Answer: Company B
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must calculate the area of the carpet. Variable A represents area.


So the area of the carpet is 168 square feet.
To find what company A will charge we will multiply the 168 by 2.75 they charge per square foot.

Company A charges, $462, while Company B will charge $450 for the one room.
This means Company B has the better price.
Well, he only needs 5 gallons of beverages. Because he buys two containers of each, however, that means he bought 320 gallons total (I would say). How I got my answer:
There are 8 pints in a gallon (8 x 2)
There are 4 quarts in a gallon (4 x 2)
There are 16 cups in a gallon (16 x 2)
There are 128 ounces in a gallon (128 x 2)
With that being said, we can add these to find the total amount of gallons of beverages Julius bought. 16 + 8 + 8 + 32 + 256 = 320.
Hopefully this helps!
I think that this quesion is missing some background, that is that Ms. Donaldson earned 907.10
So the 34.55 were deduced from this number, and the remaining amount was:
907.10-34.55=872.65
After this, further 28% were deduced, which means that 100-28=72% were left.
And this is:72%*872.55= 628.236 (which we round to 628.24!)
Hope this helps! Don’t mind the part I crossed off.
