Left triangle area
.. (1/2)*(30 ft)*(72 ft) = 1080 ft^2
Middle walkway area
.. (20 ft)*(72 ft) = 1440 ft^2
Right triangle area
.. same as left triangle area, 1080 ft^2
Total area
.. 1080 ft^2 +1440 ft^2 +1080 ft^2 = 3600 ft^2
_____
Check:
Parallelogram area = base*height = (50 ft)*(72 ft) = 3600 ft^2
Answer: 24%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are informed that the Girl Scout Troop started with 25 girls and at the end of the year party there were 31 girls. The percentage change will be:
= (31 - 25) / 25 × 100
= 6/25 × 100
= 24%
The error that Gabby made was that she used 31 as the base. This is expressed below:
= 31 - 25) / 31 × 100
= 6/31 × 100
= 19.4%
4 donuts because you can change the denominator to 6 and get 4/6 and thats how you get 4
Answer:
In the Garden Club the cost will be a fixed fee of $25 and $10 for each rosebush, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:
C1(X) = $25 + $10*X
While in the local nursery there is no initial cost, and each rosebush costs $15, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:
C2(X) = $15*X
Now, let's find the value of X where C1 and C2 are equal, this is:
$25 + $10*X = $15*X
$25 = $15*X - $10*X = $5*X
X = 25/5 = 5
This means that if he buys 5 rosebushes, he will pay the same amount in both places.
If he buys less than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the local nursery (as it has a bigger slope, but no initial fee)
If he buys more than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the Garden club (because it has a smaller slope)
