Answer: $16

Step-by-step explanation:

As the book was purchased for half its price plus 8 you can create the equation 1/2x + 8 = x. Then, simplifying the expression you get x = 16. Thus, the book costs 16 dollars.

$\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount}\\\\
A=P(1+rt)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$500\\
r=rate\to 6\%\to \frac{6}{100}\to &0.06\\
t=years\to &6
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=500(1+0.06\cdot 6)$

check the picture below.

now, we're assuming the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid, namely AD = BC, and therefore the triangles are twins.

incidentally, b is the height of the trapezoid and likewise is also the altitude or height of the concrete triangle.

so we can simply get the area o the trapezoid, notice the bottom base is a+185+a, and then get the area of the concrete triangle and subtract the triangle from the trapezoid, what's leftover is just the vegetation area.

$\bf \begin{cases} a=283\cdot cos(80^o)\\ a\approx 49.14\\ --------\\ b=283\cdot sin(80^o)\\ b\approx 278.70 \end{cases}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(x+y)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} x,y=\stackrel{bases}{parallel~sides}\\ h=height\\ ----------\\ x=185\\ y\approx \stackrel{a+185+a}{283.28}\\ h\approx\stackrel{b}{278.70} \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=\cfrac{278.70(185+283.28)}{2}\implies A\approx 65254.818$

so that's the area of the trapezoid, now let's get the area of the triangle.

$\bf \stackrel{triangle}{\cfrac{1}{2}(185)(b)}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}(185)(278.70)\qquad \approx 25779.80\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area for vegetation}}{\stackrel{\textit{area of trapezoid}}{65254.818}~~-~~\stackrel{\textit{area of triangle}}{25779.80}}\implies 39475.018$

since we know 36 yd² cost 12 bucks, then how much will it be for 39475.018 yd²?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} yd^2&\$\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 36&12\\ 39475.018&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{36}{39475.018}=\cfrac{12}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{39475.018\cdot 12}{36} \\\\\\ x\approx 13158.339\overline{3}$

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Easter, Christmas, birthdays, and New Year

Step-by-step explanation:

For me, I would choose Easter because before easter we always go to a church and stay there whole night. After 3-4 a.m, we go home and take a nap. But the most fun activity that we do during Easter is playing a game where we pick the best eggs and beat with each other. Later, our parents hide eggs and a couple of toys in the park and me and my siblings begin finding them.
