Answer:

Each dimension increased by 3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the original rectangle = 4 * 6 = 24 square feet

Increased dimension = x ft

New length = 6 + x

New width = 4 +x

New area = (6 + x)(4 +x)    {Use FOIL method}

                = 6*4 + 6*x + x*4 + x*x

                = 24 + 6x + 4x + x²

                = x² + 10x + 24

New area = 24 + 39

x² + 10x + 24 = 63

x² +10x + 24 - 63 = 0

x² + 10x  - 39 = 0

x² + 13x - 3x  - 3*13 = 0

x (x + 13) - 3(x + 13) = 0

(x + 13)(x -3) = 0   {Ignore x + 13, as it gives negative value}

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

Mr Floyd is laying grass squares in his backyard. He will cover the entire yard except for the vegetable garden. How many square
Alenkasestr [34]

Here we can first find the area of yard and then subtract the area of vegetable garden to get the required area.

The formula to find area is given by:

A = l* w

Now we find area of yard:

length is 25 ft and width is 15 ft.

A = 25 * 15

Area of yard = 375 ft²

Area of vegetable garden:

length = 8ft and width =8ft

So the vegetable garden is a square.

Area = 8*8

Area of vegetable garden =64 ft²

Area of backyard to be laid with grass = Area of yard-Area of vegetable garden

Area required = 375 -64 = 311 ft²

Answer : The area of backyard in which grass is to be laid is 311 square feet.

Tammy bought a nightstand that was marked down 60% from an original price of $50. If she paid 10% sales tax, what was the total
AURORKA [14]

Answer: the total cost of the nightstand is $22

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the night stand is $50. If the original price of the night stand was marked down by 60%, it means that the amount of money by which it was reduced would be

60/100 × 50 = 0.6 × 50 = 30

The new selling price would be

50 - 30 = $20

If she paid 10% sales tax,the amount of tax paid would be

10/100 × 20 = 0.1 × 20 = 2

Therefore, the total cost of the nightstand would be

20 + 2 = $22

A person places $37700 in an investment account earning an annual rate of 5%,
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

8,229,437 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the compound interest formula;

A = P(1+r)^n

Given

Principal invested = $37700

rate r = 5% = 0.05

Time t = 16years

Substitute into the formula

A = 37700(1+0.05)^16

A  = 37700(1.05)^16

A = 37700(2.1829)

A = 82,294.37

Hence the amount of money, to the  nearest cent, in the account after 16 years is 8,229,437 cents
