The volume of a rectangular box with a square base remains constant at 500 cm3 as the area of the base increases at a rate of 6

Answer:

the rate at which the height of the box is decreasing is -0.0593 cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Constant Volume of a rectangular box with a square base = 500 cm³

area of the base increases at a rate of 6 cm²/sec

so change in the area of the base with respect to time dA/dt = 6 cm²/sec

each side of the base is 15 cm long

so Area of the base = 15 cm × 15 cm = 225 cm²

the rate at which the height of the box is decreasing = ?

Now,

V = Ah

dv/dt = 0 ⇒ Adh/dt + hdA/DT = 0

⇒ dh/dt = -hdA/dt / A

we substitute

dh/dt = [ -( 500 / 225 ) × 6 ] / 225

dh/dt = [ -(2.22222 × 6)  ] / 225

dh/dt = [ -13.3333 ] / 225

dh/dt = -0.0593 cm/s

Therefore, the rate at which the height of the box is decreasing is -0.0593 cm/s

There are 257 people at a dance performance. Orchestra seats cost $12 and balcony seats cost $8. The total receipts were $2,716.
solniwko [45]

x = # of balcony seats

y = # of orchestra seats

We have to create a system of equations to solve this problem

x + y = 256

$8x + $12y = $2,716

We will solve this system of equations by elimination.

Multiply the first equation by -8

-8x - 8y = -2048

8x + 12y = 2716

Let's add the equations together

0 + 4y = 668

Simplify the left side

4y = 668

Divide both sides by 4

y = 167

We can subtract 167 from 257 to get the number of balcony seats.

257 - 167 = 90 balcony seats

There are 167 orchestra seats and 90 balcony seats

Step-by-step explanation:

because 9+14+10+7=40, you could say 9/40 or if you wanted to get a percent, you could multiply 40×2.5 ( because 40×2.5=100) then multiply 9×2.5 to get the percent
