Answer:
[see below]
Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of desks needed to make
equation: 150 +15.50x >= 400
solution:
150 +15.50x >=400
15.50x = 250
x = 250/15.50 = 16.129
he needs to assemble 17 desks
15.50*17 = 263.50 +150 = $413.50
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(c) $72
Step-by-step explanation:
Each tile is 8/12 ft = 2/3 ft on a side. Then 8/(2/3) = 12 tiles will fit along each edge of the square area to be tiled. That is ...
12 × 12 = 144
tiles will be needed to cover the area.
The cost of 144 tiles at $0.50 each is ...
(144)($0.50) = $72.00
