The floor tile is made up of 5 pieces of 2 inches by 2 inches square.
Area of 1 square = 2 x 2 = 4 in²
Area of 5 square = 4 x 5 = 20 in²
Volume of the floor tile = 20 x 3/4 = 15 in³
------------------------------------------
Answer: 15 in³ (Answer G)
------------------------------------------
namely, let's rationalize the denominator in the fraction, for which case we'll be using the <u>conjugate</u> of that denominator, so we'll multiply top and bottom by its <u>conjugate</u>.
so the denominator is 5 + i, simply enough, its conjugate is just 5 - i, recall that same/same = 1, thus (5-i)/(5-i) = 1, and any expression multiplied by 1 is just itself, so we're not really changing the fraction per se.

Well, let us solve this step by step.
We know that Michelle earns 349 plus 3% of the Purchase
price. Let us call the Purchase price as P, so that:
Earnings, E = 349 + 0.03 P
So if she earns 8,965 (E = 8,965) so we can find P:
8,965 = 349 + 0.03 P
0.03 P = 8,616
P = $287,200
Take the numbers to one side
