Suppose the original price to be x.
62%x=296.4
Divide both sides by 62% to get x=478, which is the original price.

Answer:

Rounded: $478.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable x = original price

62/100 = 296.40/x

Cross multiply

62 × x = 100 × 296.40

62x = 29,640

Divide both sides by 62:

x = 478.064516....

Round to nearest cent (hundredths place):

x = 478.06

Check your work (using the rounded estimate will be close to $296.40 but not exact because it is rounded; once you round your answer and it should match):

478.06 × 62%

Convert the percentage into a decimal:

478.06 × 0.62

296.3972

Round to the nearest cent (hundredths place):

296.40

A family wants to build a rectangular garden on one side of a barn. If 600 feet of fencing is available to use, then what is the
vovangra [49]

Answer: (A) A=300l-l^{2}

               (B) Length varies between 1 and 150

               (C) Largest area is 22500ft²

Step-by-step explanation: Suppose length is l and width is w.

The rectangular garden has perimeter of 600ft, which is mathematically represented as

2l+2w=600

Area of a rectangle is calculated as

A=lw

Now, we have a system of equations:

2l+2w=600

A=lw

Isolate w, so we have l:

2w=600-2l

w = 300 - l

Substitute in the area equation:

A = l(300 - l)

A = 300l - l²

(A) <u>Function of area in terms of length is given by </u><u>A = 300l - l²</u>

(B) The practical domain for this function is values between 1 and 150.

(C) For the largest area, we need to determine the largest garden possible. For that, we take first derivative of the function:

A' = 300 - 2l

Find the values of l when A'=0:

300 - 2l = 0

2l = 300

l = 150

Replace l in the equation:

w = 300 - 150

w = 150

Now, calculate the largest area:

A = 150*150

A = 22500

<u>The largest area the fence can enclose is </u><u>22500ft².</u>
