours, so the height after 19 hours is ...

  17.8 cm -4.2 cm = 13.6 cm

The length of a rectangle is six times its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 98 yd , find its area.
kumpel [21]
P=2(W + L)
p= 2W + 2L
98=2W + 2(6W)
98=2W + 12W
98=W
98/14=14W/14
W=7

L= 6W
L = 6(7)
L= 42

CHECK
p=2(7 +42)
p=2(49)
p= 98

Area of a rectangle = W X L
Area of a rectangle = 7 X 42
Area of a rectangle = 294

balandron [24]
To find the percent increase, you will first find the difference in price for the peak season economy and the regular economy price.

$526.3-$440.8=$85.50

Then divide the difference by the beginning price(economy).

85.50/440.8= 0.19

The percent increase is approximately 19%.
