Answer:
160 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The width is 40% of the length, so is ...
0.40 × 20 ft = 8 ft
The area is the product of length and width:
A = LW
A = (20 ft)(8 ft) = 160 ft²
Answer:
2% gain
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the shopkeeper bought the appliances at the indicated prices, and that gain is computed on the basis of that cost price.
Since the base cost is the same for each appliance, the percentages can be added directly to find the percentage gain on 8000. However, the shopkeeper's total outlay was 16000, not 8000, so the final gain percentage is half of that total.
gain percent = (-4% + 8%)/2 = 2%
_____
If you want to see the actual numbers:
Loss on VCR = 4% × 8000 = 320.
Gain on TV = 8% × 8000 = 640.
Total gain on 16000 is -320 +640 = 320. As a percentage, that is ...
320/16000 × 100% = 2%
To solve the problem:
<span>Let f = distance one way distance on level
ground</span>
<span>
Let h = distance rode on the hill</span>
<span>
Write a time equation; where Time = distance/speed:</span>
<span>
level time + uphill time + downhill time + level time = 1hr</span>
<span>
</span>
<span>f/9 + h/6 + h/18 + f/9 = 1 hr</span>
<span>
Multiply equation by 18 to get rid of the denominators</span>
<span>
</span>
2f + 3h + h + 2f = 18
4f + 4h = 18
Simplify by dividing this by 4
<span>f + h = 4.5 miles is took her to get to Jon’s
house.</span>
I don't know. But I know how to find it. Let's work it out together:
<u>5x = 2x + 20</u>
Subtract 2x from each side: 3x = 20
Divide each side by 3 : <em>x = 20/3</em> or ( 6 and 2/3 ).
