Let x be the width of the cardboard (which means the length of the cardboard is x+88), then the dimensions of the box are:
Length = [(x + 88) - 2(33)]
Width = x - 2(33)
Heighth = 33
Volume = length · width · heighth
144,144 = [(x + 88) - 2(33)] · [x - 2(33)] · 33
144,144 = (x+22)(x-66)(33)
4368 = (x+22)(x-66)
4368 = x² - 44x - 1452
0 = x² - 44x - 5820
use the quadratic formula to calculate that x = 101
Answer: cardboard width = 101, cardboard length = 189
Answer:
the answer is 1/2 which loos like "D"
Step-by-step explanation:
the top ends up being x ^-8 and the denominator is x^-7
which is x^&/x^8 = 1/x = 1/2
To get the answer we can use proportion
40$ ------------- 100%
2$ ---------------- x
crossmultiply now
40x=2*100 /:40
x=200:40
x=5% - its the answer
4,000 multiplied by 6.75%=27,000
27,000 multiplied by 5 = 135,000
4,000-135,000=131,000 amount of interest paid
