Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
The values x = 2 and y = 5 make the equation true.
The formula is
I=prt
I amount earned?
P 2500
R interest rate 0.085
T time 4years
I=2,500×0.085×4
I=850
The height of the tank must be at least 1 foot, or 12 inches. We know the floor area (which is length x width) must be at least 400 inches. Therefore these minimum dimensions already tell us that the minimum volume is 400 x 12 = 4800 cubic inches. Since we have a maximum of 5000 cubic inches, the volume must be within the range of 4800 - 5000 cubic inches.
We can set the height at exactly 1 ft (or 12 inches). Then we can select length and width that multiply to 400 square inches, for example, L = 40 inches and W = 10 in. This gives us a tank of dimensions 40 x 10 x 12 = 4800 cubic inches, which fits all the criteria.
