Answer:

The number sold at $12.50 is  25

The number sold at $9.50 is 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

x 12.50 + y 9.50=901.50

x+y= 87

Where

x= number of pottery pieces sold

y= number of pottery pieces sold at a decreased price  

Multiplying the second equation by 9.50, and subtracting the second equation to the first equation:

12.50 x + 9.50y = 901.50

-

9.50 x+ 9.50 y= 826.5

__________________

3 x = 75

Solving for x

x =75/3

x = 25

Replacing x=25 on any equation:

x+y= 87

25+y =87

y=87-25

y= 62

Find the area of the figure. please help my teacher is waiting.......
katrin [286]

Answer:

The area of the shape is 89m²

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to subtract the area of the empty triangle from the area of the rectangle.

The rectangle's area is 13m × 8m = 104m²

The triangle's area is (6m × (13 - 8)m) / 2 = (6 × 5) / 2 m² = 15m²

Subtract the triangle's area from the rectangle:

104m² - 15m²

= 89m²

The area of a parallelogram is 6 ft' and the height is 3 ft. Find the length of the corresponding base.
Reil [10]
Just do 6/3 because you have the area and one length, just divide the area by the height you have.

Juan wants to change the shape of his vegetable garden from a square to a rectangle, but keep the same area so he can grow the s
irina [24]

The value of x that makes sense in this context is; 32.

The dimensions of the new garden is; 64 by 16.

<h3>How to find the real dimensions of the rectangle?</h3>

The expression that represents the problem statement is;

x² = (2x)(x – 16)

Expanding the bracket gives us;

x² = 2x² – 32x

x² - 32x = 0

x(x - 32) = 0

Thus; x = 0 or x = 32

x can't be 0 and as such the value of x is 32.

Thus;

The length of the new garden is; l = 2x = 64.

The width of the new garden is; w = x - 16 = 32 - 16 = 16

The dimensions of the new garden are therefore; 64 by 16
