Complete question :

A 12-foot by 15-foot patio is increased by placing a stone border around the patio. The width of the border is the same all around the patio.The perimeter of the patio after it is expanded is 74 feet. The equation which represents x, the width of the border is 2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74. What is the width of the border?

1) 2 1/2 feet

2) 3 feet

4) 5 feet

5) 8 1/2 feet

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for X in the perimeter equation :

2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74

Open the bracket

2[(12 + 2x + 15 + 2x)] = 74

2(27 + 4x) = 74

54 + 8x = 74

8x = 74 - 54

8x = 20

x = 20/8

x = 2.5

Hence, width fo border = 2.5

A store has a sale with 10% off every item. When you enter the store, you receive a coupon that states that you receive an addit
sweet [91]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

We are told that the store offers off 10% of sales, this means that the store is offsetting the price down by 10% hence a price reduction.

Moreso, <em>a coupon is a voucher entitling the holder to a discount off a particular product</em>. the coupon is 40%, hence this is equal to a discount, that is price reduction by 40%.

Step two:

<em>Say the price of an item is $100, a coupon if 40% will entitle the holder to only pay $60, that is</em>

=40/100*100

=0.4*100

=$40 off

= 100-40

=$60

<u>The total percent of reduction 10+40= 50%</u>

<u>This is equal to a discount on the sales price</u>
