Answer:
C) 99 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
you can divide this shape by drawing a horizontal line to create a 4x12" rectangle and a trapezoid with a height of (10-4) in and bases of 12 and 5"
area of rectangle: 12 x 4 = 48
area of trapezoid: 1/2(6)(12+5) = 3(17) = 51
total area = 48 + 51
total area = 99 in²
You divide the area by the base because A = bh, so you would use the algebraic expression (A/B)=H
The practice of tacking 9/10 of a cent on the end of a gas price goes back to when gas cost only pennies per gallon and was a tax imposed by state and federal governments. Gas stations added the fraction of a cent on the end of the price instead of rounding up the price.
Answer: After washing 20 cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of cars that each each teams will wash for them to raise the same amount in total.
The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. This means that the total amount raised by the volleyball team after washing x cars would be
4x + 24
The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. This means that the total amount raised by the wrestling team after washing x cars would be
x + 84
For both amounts to be equal, the number of cars would be
4x + 24 = x + 84
4x - x = 84 - 24
3x = 60
x = 60/3
x = 20
