2/5 were sold in the morning. This is equal to 40% of the total.  That leaves 60% leftover.

 

3/4 were sold in the afternoon. This is equal to 75% of the 60% leftover or 45% of the total (.6x.75).

 

The difference between the two sales is 24 cartons or 5% (45%-40%). If 5% is equal to 24 then you can cross multiply to see what is the equivalent number of cartons out of 100%.

 

5/100 = 24/x

5x = 24(100)

5x = 2400

x = 480

 

ANSWER: 480 cartons

Mrs Alivia’s bathroom is in the shape of a rectangle with a width of 6 feet. Her kitchen is in the shape of a rectangle with a w
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

1. The length of the bathroom is equal to its width.  FALSE

2. Equation 2(x+6)=29 can be used to find the length of the bathroom, x.

TRUE

3. The legend of the bathroom is 11.5 feet.  FALSE

4. The equation 2 x+6=29 can be used to find the length of bathroom, x.

FALSE

5. The length of the bathroom is 8.5 feet. TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given:

The width of the bathroom = 6 feet

The width of the kitchen = 10.75 ft

The perimeter of the bathroom = 29 feet

Let us assume the length of the bathroom =  k units

PERIMETER OF A RECTANGLE = 2 ( LENGTH + WIDTH)

Now, for the Mrs Avila's bathroom

29 feet  = 2 (k + 6)

⇒ 29  = 2k + 12

or, 2 k =  29 - 12 = 17

⇒ k = 17/2  = 8.5 feet

So, the length of the bathroom = 8.5 units

Now, let us consider the given statements:

1. The length of the bathroom is equal to its width.  FALSE

As here, Length= 8.5 units and width =   6 units

2. Equation 2(x+6)=29 can be used to find the length of the bathroom, x.

TRUE

3. The legend of the bathroom is 11.5 feet.

FALSE, the length of the bathroom is 8.5 units.

4. The equation 2 x+6=29 can be used to find the length of bathroom, x.

FALSE, the correct equation that can be used is  2x + 12  = 29

5. The length of the bathroom is 8.5 feet.

TRUE

Find the area of the composite figure
nordsb [41]

Answer:

162 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Split this shape into two rectangles:

The big rectangle has a base of 16 and a height of 7 (subtract 12-5=7 for height) Multiply base*height to get area of big rectangle:

16*7 = 112 in

The small rectangle has a base of 10 and a height of 5. Mulitply base*height to get area of small rectangle:

10*5 = 50 in

Add both areas together:

112+50= 162 inches

a hiking trail is 20 kilometers long. park organizers want to build 5 rest stops for hikers with one on each end of the trail an
ICE Princess25 [194]

The distance that will separate each rest stop is 4 kilometers.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Division is the process of parting a number into equal parts using another number. The sign used to denote division is ÷. Division is one of the basic mathematical operations.

The distance = length of the trail / number of rest stops

20 km / 5 = 4km
