Answer:

We suppose that a is the old price in cents

the total cost of 9.20 $ equals 920 cents

so we have 20 liters bought with the old price (a) and 10 liters with the new price (a + 2). This is translated into this equation where a is the old price therefore our quest to be answered

20 xa + 10 x (a + 2) = 920 (cents)

20 xa + 10 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa = 920 - 20

30 xa = 900

a = 900: 30

a = 30 (cents)

therefore the old price for 1 liter of petrol is 30 cents

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

Pani-rosa [81]

Let d be the number of days and h be the height

h = 13 + 0.6d


Answer: (a) h = 13 + 0.6d


Given height = 0.208m, find d:


0.208m = 20.8 cm


20.8 = 13 + 0.6d

0.6d = 20.8 - 13 = 7.8

d = 7.8 ÷ 0.6 = 13


Answer: (b) 13 days

In the figure,ABC is a right-angled triangle.PQ=24cm,PR=45cm and T is a point on QR such that PT丄QR.Find PT.
snow_tiger [21]

RQ² = RP² + PQ²

RQ² = 45² + 24²

RQ² = 2025 + 576

RQ² = 2601

RQ = 51

PT/PR = PQ/RQ

PT/45 = 24/51

PT = (24/51) × 45

PT = (8/17) × 45

PT = 360/17

<h3>The volume of a rectangular prism</h3>

The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as:

V = lwh

If turner and his grandfather used 18 bags of topsoil, each containing 3/4 of a cubic foot, to fill the bed completely, hence;

V = 3/4 * 18

V = 13.5 cubic foot

In order to determine the length of the garden;

135/10 = 9/2 * 1/2l

27/2 =9/4 l

18l = 27 * 4

18l = 108

l = 6 feet

Hence the length of the garden bed is 6 feet
