1)
36/3 x 42/3 = 12yd x 14yd
12×14=168
you will need 168 square yards to recarpet the kindergarten.
2)
168×24.99=4198.32
it will cost $4198.32 to recarpet the kindergarten.
3)
3.5 is 35% of 10
4198.32÷3.5=1198.52
they will need to sell 1199 coupon books to completely pay for the the recarpeting.
The formula for the area of a triangle of base b and altitude h is A = (1/2)(b)(h).
Here, b = 18 cm and h = 9 cm. Thus, the desired area is:
(18 cm)(9 cm)
A = ----------------------- = 81 cm^2
2
This problem gives you more info than is needed to solve it. The area of the given triangle is 81 cm^2.
Answer:
Adults = x
Students = y = x + 40. 40 more student than adult
Adult = $8, Student = $6
Total for Adults = 8*x = 8x
Total for students = 6*y = 6y
Total = $1920
8x + 6y = 1920
Hence system of equations are:
y = x + 40
8x + 6y = 1920
