Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: When dealing with fractions in the way they are used in this problem the word "of" (as in "1/32 OF the total sales") means to multiply.

the total sales") means to multiply.

So we can write an equation as:

c

=

r

⋅

s

Where:

c is the commission earned, what we are solving for in this problem.

r  is the commission rate -  1/

32  in this problem

s  is the total sales - $24,000 in this problem.

Substituting and calculating  c  gives:

c

=1/32 x $24,000

c=$24,000/

32

c

=

$

Alistair has a rectangular picture measuring 8 inches by 7 inches. He makes a frame for the picture, shown by the shaded area in
nydimaria [60]
<span>You are given a rectangular picture measuring 8 inches by 7 inches. Also, Alistair wants this to be framed and that the total area is 34 square inches. The width of the frame is x inches. To solve the dimension of the frame with value of x we have:

We have to assume that x here will be equal to all sides of the frame and so, using the area of the rectangle, we can model the equation like this:
A = LW (where A is the area, L is the length and W is the width)
36 = (8 - x)(7 - x)
36 = 56 - 8x - 7x + x</span>²
<span>x</span>² - 15x +20 = 0 → model of our equation and in quadratic form

x² - 15x + 20 = 0
using a calculator, x = 1.48 inches
<span>
3.Use the equation you created in part A to find the width of the picture frame</span>

ioda

Answer:

I am assuming you meant that the old machine made 248 toys in one hour instead of both if that is the case then the answer would be 744.

Steph-by-step explanation:

The new machine makes three times as many as the old machine so 248 times 3 = 744 toys in one hour

an open rectangular cardboard box with a square base is to have a volume of 256cm^3. Find the dimensions of the box if the area
Anit [1.1K]
Let
x------> the length side of the square base of the box
y-------> the height of the box

we know that
volume of the box=b²*h
b=x
h=y
volume=256 cm³
so
256=x²*y------>y=256/x²-------->  equation 1

<span>The amount of material used is directly proportional to the surface area, so we will minimize the amount of material by minimizing the surface area.</span>

surface area of the cardboard=area of the base+perimeter of base*height
area of the base=x²
perimeter of the base=4*x
height=y
surface area=x²+4x*y-----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
SA=x²+4x*[256/x²]-----> SA=x²+1024/x

step 1 
find the first derivative of SA and equate to zero
2x+1024*(-1)/x²=0------> 2x=1024/x²----> x³=512--------> x=8 cm
y=256/x²------> y=256/8²-----> y=4 cm

the answer is
the length side of the square base of the box is 8 cm
the height of the box is 4 cm
