Answer:

<h2>The required percentage is 65.45%.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The total costing is $1000 \times 1.10 = 1100$

35% were given to the charity, hence 350 were given to the charity.

There are (1000 - 350) = 650 lapel pins remaining.

60% of 650 = $\frac{60}{100} \times 650 = 390$ werre sold for 3.00 each. Hence, earning from here is $390 \times3 = 1170$ .

40% of 650 = 260 were sold at 5.00 for 2. It can also be said that $\frac{260}{2} = 130$ were sold at 5.00 each. Earning from this section is $130 \times5 = 650$

Total earning is (1170 + 650) = 1820.

Profit percentage = $\frac{1820 - 1100}{1100} \times100 = \frac{720}{11} = 65.45$

Statuary Hall is an elliptical room in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The room is also called the Whispering Gall

Answer: a) $\frac{x^{2} }{2352.25 }$ + $\frac{y^{2} }{529}$ = 1

b) The distance of two foci is 85.4 feet

c) Area = 3502.67 square feet

Step-by-step explanation: a) An ellipse has the equation in the form of:

$\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} }$ + $\frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} }$ = 1, where a is the horizontal axis and b is the vertical axis.

For the Statuary Hall, a = $\frac{97}{2}$ = 48.5 and b = $\frac{46}{2}$ = 23, so the equation will be

$\frac{x^{2} }{2352.25 }$ + $\frac{y^{2} }{529}$ = 1.

b) To determine the distance of the foci, we have to calculate 2c, where c is the distance between one focus and the center of the ellipse. To find c, as a, b and c create a triangle with a as hypotenuse:

$a^{2}$ = $b^{2} + c^{2}$
