AnnZ [28]

Answer:

4V = 3U

Step-by-step explanation:

The final cost of a sale item is determined by multiplying the price on the tag by 75%.

Let us assume that the final cost of the sale item is V and the price on the tag is given by U.

Then the equation that best describes the function that represents the situation is V = \frac{75U}{100} =\frac{3U}{4}

⇒ 4V = 3U  (Answer)

Pam’s grandfather has a garden that measures 4 feet by 6 feet. How much will the area be increased if he doubles the length and
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The area will be increased by 72 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 6 = 24

Now we have to double those lengths.

We know that 4 x 2 is 8 and 6 x 2 is 12.

So the new equation would be: 8 x 12 = 96

Now we take the original area and subtract it by the new area.

96 - 24 = 72

Hope this helps:)
