I think you can do this way:
Volume = B*h where B is the area of the base.
B= 4 * 10 = 40
V= 40 * 15
V= 600 cm^3
The answer she has is not correct.
All the steps she did are correct, except they forgot to convert the decimal answer into the proper percentage by multiplying it by 100.
The correct answer should be 0.125 * 100 = 12.5%
Answer:
P + M = 30
700P + 200M = 15000
Number of laser printers = 18
Number of color monitors = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P = number of laser printers
Let M = number of color monitors
Given total number of boxes = 30
⇒ P + M = 30
Given:
- $700 = cost of laser printer
- $200 = cost of color monitor
- $15000 = total cost of order
⇒ 700P + 200M = 15000
Rewrite P + M = 30 to make P the subject:
⇒ P = 30 - M
Substitute into 700P + 200M = 15000 and solve for M:
⇒ 700(30 - M) + 200M = 15000
⇒ 21000 - 700M + 200M = 15000
⇒ 500M = 6000
⇒ M = 12
Substitute found value for M into P = 30 - M and solve for P:
⇒ P = 30 - 12 = 18
