A = L * W........x = W
L = 2x + 3
A = 119

119 = x(2x + 3)
119 = 2x^2 + 3x
2x^2 + 3x - 119 = 0
(2x + 17)(x - 7) = 0

2x + 17 = 0
2x = -17
x = - 17/2 or - 8.5....wont work because it is negative

x - 7 = 0           L = 2x + 3
x = 7                L = 2(7) + 3
                        L = 14 + 3
                        L = 17

so the width (x) = 7 inches and the length (L) = 17 inches...
the equation used was : 119 = x(2x + 3)...or 2x^2 + 3x - 119 = 0...not sure which equation they want...but they are the same

Answer:If she buys 60 tiles, the cost at both shops is the same.

If she buys less than 60 tiles, then the second shop is cheaper.

If she buys more than 60 tiles, then the first shop is cheaper.

Kabul’s bookshop marks up all books by 40 percent of their cost. The overhead rate is 16 percent of the selling price. What is t
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The net profit rate on the book is 5.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The marks up percentage of book = m = 40%

The overhead rate is 16% of selling price

The cost price of book = c.p = $18.10

Let The profit = $p

Let The selling price = s.p

<u>Now, According to question</u>

mark up percentage = \dfrac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}

I.e 40% =  \dfrac{s.p - 18.10}{18.10}

Or, \dfrac{40}{100} + 1 = \dfrac{s.p}{18.10}

Or, \dfrac{140}{100} =  \dfrac{s.p}{18.10}

Or, s. p = \dfrac{140\times 18.10}{100}

∴ s.p = $25.34

So, selling price of book = s.p = $25.34

Now, The overhead percentage = 16%

i.e overhead rate = \dfrac{\textrm estimated cost}{\textrm estimated total base unit}

Or, estimated cost = 16% × 25.34

I,e estimated cost = 0.16 × 25.34

∴ estimated cost = $4.05

Now,

Profit = selling price of book - estimated book cost

I.e p = $25.34 - $4.05

∴ p = $21.29

So, The profit rate% = \dfrac{\textrm profit}{\textrm estimated cost}

I.e The profit rate% = \dfrac{21.29}{4.05}

∴ profit rate %= 5.41

So, The profit rate = p = 5.41

Hence, The net profit rate on the book is 5.41  Answer

AveGali [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle equals side 1 plus side 2 plus side 2

           P = s1 + s2 + s3                 side 1 = side 2 =  x

                                                     x/side 3 = 5 / 3

                                                     x  = (5/3) side 3

                                                     x (3/5)  = side 3

                                                 

                                                     perimeter = 65    slove for x

          65  = x + x + 3x/5

         325  = 5x + 5x + 3x

         325  = 13X

          25   = x    equal side 1 and side 2  

          side 3 = 25(3/5)  = 15
