Answer:

13,846\ cones

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of ice cream cones sold 5 years ago

Remember that

100\%+30\%=130\%=130/100=1.3

we know that

Sales 5 years ago, multiplied by the 30% increase should equal 18,000 ice cream cones.

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

1.30x=18,000

Solve for x

Divide by 1.3 both sides

x=13,846\ cones

The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is p= 2l 2w solve the formula for w.
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

w = \frac{p -2l}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 2l + 2w  Subtract 2l from both sides of the equation

p - 2l = 2p  Divide both sides by 2

\frac{p -2l}{2} = w

3. Janet is flying a kite on a string that is 75m long. The kite is 62m above the ground. Estimate the distance between Janet an
konstantin123 [22]
Answer: a) It will be a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 75 and a vertical leg that is 62. 
b) The length of the kite string is 75 (given in the problem). However, I believe you are looking for the distance from the spot on the ground beneath the kite to Janet. That is about 42.2 m.

To find the missing distance in the right triangle. You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem.  I set it up and solve it below.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 62^2 = 75^2
x^2 + 3844 = 5625
x^2 = 1781
x = 42.2 (about)
