A) Total cost of materials: 145.86 + 52.91 + 17.63 = $216.40
b) Percent cost of hardware: 17.63/216.40 = 0.081
c) Percent cost paint and hardware: (17.63 + 52.91)/216.40 = 0.326
Let us assume the number of CDs Kate had = x
Number of CDs given to Sue = 5x/6
Number of CDs given to Joan = (5x/6) * ( 7/8)
= 35x/48
Number of CDs given to Ann = (35x/48) * (3/5)
= 7x/16
Total number of CDs Ann received = 70
Then
7x/16 = 70
x = 160
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the number of CDs that Kate originally had was 160. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your help.
The answer is ( x - 3 ) ( x - 5)
A = 1/2bh...for h
multiply both sides by 2
2A = bh
now divide both sides by b
(2a)/b = h
