1. Let the variable be x, which will be the weight of each box.

2. The equation would be total = weight of each box multiplied by the number of boxes and then that gets added to the 7 pounds

52 = 4x + 7

3. 52 = 4x + 7

Subtract 7 from both sides:

45 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4:

X = 45/4

X = 11.25

4. The weight of each care package was 11.25 pounds.

A car dealership buys a car for $12,500. They sell the car for $15,750. What is the percent markup?

Elodia [21]

Answer: 26%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the percentage markup is given as:

= Selling price - Cost / Cost price × 100

where selling price = $15750

Cost price = $12500

Percentage markup = ($15750 - $12500) / $12500 × 100

= $3250/$12500 × 100

= 26%

riding find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle use pencil and paper explain how you can interpret the Pythagorea

noname [10]

Solution

Question 1:

- Use of the area of squares to explain the Pythagoras theorem is given below

- The 3 squares given above have dimensions: a, b, and c.

- The areas of the squares are given by:

$\begin{gathered} \text{For square of length }a\to a^2 \\ \text{For square of length }b\to b^2 \\ \text{For square of length }c\to c^2 \end{gathered}$

- The Pythagoras theorem states that:

"The sum of the areas of the smaller squares add up to the area of the biggest square"

Thus, we have:

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

Question 2:

- We can apply the theorem as follows:

$\begin{gathered} 10^2+24^2=c^2 \\ 100+576=c^2 \\ 676=c^2 \\ \text{Take square root of both sides} \\ \\ c=\sqrt[]{676} \\ c=26 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the value of c is 26

The function f(x)=-(x-3)^2 +9 can be used to represent the area of a rectangle with the perimeter of 12 units, as a function of

Ivenika [448]

Maximum area of the rectangle is $9cm^{2}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

Considering the dimensions to be in cm

$f(x) = -(x-3)^{2} +9\\f(x) = -(x^{2} +9 - 6x)+9\\f(x) = -x^{2} +6x\\f'(x) = -2x+6\\-2x+6 = 0\\2x=6\\x=3cm\\\\$

Putting the value of x = 3

$Perimeter = 2(x+b)\\12 = 2(3+b)\\6 = 3+b\\b= 3cm$

$Area of rectangle = x X b\\ = 3 X 3\\ = 9cm^{2}$

Therefore, maximum area of the rectangle is $9cm^{2}$
