In a college parking lot, the number of ordinary cars is larger than the number of sport utility vehicles by 42.9%. the differen

fenix001 [56]

Let
x = number of common cars
y = number of suvs
we can write the following system of equations
x-y = 12
x = 1.429y
Solving the system we have
x-y = 12
1.429y-y = 12
and (1,429-1) = 12
y = (12) / (1,429-1) = 27.97202797
then,
x = 1429 * (27.97202797)
x = 39.97202797
answer
The number of suvs in the parking lot is 28

What is the measure of b if a=20 and c=29. using the pythagorean theorem

kicyunya [14]

Since a^2+b^2=c^2 becomes 20^2+b^2=29^2, we solve for b:

400+b^2=841

b^2=441

b=21

So the length of b is 21 units.

Hope this helped!

He paid $5.83 to make each shirt and sold each shirt at a marked-up price.

Naddika [18.5K]

we know he made a profit of 1834 for 200 shirts, let's divide those to see how much profit per shirt

$\cfrac{1834}{200}\implies \cfrac{917}{100}\implies 9.17$

so he made a profit of 9.17 per shirt, now profit is surplus value, value beyond the cost, we know its cost was 5.83 per shirt, so if we take 5.83 to be 100%, how much is 9.17 off of it in percentage?

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 5.83&100\\ 9.17&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{5.83}{9.17}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 5.83x=917 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{917}{5.83}\implies x \approx 157.29$
