Answer:
$45.15
Step-by-step explanation:
When you are dealing with questions with percents in them—like this one—you have to turn the percent into a decimal. To make 7.5% into a decimal, you move the decimal point 2 spaces to the left. So, 7.5% is also 0.075.
Now, we have to use this formula for these types of questions:
x + x(y)= the price with tax (or markup)
So, we can substitute the variables.
42+42(0.075)=the retail price
42(0.075)=3.15
42+3.15=45.15
So, the retail price will be $45.15

Answer:
a) w(4w-15)
b) w²
c) w(4w -15) = w²
d) w = 5
e) 5 by 5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) If w is the width, and the length is 15 less than 4 times the width, then the length is 4w-15. The area is the product of length and width.
A = w(4w -15)
__
b) If w is the side length, the area of the square is (also) the product of length and width:
A = w²
__
c) Equating the expressions for area, we have ...
w(4w -15) = w²
__
d) we can subtract the right side to get ...
4w² -15w -w² = 0
3w(w -5) = 0
This has solutions w=0 and w=5. Only the positive solution is sensible in this problem.
The side length of the square is 5 units.
__
e) The rectangle is 5 units wide, and 4(5)-15 = 5 units long.
The rectangle and square have the same width and the same area, so the rectangle must be a square.
