Last year, 120 students were sick at school. This year, 20% fewer students are sick. How many students are sick this year?

1 answer:

3 0

First find how many students are sick the second year:
0.20 × 120 = 24
Then all you need to do is subtract:
120 - 24 = 96
So the number of students that got sick this year is:
96 students

Juan wishes to build a garden at the bottom of his property. He wants to split it in two, like the diagram below, so he can plan

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

20 ft by 60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

"What should the dimensions of the garden be to maximize this area?"

If y is the length of the garden, parallel to the stream, and x is the width of the garden, then the amount of fencing is:

120 = 3x + y

And the area is:

A = xy

Use substitution:

A = x (120 − 3x)

A = -3x² + 120x

This is a downward facing parabola. The maximum is at the vertex, which we can find using x = -b/(2a).

x = -120 / (2 · -3)

x = 20

When x = 20, y = 60. So the garden should be 20 ft by 60 ft.
