Answer:
x > 367
Step-by-step explanation:
set x = # of DVDs they sold
Each DVD costs $15 so the total amount they made is 15x
Since they raised more than $5500
15x > 5500
Divide both sides by 15 to solve the inequality and you get
x > 366.67 and since you can't sell 0.67 of a DVD, round up to get
x > 367 which means that they sold more than 367 DVDs
Answer:
= 124 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle is
P = 2(l+w)
We know the length is 13 and the width is 49
P = 2(13+49)
=2(62)
= 124 ft
First, let's see if we can rewrite this word problem a little bit more mathematically. We won't get to mathy or technical so no worries. We just want to look at it in a more straightforward way, if we can.
Train A's mph plus Train B's mph summed equal 723.5 mph. Train A's mph is greater than Train B's mph by 12.5 mph.
So what should we do to solve this problem? Since we are dealing with two of something and we know the value of the two combined, it might make sense to start by dividing that value by 2.
723.5 / 2 = <em /> 361.75. If the two trains were travelling at the same speed, we would be done. Unfortunately, they are not so we need to think about this some more.
Train A is going 12.5 mph faster than Train B. Let's rewrite.
Train A mph = 12.5 + 361.75 = 374.25 Okay, so Train A is travelling at a speed of 374.25 mph. So we're done right? Not exactly. We are asked to fing the speeds of BOTH trains. How do we find the speed of Train B? We have added a portion of the combined total to Train A. It seems to follow, then, we should probably subtract the same portion from Train A. What are we going to do? You guessed it! Rewrite.
Train B mph = 361.75 - 12.5 = 349.25 HA HA! We seem to have figured it out. Let's do one last thing to check our work. Let's add the two trains' speeds together. If we did this right, we should get our summed value of 723.5 mph
374.25 + 349.25 = 723.5
Pat yourself on the back! We did it!
374.25 + 349.25 =
