Answer:

110 red bricks she add in order to double the total number of bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

Kali builds a tower using only red, green, and blue toy bricks in a ratio of 4:3:1.

The original ratio of red, green and blue is 4x, 3x and x

the total of the original is 4x+3x+x=8x

She then removes 1/2 of the green bricks

she remove \frac{3}{2}x

adds 1/3 more blue bricks

x+\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{4}{3}x

The total of new is 4x+\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{4}{3}x=\frac{41}{6}x

size is reduced by 14 bricks

total of original - total of new = 14

8x -\frac{41}{6}x=14

\frac{7}{6}x=14

multiply both sides by 6/7

x= 12

original number of bricks = 8x = 8 times 12= 96

total of new bricks =  \frac{41}{6}(12)=82

Double the original number = 2 \cdot 96 = 192

the number of red bricks needs to add is

192-82=110

110 red bricks she add in order to double the total number of bricks

A pentagon can be divided into five congruent triangles. The function t=5 tan theta models the height of each triangle. What is
pentagon [3]
We assume that the dimension 5 has units of feet.

The area of each triangle will be
  A = (1/2)bh
where b=2×(5 ft), h=(5 ft)tan(54°)
Then
  A = (1/2)(2×5 ft)(5 ft)(tan(54°)
  A = 25×tan(54°) ft²

There are 5 such triangles making up this pentagon, so the total area is
  total area = 5×25×tan(54°) ft² ≈ 172 ft²

Owen earns a base salary plus a commission that is a percent of his total sales. His total weekly pay is described by f(x)=0.15x
Travka [436]

Answer:

0.05x

This is equivalent to 5% of the total amount of sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous Weekly pay function for Owen; f (x) = 0.15x +325-------------------- (1)

Current   Weekly pay function for Owen; g(x) = 0.20x +325--------------------(2)

Change in Owen's Salary plan is equation (2) minus equation (1)

g(x) - f(x) = (0.20x+325)-(0.15x+325)

              =  0.05x

The new change in Owen's salary is 5% of the total amount of sales
