Find the % of profit
179 500 / 190 270 ≈ 0,94 = 94 %
100% - 94% = 6%
Answer: Width = 24 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let W represent the width of the rectangular sign.
The length of a rectangular sign is 6 inches more than half its width. It means that the length of the rectangular sign would be
W/2 + 6
The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as
Area = length × width
The area of the sign is 432 square inches. Therefore, the equation for the area of this sign would be
W(W/2 + 6) = 432
W²/2 + 6W = 432
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes
W² + 12W = 864
W² + 12W - 864 = 0
W² + 36W - 24W - 864 = 0
W(W + 36) - 24(W + 36) = 0
W - 24 = 0 or W + 36 = 0
W = 24 or W = - 36
Since W cannot be negative, then
W = 24
-7d > 21
d < -3
Remember the sign flips when you multiply or divide by a negative number.
