Answer:

ANSWER: Increase each dimension by 2 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

L=length; W=width; X=amount of increase; A=area

.

(L+X)(W+X)=2(LW)

(6m+X)(4m+X)=2(6m)(4m)

X^2+10X+24=48

X^2+10X-24=0

(X-2)(X+12)=0

(X-2=0) OR (X+12=0)

X=2 OR X=-12

X=2 meters

Mary would like to save $10 000 at the end of 5 years for a future down payment on a car
suter [353]

Answer:

a) $161.8

b i) Approximately 327.7 hours

ii) The cost of saving is less but the opportunity cost of saving can be higher with regards to technology and regulation

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount Mary would like to save, FV = $10,000

The time Mary over which Mary intends to save the amount, t = 5 years

Therefore, the number of monthly payments, n = 12

a) The amount in interest the bank pays compounding, i = 1.2% per annum

The amount that Mary will deposit each month is given as follows;

The compound interest formula is given as follows;

PMT = \dfrac{FV}{\left (\dfrac{ \left (1 + \dfrac{i}{12}  \right )^n - 1}{ \dfrac{i}{12}} \right)}

Where;

PMT = The monthly payment

Therefore, we get;

PMT = \dfrac{10,000}{\left (\dfrac{ \left (1 + \dfrac{0.012}{12}  \right )^{60} - 1}{ \dfrac{0.012}{12}} \right)} \approx 161.8

PMT = 10,000/((1 + 0.012/12)^(60) - 1)/(0.012/12)) ≈ 161.8

The amount she needs to deposit monthly, PMT ≈ $161.8

b i) Given that the minimum wage varies and we have a minimum wage here is officially approximately $79, which is 160 hours a month work

The number of hours work needed = 161.8/79 × 160 ≈ 327.7 hours a month approximately

b ii) Given that the interest rate for saving is lower than the interest rate for borrowing, the amount paid by saving is much lesser than the amount paid back when borrowing, therefore, it is more cost effective to save

However, while saving, changes may take place, such as the use of what is being saved for, therefore, it can be more beneficial to borrow and make use of the items now while they are still available and acceptable, such as the drive towards net zero is making fuel based cars less popular with the drive being towards electric cars.

(2.5 • 10^4) - (1.5 • 10^3)<br><br> Evaluate please, can you show the steps
Usimov [2.4K]


According to PEMDAS, you would look in the parenthesis first. In the first set of parenthesis we have an exponent. 10x10x10x10 is 10,000. Then we multiply this by 2.5. We now have 25,000. We put this to the side..


Next, we do the same thing on the other side -- 10x10x10 is 1,000 and then you multiply that answer by 1.5 and we have 1,500. Now we can subtract. 25,000 - 1500 = 23,500 :)

Koalas absorb only 25% of the fiber they eat. A koala absorbed 10.5 ounces of fiber in one day. How many ounces of fiber did he
sweet [91]

\huge{\boxed{\text{42 ounces}}}

25% is equal to \frac{1}{4}, so multiplying it by 4 gets 100%.  This means we can multiply 10.5 by 4 to get 100% of the fiber the koala ate that day.

10.5*4=\boxed{42}
