The number of DVD's sold at Fry's Electronics in a month was 920 and the number of DVD's sold decreased by 12 per month. The num

ber of Blu-ray discs sold at Fry's Electronics in the same month was 502 and the number of Blu-ray discs sold increased by 26 per month. Write a system of equations to model th situation. If this trend continues, in how many months will the number of DVD's sold each month equal the number of Blu-ray discs sold each month? How many each disc is sold in that month?

Answer:

a) 11 months

b) 788 discs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent number of months = x

For DVD's

The number of DVD's sold at Fry's Electronics in a month was 920 and the number of DVD's sold decreased by 12 per month.

Hence:

920 - 12x

For Blu ray

The number of Blu-ray discs sold at Fry's Electronics in the same month was 502 and the number of Blu-ray discs sold increased by 26 per month.

502 + 26x

Write a system of equations to model th situation.

a).If this trend continues, in how many months will the number of DVD's sold each month equal the number of Blu-ray discs sold each month?

To solve this:

DVD's = Blu-ray

920 - 12x = 502 + 26x

Collect like terms

920 - 502 = 26x + 12x

418 = 38x

x = 418/38

x = 11 months

b) How many each disc is sold in that month?

For DVD's

920 - 12x

x = 11

Hence:

920 - 12 × 11

= 920 - 132

= 788 discs

For Blu ray

= 502 + 26x

x = 11

Hence:

= 502 + 26x

= 502 + 26 × 11

= 788 discs

Therefore, 788 discs were sold in each month

A decorative window is made up of a rectangle with semicircles at either end. The ratio of AD to AB is 3:2 and AB is 30 inches.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer: The required ratio will be

$84:1034$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of AD to AB is 3:2

Length of AB = 30 inches

So, it becomes

$2x=30\\\\x=\frac{30}{2}=15\ inches$

So, Length of AD becomes

$3x=3\times 15=45\ inches$

Now, at either end , there is a semicircle.

Radius of semicircle along AB is given by

$\frac{30}{2}=15\ inches$

So, Area of semicircle along AB and CD is given by

$2\times \frac{\pi r^2}{2}\\\\=\frac{22}{7}\times 15\times 15\\\\=\frac{4950}{7}\ in^2$

Radius of semicircle along AD is given by

$\frac{45}{2}=22.5\ inches$

Area of semicircle along AD and BC is given by

$2\times \frac{1}{2}\pi r^2\\\\=\frac{22}{7}\times \frac{45}{2}\times \frac{45}{2}\\\\=\frac{445500}{28}\ in^2$

And the combined area of the semicircles is given by

$\frac{4950}{7}+\frac{445500}{28}\\\\=\frac{465300}{28}\ in^2$

Area of rectangle is given by

$Length\times width\\\\=AD\times AB\\\\=45\times 30\\\\=1350\ in^2$

Hence, Ratio of the area of the rectangle to the combined area of the semicircles is given by

$1350:\frac{465300}{28}\\\\=1350\times 28:465300\\\\=37800:465300\\\\=84:1034$

Hence, the required ratio will be

$84:1034$
