Answer: there were 12 chocolates in each box. (Originally, before any got eaten)
Step-by-step explanation: let x represent the total amount of chocolates in each box.
8x - 3(8) = 72
8x - 24 = 72 add 24 to both sides
8x = 96 divide both sides by 8
X = 12
Let
x------> the length side of the square base of the box
y-------> the height of the box
we know that
volume of the box=b²*h
b=x
h=y
volume=256 cm³
so
256=x²*y------>y=256/x²--------> equation 1
<span>The amount of material used is directly proportional to the surface area, so we will minimize the amount of material by minimizing the surface area.</span>
surface area of the cardboard=area of the base+perimeter of base*height
area of the base=x²
perimeter of the base=4*x
height=y
surface area=x²+4x*y-----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
SA=x²+4x*[256/x²]-----> SA=x²+1024/x
step 1
find the first derivative of SA and equate to zero
2x+1024*(-1)/x²=0------> 2x=1024/x²----> x³=512--------> x=8 cm
y=256/x²------> y=256/8²-----> y=4 cm
the answer is
the length side of the square base of the box is 8 cm
the height of the box is 4 cm
Answer:
The answer to your question is Katie had 15 rocks and Oliver 45 rocks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditions
Katie has x amount of rocks
Oliver has 3x amount of rocks
The final amount of rocks
Oliver = 3x + 75
Katie = x + 105
Now, they have the same amount of rocks, then we can equal both equations
3x + 75 = x + 105
Solve for x
3x - x = 105 - 75
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15
Conclusions
At first Katie had 15 rocks and Oliver had 3(15) = 45 rocks
