I believe that your answer to this question would be "A" because the number of cans recycled don't depend on anything but the amount of money does. So your answer is "A"!!!! X) :D :)
The digit 7 is in the tens place so 74 will become either 70 or 80 after rounding off to the nearest ten. Draw a number line with 3 numbers on it: 70, 75 and 80. (Both possible rounded off numbers and the number in the middle.
The number of possibilities for the first one is 50 choose 5, and the number of possibilities for the second one is 60 choose 6. Since 50 choose 5 is 2118760 and 60 choose 6 is 50063860. There are less possible outcomes for state "A" and therefore you have a higher chance of winning.

Answer:
a) w(4w-15)
b) w²
c) w(4w -15) = w²
d) w = 5
e) 5 by 5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) If w is the width, and the length is 15 less than 4 times the width, then the length is 4w-15. The area is the product of length and width.
A = w(4w -15)
__
b) If w is the side length, the area of the square is (also) the product of length and width:
A = w²
__
c) Equating the expressions for area, we have ...
w(4w -15) = w²
__
d) we can subtract the right side to get ...
4w² -15w -w² = 0
3w(w -5) = 0
This has solutions w=0 and w=5. Only the positive solution is sensible in this problem.
The side length of the square is 5 units.
__
e) The rectangle is 5 units wide, and 4(5)-15 = 5 units long.
The rectangle and square have the same width and the same area, so the rectangle must be a square.
