The dimensions of the map are 8 feet × 4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; It is given that the perimeter of the map is 24 feet while the area is 32 square feet. The map is in the shape of a rectangle so we need to calculate its length and its width of this rectangle. The area of any particular rectangle is given by the multiplication of its length with width. The perimeter is given by double the value of the sum of its length and width.
Step 2; Equating these we get
Perimeter = 2 (l + w) = 24 feet
Area = l × w = 32 feet.
From the perimeter formula, (l + w) = = 12
So we have (l + w) = 12 while l × w = 32.
Step 3; Possible values of l and w are
(1 ,11), (2, 10), (3, 9), (4, 8), (5, 7), (6, 6), (7, 5), (8, 4), (9, 3), (10, 2) and (11, 1).
Out of these possibilities only (4, 8) and (8, 4) give a product of 32 but since l is greater than w we have the value of l as 8 feet while w is 4 feet.
The vendor has to sell 88 gingerbread houses to earn a profit of $665.60 and there is no chance that the vendor will earn $1500.
Given an equation showing profits of A Christmas vendor as
P=-0.1+30g-1200.
We have to find the number of gingerbread houses that the vendor needs to sell in order to earn profit of $665.60 and $1500.
To find the number of gingerbread houses we have to put P=665.60 in the equation given which shows the profit earned by vendor.
665.60=-0.1+30g-1200
0.1-30g+1200+665.60=0
0.1-30g+1865.60=0
Divide the above equation by 0.1.
-300g+18656=0
Solving for g we get,
g=[300±]/2*1
g=[300±
g=[300±]/2
g=(300±124)/2
g=(300+124)/2 , g=(300-124)/2
g=424/2, g=176/2
g=212,88
Because 212 is much greater than 88 so vendor prefers to choose selling of 88 gingerbread houses.
Put the value of P=1500 in equation P=-0.1+30g-1200.
-0.1+30g-1200=1500
0.1-30g+1500+1200=0
0.1-30g+2700=0
Dividing equation by 0.1.
-300g+27000=0
Solving the equation for finding value of g.
g=[300±]/2*1
=[300±
=[300±]/2
Because comes out with an imaginary number so it cannot be solved for the number of gingerbread houses.
Hence the vendor has to sell 88 gingerbread houses to earn a profit of $665.60 and there is no chance that the vendor will earn $1500.
