Length of the rectangular patio = 12 1/2 feet
= 25/2 feet
Area of the rectangular patio = 103 1/8 square feet
= 825/8 square feet
Let us assume the width of the rectangular patio = x feet
Then
Area of the rectangular patio = Length * Width
825/8 = (25/2) * x
25x/2 = 825/8
25x = (825 * 2)/8 feet
25x = 825/4 feet
x = 825/(4 * 25) feet
= 33/4 feet
= 8 1/4 feet
So the width of the rectangular patio is 8 1/4 feet. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
Let us make a list of all the details we have
We are given
The cost of each solid chocolate truffle = s
The cost of each cream centre chocolate truffle = c
The cos to each chocolate truffle with nuts = n
The first type of sweet box that contains 5 each of the three types of chocolate truffle costs $41.25
That is 5s+5c+5n = 41.25 (cost of each type of truffle multiplied by their respective costs and all added together)
The second type of sweet box that contains 10 solid chocolate trufles, 5 cream centre truffles and 10 chocolate truffles with nuts cost $68.75
That is 10s+5c+10n = $68.75
The third type of sweet box that contains 24 truffles evenly divided that is 12 each of solid chocolate truffle and chocolate truffle with nuts cost $66.00
That is 12s+12n=$66.00
Hence option C is the right set of equations that will help us solve the values of each chocolate truffle.
10 to the power of 3, because it equals 1,000, which exceeds 972. I'm in elementary school, so I am not too sure if this is what you are asking. Hope it helps.
