The area of a rectangle has decreased by 2%.

MissTica

Answer:

The other side was decreased to approximately .89 times its original size, meaning it was reduced by approximately 11%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start with the basic equation for the area of a rectangle:

l × w = a

And now express the changes described above as an equation, using "p" as the amount that the width is changed:

(l × 1.1) × (w × p) = a × .98

Now let's rearrange both of those equations to solve for a / l. Starting with the first and easiest:

w = a/l

now the second one:

1.1l × wp = 0.98a

wp = 0.98a / 1.1l

1.1 wp / 0.98 = a/l

Now with both of those equalling a/l, we can equate them:

1.1 wp / 0.98 = w

We can then divide both sides by w, eliminating it

1.1wp / 0.98w = w/w

1.1p / 0.98 = 1

And solve for p

1.1p = 0.98

p = 0.98 / 1.1

p ≈ 0.89

So the width is scaled by approximately 89%

We can double check that too. Let's multiply that by the scaled length and see if we get the two percent decrease:

.89 × 1.1 = 0.979

That should be 0.98, and we're close enough. That difference of 1/1000 is due to rounding the 0.98 / 1.1 to .89. The actual result of that fraction is 0.89090909... if we multiply that by 1.1, we get exactly .98.

joe has a piggy bank with $8.90 split upon nickels, dimes, and quarters. The piggy bank contains 76 coins in all. The number of

kozerog [31]

Answer:

There are 38 dimes, 22 nickels and 16 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n, d and q represent the # of nickels, dimes and quarters respectively.

Then n + d + q = 76

The value of a nickel is $0.05; that of a dime is $0.10, and that of a quarter is $0.25.

Thus, the value of n nickels is $0.05n (and so on).

The total value of the coins is $0.05n + $0.10d + $0.25q = $8.90.

d = n + q allows us to eliminate d.

First, n + d + q = 76 becomes n + (n + q) + q = 76, and second:

$0.05n + $0.10(n + q) + $0.25q = $8.90. Here we have succeeded in eliminating d from two different equations, and now we have these two different equations in two unknowns (n and q), which is solvable.

Simplifying both equations, we get:

2n + 2q = 76 and

5n + 10n + 10q + 25q = 890, or 15n + 35q = 890

Let's use the substitution method of solving linear equations:

Rewrite 2n + 2q = 76 as n + q = 38, or n = 38 - q. Substituting this result into the second equation, we get:

15(38 - q) + 35 q = 890, or

570 - 15q + 35q = 890, or

570 + 20 q = 890. Then 20q = 890 - 570 = 320, and q = 320/20 = 16.

There are 16 quarters. Thus, the number of nickels is n = 38 - 16 = 22.

Finally, since n + d + q = 76, 22 + d + 16 = 76, or:

22 + d = 60, or d = 60 - 22 = 38.

There are 38 dimes, 22 nickels and 16 quarters.

Slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to -2x + 3y = 10 and contains P(10,-10)

Vlad [161]

Slope intercept: y = mx + b
3y = 2x + 10
Y = 2/3x + 10/3
Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Y = -3/2x + b
-10 = -3/2(10) + b
-10 = -15 + b, b = 5
Equation: y = -3/2x + 5

Seiji and Gavin both worked hard over the summer. Together they earned a total of $450. Gavin earned $30 more than seiji.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

(a) $s+g=450\\g=s+30$

(b) The graph is shown below.

(c) Seiji earned $ 210 and Gavin earned $ 240.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sum of earnings of Seiji and Gavin = $ 450

Gavin earns $ 30 more that that of Seiji.

(a)

So, as per question, if s and g are the amounts earned by Seiji and Gavin respectively, then;

$s+g=450\\g=s+30$

(b)

The graph is plotted using the x and y intercepts of each line.

For the line, $s+g=450$ , the x intercept is at $g=0$ . So, x intercept is (450,0). Similarly, the y intercept is when s=0, which is (0,450). Draw a line passing through these two points. The red line represents $s+g=450$ .

We follow the same process to plot the next line. The x intercept is at (-30,0) and y intercept is at (0,30). Draw a line passing through these two points. The blue line represents $g=s+30$ .

The graph is shown below.

(c)

From the graph, the point of intersection of the two lines gives the earnings of each of the persons.

The $x$ value of the point of intersection is the earning of Seiji which is $ 210 and the $y$ value is the earning of Gavin which is $ 240 as shown in the graph.

Therefore, Seiji earned $ 210 and Gavin earned $ 240.

55 divided (4 plus 7) times 6 plus(15 divided by3

Ne4ueva [31]

55/(4+7) x 6+(15/3)= 35

because...

55/(4+7)=5
5 x 6=30
30+(15/3)=35
So in total it equals to 35.
