3 yards = 36*3 = 108 inches
-> total of width and length = 108/2 = 54 inches, because perimeter = 2*total of length and width.
=> length + width = 54 inches
and 6 ≤ width <span>≤ 12
=> all possible dimensions are:
6x48
7x47
8x46
9x45
10x44
11x43
12x42</span>
34 since it is a right angle it is equal to 90
Answer: For the sum of 130
First: $90
Second: $40
Step-by-step explanation:
We write equations for each part of this situation.
<u>The Total Charge</u>
Together they charged 1550. This means 1550 is made up of the first mechanics rate for 15 hours and the second's rate for 5 hours. Lets call the first's rate a, so he charges 15a. The second's let's call b. He charges 5b. We add them together 15a+5b=1550.
<u>The Sum of the Rates</u>
Since the first's rate is a and the second is b, we can write a+b=130 since their sum is 130.
We solve for a and b by substituting one equation into another. Solve for the variable. Then substitute the value into the equation to find the other variable.
For a+b=130, rearrange to b=130-a and substitute into 15a+5b=1550.
15a + 5 (130-a)=1550
15a+650-5a=1550
10a+650-650=1550-650
10a=900
a=$90 was charged by the first mechanic.
We substitute to find the second mechanic's rate.
90+b=130
90-90+b=130-90
b= $40 was charged by the second mechanic
6.506875 is the answer because 7.25% out of 100 is .0725 and 89.75 times that is 6.506875
