Answer:

a. 85.5 sq ft

b. 3 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The cardboard is rectangular in shape. How much he needs to paint is the same as the cardboard that he needs to paint.

The area of a rectangle is given as:

A = L * B

where L = length and B = breadth

Therefore, the area of the cardboard having dimensions 14 1/4 feet by 6 feet is:

A = 14 1/4 * 6

A = 57 / 4 * 6 = 85.5 sq feet

He needs to paint 85.5 sq feet of the cardboard.

b. On bottle of paint covers 40 sq feet. The number of bottles he will need for his backdrop will be the area he needs to paint divided by the amount of paint that can cover 40 sq feet:

85.5 / 40 =  2.14

Since the number of bottles he will need is a whole number and its greater than 2, then it must be 3.

To paint the entire cardboard, he must have 3 bottles of paint.

mike charges 100 dollars service charge plus 65 dollars per hour.  

amy charges 40 dollars service charge plus 80 dollars per hour.  

the cost to repair from mike is 100 + 65 * x.  

the cost to repair from amy is 40 + 80 * x.  

let x = 3 and you get:  

the cost to repair from mike is 100 + 65 * 3 = 295 dollars.  

the cost to repaid from amy is 40 + 80 * 3 = 280 dollars.  

as long as the time to repair is 3 hours or less, the cost to repair will be cheaper from amy.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

176 of 12% vinegar

44 of 7% vinegar

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage vinegar required = 11%

Volume = 220 mL

First brand % = 7%

Second brand % = 12%

Let p = volume of 12% vinegar material

Mixture :

0.12p + 0.07(220 - p) = 220 * 0.11

0.12p + 15.4 - 0.07p = 24.2

0.05p = 8.8

p = 8.8 / 0.05

p = 176

176 of 12% vinegar and

220 - 176 = 44

44 of 7% vinegar
