The expression:
gives the distance traveled by the aircraft in t hours, so, for t = 6:
Cindy is 72 inches long. Imagine it like a right triangle. Her shadow is the base, she is the side, and the distance between her head and the end of the shadow is the diagonal line connecting the two. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find how tall cindy is.
a²+b²=c² a=21, the length of the shadow
b= ? cindy's height
c= 75, the distance from her head to the edge of the shadow
21²+ b²=75²
441 +b² = 5625
-441 -441
------ -------
0 5184
b² = 5184
√b² =√5184
b= 72

As you want a 60% discount, you must find 40% of $12.25.
40% of $12.25 is the same as 2/5 of $12.25.
Now, 12.25 / 5 = 2.45
And, 2.45 x 2 = 4.90
--------------
This means that 60% off $12.25 is $4.90.
I think the answer is 5700
