Given:
Total tips = $ 77.40
Ratio of tips sharing = 2 : 3 : 4
To find:
How much more does Brian get over Paul
Solution:
Let 2x, 3x and 4x be the cost of tips got by Paul, Colin and Brian.
Total cost of tips =$ 77.40
2x + 3x + 4x = 77.40
9x = 77.40
Divide by 9 on both sides.
x = 8.6
Brian gets = 4(8.6) = $34.4
Paul gets = 2(8.6) = $17.2
Difference = 34.4 - 17.2
= 17.2
Therefore Brian gets $17.2 more than Paul.
The answer is:
1017.88 square feet are blue.
<h2>Why?</h2>To calculate how many square feet are blue, we need to calculate the area of the bottom of the circular swimming pool.
We need to remember that we can calculate the area of any circle using the following formula:
Now, we know that the diameter of the bottom is equal to 36 feet, so, we can calculate the radius of the bottom using the following formula:
So,
Then, calculating the area we have:
Hence, we have that 1017.88 square feet are blue.
Have a nice day!
