Answer:

a.

Let x be the number of square yards of carpeting for which the total cost charged by the two companies will be the same.

We have an expression for the total cost of Country Carpets:

($22/ 1 yd^2)* (x yd^2) + $100

= $22*x+ $100

or 22x+ 100

We also have another expression for the total cost of City Carpets:

($25/ 1 yd^2)* (x yd^2)+ $70

= $25*x+ $70

or 25x+ 70

Now set the two expressions to be equal:

22x+ 100= 25x+ 70

⇒ 100- 70= 25x -22x

⇒ 30= 3x

⇒ 30/3= x

⇒ 10= x

The final answer for a is 10 square yards of carpeting~

b.

Let's assume that Mr. Shu wants to install carpeting for 1 square yard.

Country Carpets: $22*1+ $100= $122

City Carpets: $25*1+ $70= $95

Therefore, Mr. Shu will be likely to choose City Carpets if he wants to install carpeting for 1 square yard.

Now let's try x=11 (square yard):

Country Carpets= $22*11+ $100= $342

City Carpets= $25*11+ $70= $345

Therefore, Mr. Shu will be likely to choose Country Carpets if he wants to install carpeting for 11 square yard.

If you paid really close attention, you would notice that the price of City Carpets will be cheaper than the other when x is >0 and <10. At x=10, the price is equal. When x is >10, the price of Country Carpets will be cheaper than the other one.

So it depends:

If x were >0 and <10, Mr. Shu would be likely to choose City Carpets.

If x were 10, Mr. Shu could choose either Country Carpets or City Carpets.

If x were > 10, Mr. Shu would be likely to choose Country Carpets.

Hope this helps~

Helen got a 7% reduction in the price of a pair jeans that are normally $32. What is the approximate percent in the price?
adoni [48]

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The approximate percent decrease in the price is 21.87%, thus, the correct option is B.

<h3>What are Percentages?</h3>

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

Given the reduction in the price is $7, while the original cost is $32. Therefore, the approximate percent decrease in the price is,

Percentage decrease = 7/32  × 100%

                                     = 21.87%

Hence, the approximate percent decrease in the price is 21.87%, thus, the correct option is B.

The correct question is:

Helen got a $7 reduction in the price of a pair of jeans that are normally $32. What is the approximate percent decrease in the price?
