Answer:

$19.02

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of 8.95 = 1.3425

one pound = 8.95 = 1.34 = 7. 61

half a pound = 3.805

7.61 + 7.61 + 3.8 = 19.02

Samaria has 6 more than three times as many pieces of candy as Sydney. Samaria has 36 pieces of candy. How many does Sydney have

Vlad1618 [11]

Sam=3syd+6 and sam=36, since sam=sam we can say:

3syd+6=36

3syd=30

syd=10

So Sydney has 10 pieces of candy.

If you place a 89-foot ladder against the top of a 80-foot building, how many feet will

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{39 ft}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance from the foot of the ladder to the base of the building.

We have a right triangle, so we can use Pythagoras' Theorem.

$\begin{array}{rcl}80^{2} + x^{2}& = & 89^{2} \\6400+ x^{2} & = & 7921\\x^{2} & = & 1521\\x & = & \sqrt{1521}\\& = &\mathbf{39}\\\end{array}\\\text{The foot of the ladder will be $\large \boxed{\textbf{39 ft}}$ from the base of the building,}$
