Answer:
(y^2)/4 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
For a perimeter length of x, the side of a square will be x/4 and its area will be (x/4)^2.
If one side of the square is shortened by y/2 and the adjacent side is lengthened by y/2, then the difference in side lengths will be y. The area of the resulting rectangle will be ...
(x/4 -y/2)(x/4 +y/2) = (x/4)^2 -(y/2)^2
That is, the difference in area between the square and the rectangle is ...
(x/4)^2 - ((x/4)^2 -(y/2)^2) = (y/2)^2 = y^2/4
The positive difference between the area of the square region and the area of the rectangular region is y^2/4 square meters.
Answer:
$20,000
Step-by-step explanation:
You can quickly figure this by recognizing that the difference in commission must be the same as the base salary:
2.5%(car price) = $500
car price = $500/0.025 = $20,000
__
If you prefer, you can get there with equations.
At Job 1, the pay is ...
y = 10%×(car price)
At Job 2, the pay is ...
y = 7.5%×(car price)
Setting the equal (the two opportunities pay the same), we have ...
0.10(car price) = 500 +0.075(car price)
0.025(car price) = 500 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.075(car price)
car price = 500/0.025 = 20,000 . . . . divide by 0.025
Jim would have to sell a $20,000 car each week for the jobs to pay the same.
