Area of a parallelogram is A= length x width. So 9.5 x 4. 38 in
Answer: 35.88
Step-by-step explanation: So if something is marked up by 8.7% it means, it is 108.7% of the original number.
So we can convert 108.7% to a decimal by dividing 108.7 by 100, which equals 1.087.
So if we want to find the original number, all we have to do is divide 39 by 1.087.
This will give us 35.88 as the original number rounded to the nearest tenth.
Starting salary offered by Company A = $28000
Amount of raise per year given by Company A per year = $3000
Starting salary offered by Company B =$36000
Amount of raise per year given by Company B = $2000
Let us assume the number of years after which the salary offered by Company A will be the same as Company B = x
Then
28000 + 3000x = 36000 + 2000x
3000x - 2000x = 36000 - 28000
1000x = 8000
x = 8000/1000
= 8 years
So from the above deduction we can conclude that after 8 years the salary of Company A and Company B will become equal.
More information's are also provided for the second part of the question.
Starting salary offered by Company C = $18000
Let us assume the amount of raise per year given by Company C = z dollars
Number of years in which the salaries of Company C will become equal to the salaries of Company A and B = 8 years
Then
18000 + 8z = 28000 + (3000 * 8)
18000 + 8z = 28000 + 24000
18000 + 8z = 52000
8z = 52000 - 18000
8z = 34000
z = 34000/8
= 4250 dollars
From the above deduction we can conclude that the raise given by Company C should be $4250.
