The exact number is 8,784 toffees but if you want me to estimate to the nearest tens then it would be 8,780
The width used for the car spaces are taken as a multiples of the width of
the compact car spaces.
Correct response:
- The store owners are incorrect
<h3 /><h3>Methods used to obtain the above response</h3>
Let <em>x</em><em> </em>represent the width of the cars parked compact, and let a·x represent the width of cars parked in full size spaces.
We have;
Initial space occupied = 10·x + 12·(a·x) = x·(10 + 12·a)
New space design = 16·x + 9×(a·x) = x·(16 + 9·a)
When the dimensions of the initial and new arrangement are equal, we have;
10 + 12·a = 16 + 9·a
12·a - 9·a = 16 - 10 = 6
3·a = 6
a = 6 ÷ 3 = 2
a = 2
Whereby the factor <em>a</em> < 2, such that the width of the full size space is less than twice the width of the compact spaces, by testing, we have;
10 + 12·a < 16 + 9·a
Which gives;
x·(10 + 12·a) < x·(16 + 9·a)
Therefore;
The initial total car park space is less than the space required for 16
compact spaces and 9 full size spaces, therefore; the store owners are
incorrect.

maple syrup = x
corn syrup = 50-x
6x + 0.8(50-x)=2.36*50
6x+40-0.8x=118
5,2x=78
x= 15 gallons of maple syrup
50-15 = 35 gallons of corn syrup
Area = length x width
Area = 3x + 5 Cm x 8 cm
Multiply each term by each term.
Area = 24x + 40 square cm
