Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 36 to 28.80

2. Divide the answer to the first price (36.00)- 7.5 divided by 36.00 or 36

3. When you calculate and find the answer as a decimal, then make it into a percentage

So if... you divide 7.5 divided by 36, you get the decimal of 0.2, and when you move the decimals two places only, you get your answer of 20%.

Hopefully it helped you!. Have a good day :-).

The wading pool shown is a trapezoidal prism with a total volume of 286 cubic feet. What is the missing dimension? First base: 8
harkovskaia [24]
To find the missing dimension you will use the formula for finding the volume of a prism and solve for the missing dimension.  In this case 2ft is how deep the pool is and you will solve for the width of the pool.

V = Bh, where B is the area of the base.  In this case, use the area of a trapezoid formula.

286 = 1/2h(8 +13)2
<u>286</u> = <u>21h</u>
21      21
h = 13.6

The width of the wading pool is approximately 13.6 feet.

Find four numbers that form a geometric progression such that the third term is greater than the first by 12 and the fourth is g
olchik [2.2K]

If x is the first number in the progression, and r is the common ratio between consecutive terms, then the first four terms in the progression are

\{x,xr,xr^2,xr^3\}

We want to have

\begin{cases}xr^2-x=12\\xr^3-xr=36\end{cases}

In the second equation, we have

xr^3-xr=xr(r^2-1)=36

and in the first, we have

xr^2-x=x(r^2-1)=12

Substituting this into the second equation, we find

xr(r^2-1)=12r=36\implies r=3

So now we have

\begin{cases}9x-x=12\\27x-3x=36\end{cases}\implies x=\dfrac32

Then the four numbers are

\left\{\dfrac32,\dfrac92,\dfrac{27}2,\dfrac{81}2\right\}
