Okay, if the jeans were originally $80, take 40% off of that (40% of 80 is 32) so you’d get 48. Now take 48 and multiply by 1.07 (to get 107% of the $48, to find a percentage you can move the decimal place left 2 digits and multiply), so Justin would pay $51.36 in total.
Answer:
B) 60.21 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle = 1/2bh
You can‘t used mixed measurements (feet and inches), so you have to convert each length to inches
8’6”=102’
14’2”=170’
Now find the area
1/2 x 102 x 170 = 8670 in²
This is one of the answers, but the quetion asks how many quart feet you need.
So, convert it back to feet.
8670 x 0.06944444444 = 60.2083333
(You could also have converted the two lengths to feet. 8’6” = 8.5 ft. 14’2” = 14.16666666. This way would probably have been faster.
1/2 x 8.5 x 14.166666 = 60.20833333)
