Percent error is

2. The cost will be $31.95*(1+0.075) = $34.35
The 1 represents 100% of the original amount of $31.95, and now we add 7.5% (0.075) to the 100%. In other words we multiply $31.95 by 107.5%.
3. His commission will be $165 out of $4125, or $165/$4215 = 0.039 = 3.9%
4. The principal (amount of money you start with) is $12000, and the interest rate is 15% of that.
15% of $1800 = 0.15*$12000 = $1800
Answer:
3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the width of the deck. The deck adds to the pool dimensions on both sides, so the area of the site including pool and deck will be ...
A = (20 +2x)(50 +2x) = 1000 +140x +4x^2
The area of the pool alone is
A = (20)(50) = 1000
So, the area of the deck is the difference:
456 = (4x^2 +140x +1000) -(1000)
Dividing by 4 and subtracting 114, we have ...
x^2 +35x -114 = 0
(x -3)(x +38) = 0
Solutions to this are x = 3 and x = -38. The positive solution is the one of interest.
The deck is 3 feet wide.
a) 170.00 =8n -30
200= 8n
n = 200/8 = 25 items
b) since the expenses increased the profits would decrease
profit = 8(25)-40 = 200-40 = 160
170-160 = 10.00
profit decreased by $10.00
