If each linear dimension is scaled by a factor of 10, then the area is scaled by a factor of 100. This is because 10^2 = 10*10 = 100. Consider a 3x3 square with area of 9. If we scaled the square by a linear factor of 10 then it's now a 30x30 square with area 900. The ratio of those two areas is 900/9 = 100. This example shows how the area is 100 times larger.

Going back to the problem at hand, we have the initial surface area of 16 square inches. The box is scaled up so that each dimension is 10 times larger, so the new surface area is 100 times what it used to be

New surface area = 100*(old surface area)
new surface area = 100*16
new surface area = 1600

Final Answer: 1600 square inches

Jeff sells popcorn for $3 per bag. To make a profit each day, he needs to sell at least $120 worth of popcorn. He has sold $36 w
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The inequality tha can be used to find how many more bags of popcorn Jeff still needs to sell today to make a profit is

x - 12 ≥ 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the number of bags of popcorn as p

Jeff sells popcorn for $3 per bag. To make a profit each day, he needs to sell at least $120 worth of popcorn.

We have the equation:

$3 × p ≥ $120

3p ≥ $120

p ≥ 120/3

p ≥ 40 bags

He must sell at least 40 bags to make a profit

He has sold $36 worth of popcorn today.

1 bag is $3

Hence, he has sold

$36/$3 = 12 bags of popcorn

Which inequality can be used to find Jeff still needs to sell today to make a profit?

This equality is given as:

x - 12 bags ≥ 40 bags

x - 12 ≥ 40

x ≥40 - 12

x ≥ 28 bags

She still need to sell 28 more bags of popcorn.
