<h3>Answer: a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)</h3>

The order of the factors does not matter.

So (a-b)(a+b) is the same as (a+b)(a-b)

This is known as the difference of squares factoring rule.

You can FOIL out (a-b)(a+b) and you'd get a^2+ab-ab-b^2. Note how the ab terms cancel leaving us with a^2-b^2. This confirms we have the correct factorization.

You have been averaging 55 sales per day. Per our new policy, everyone needs to increase his or her sales per day by 10% in the

Mariulka [41]

To find your new number of sales per month, you will need to find the number of sales you have per month (based on 30 days per month).

55 x 20 = 1650 sales.

Than, you will need to calculate what 10% of this is and add it to your original sales number.

0.1 (10%) x 1650 = 165

1650 + 165 = 1815

You will need approximately 1815 sales based on the 30 day month.
