Answer:
A: yes because the sample is fairly small and is collected in a convenient manner
The area of the rectangular garden is 50 x 10 = 500 square feet.
The perimeter of the rectangular garden is 50 + 50 + 10 +10 =120 feet.
The perimeter of the square also needs to be 120 because it is using the same amount of fence.
Divide 120 by 4 sides: 120/4 = 30
Each side of the square garden would need to be 30 feet.
The area of a square is Side^2, 30^2 = 900 square feet.
The square is 900 - 500 = 400 square feet more.
Answers and Step-by-step explanations:
(a)
We need to figure out the amount (or total cost) for each size candy given that they sell a certain number of each box. For the small box, we're given the cost is $4.70, while the large box is $7.00.
We buy x of the small box, so the total amount should be 4.70 * x, or just 4.70x. We buy y of the large box, so the total amount should be 7.00 * y, or just 7y.
So on the table, the top value should be 4.70x, and the bottom value should be 7y.
(b)
The total number of boxes sold was 45 boxes. Remember that x boxes were small and y boxes were large. Since the number of small boxes plus the number of large boxes is equal to the total of 45, we can write:
x + y = 45
(c)
The total cost was $269, so we can write this as the sum of the amounts that we found in part (a):
4.70x + 7y = 269
