75% ended the race
25-18=6
6 goes into 24 4 times so it is 25% that did not finish
100%-25%=75%
So 75% finished the race
0.015*202455 = 3,036.825
3,036.825+750 = 3,786.83
$3,786.83
Product of a number and four is 4x
<span>12 more than that is 12+4x </span>
<span>fewer than 60 </span>
<span>12 + 4x < 60</span>
Answer:
Width=10
Length=18
Step-by-step explanation:
The length is 2 feet less then twice the width
Let the width be x.
Then the length is 2x -2 based on the given information. Use this to make an equation since it is known that the area is 180feet squared.
x(2x-2)=180
2x^2 - 2x - 180 = 0
2( x^2 - x - 90) = 0
We now have a factorable quadratic.
2(x+9)(x-10)=0
So by zero product property, x=-9, x=10 Since a measure cannot be negative, -9 is an extraneous solution.
So x=10
Then the width is 10 and the length is 18
Hope this helps! Let me know if it is correct!
