Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the rectangular pen and y represent the width of the rectangular pen. Since the total area of the pen is 169 ft², hence:

Area = length * width

169 = xy

y = 169/x

Also the perimeter of the rectangular pen is:

Perimeter (P) = 2(length + width)

P = 2(x + y)

P = 2x + 2y

P = 2x + 2(169/x)

P = 2x + 338/x

The least amount of fencing is at dP/dx = 0, hence:

dP/dx = 2 - 338/x² = 0

338/x² = 2

2x² = 338

x² = 169

x = 13 feet

y = 169 / x = 169/13 = 13 feet

The least amount of fencing = P = 2(x + y) =  2(13 + 13) = 52 feet

Macy's is having an unbelievable sale this holiday season! All shirts are 205 off and all jeans are 25% off. How much would jean
natita [175]

Step-by-step explanation:

100% - 25% off = 75%

Here, 75% of the initial price X, is the sale price of jeans during the season which is $60.

75/100 × X = $60

75X/100 =$60

( cross multiply)

75X=100×60

75X= 6000

X=6000÷75

X= $80
