Ben and Joel are raising money for their class trip by selling wrapping paper. Ben raised $43.50 by selling 12 rolls of solid paper and 9 rolls of printed paper. Joel raised $51.50 by selling 8 rolls of solid paper and 15 rolls of printed paper. Find the cost of each type of wrapping paper. PLEASE HELP QUICK!!

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solid paper costs 1.75 each

Printed paper costs 2.50 each

Given:

Ben = $43.50 (12 rolls solid paper and 9 rolls of printed paper)

Joel = $51.50 (8 rolls solid paper and 15 rolls of printed paper)

Let x = solid paper

Let y = printed paper

12x + 9y = 43.50

 8x + 15y = 51.50

Find x:

8x + 15y = 51.50

8x = 51.50 - 15y

x = (51.50 - 15y)/8

Substitute x:

12x + 9y = 43.50

12(51.50 - 15y)/8 + 9y = 43.50

(618 - 180y)/8 + 9y = 43.50

8 (618 - 180y)/8 + 8*9y = 43.50 * 8

618 - 180y + 72y = 348

-108y = 348 - 618

-108y = -270

-108y/-108 = -270/-108

y = 2.50

x = (51.50 - 15y)/8

x = (51.50 - 15(2.5) /8

x = (51.50 - 37.50)/8

x = 14/8

x = 1.75

To check: x = 1.75 ; y = 2.5

12x + 9y = 43.50

12(1.75) + 9(2.5) = 43.50

21 + 22.50 = 43.50

43.50 = 43.50

8x + 15y = 51.50

8(1.75) + 15(2.5) = 51.50

14 + 37.50 = 51.50

51.50 = 51.50

The area of a rectangular outdoor stage has been extended on one side. The entire new area in square meters can be written as 216+12x. Factor the expression to find the dimensions of the extended stage.
PLZ HELP

Answers

Answer:

Dimension of the extended stage is; length = 6 m and width = 2x m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangular outdoor = length x width

New area = area of the outdoor + area of the extended stage

                = 216 + 12x

                = 6(36 + 2x)

New area = 6 (36 + 2x)

So that;

The dimension of the rectangular outdoor = 36 x 6

i.e length = 36 m and width = 6 m

So that the dimension of the extended stage = length x width

                                     = (6 x 2x) m

i.e length = 6 m and width = 2x m

Hello,

Try to find the area of the brown spots, which filled in as green, would make one big rectangle.

1. Take the whole area of the rectangle (use the area of the brown rectangle around the green, and the area of the brown triangle towards the top left).

The area for the brown rectangle
A = b*h becomes A = 2*3 = 6 ft^2

Area for brown triangle (upper-left) is found by the length of the whole figure shown. The whole length is 12ft at the bottom; at the top, we know 6ft and 2ft. Therefore, the missing measurement there is 12ft - (6ft + 2ft) = 4ft

Area for the triangle (I will include some trigonometry; don’t be afraid to use it!:)
Find the long side of the triangle:
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
which becomes:
3^2 + 4^2 = c^2
9 + 16 = c^2
c^2 = 25
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(25)
c = 5

Next,
I know there are easier formulas and processes for the following, but they will work.
S (semiperimeter)= 1/2(a+b+c)
Counting up the sides of the triangle, then dividing by two will give you your semiperimeter.

Then,
A= sqrt [(S)(S-a)(S-b)(S-c)] = 6
I believe that the S value and a value are the same because that brown triangle made earlier is a 3-4-5 triangle (the sides).

Finally, now that we know the area of the brown rectangle and the brown triangle, we can subtract them from the big rectangle!
1. The big rectangle: A= b*h becomes A = 12*5 = 60 ft^2
2. Take the 60 ft^2 and set up the following:
60 ft^2 - (6ft^2+6ft^2) = 60ft^2 - 12ft^2 = 48ft^2, as the final answer.

Rectangle HYGT has a perimeter of 170 inches. If the length is 10x - 7
and the width is 6x + 12, how wide is the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

The wide of the rectangle = 42 inches

The  length of the rectangle = 43 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the length of the rectangle = 10x-7

Given that the width of the rectangle = 6x +12

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)

Given that the perimeter of the rectangle = 170

Step(ii):-

    2(length + width) = 170

        length + width = 85

        10x-7 +6x +12 =85

          16x +5 = 85

           16x = 85-5 = 80

             x =    [tex]\frac{80}{16}[/tex]

             x = 5

Final answer:-

The  length of the rectangle = 10(5)-7 = 50-7 = 43

The wide of the rectangle = 6x +12 = 6(5) + 12 = 30+12 =42

The perimeter is the sum of its all sides. The rectangle is 42 inches wide.

What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

The perimeter is the sum of its all sides. The perimeter of the rectangle is twice the sum of its length and its width.

[tex]\rm \text{Perimeter of rectanle}=2(Length +Breadth)[/tex]

As it is given to us that the length of the rectangle is (10x-7), while the width of the rectangle is (6x+12). Also, the perimeter of the rectangle is 170 inches. Therefore, using the formula of the perimeter of the rectangle we will get,

[tex]\rm Perimeter=2(Length +Breadth)\\\\170=2[(10x-7)+(6x+12)]\\\\170=2{10x-7+6x+12}\\\\170=2(16x+5)\\\\170=32x+10\\\\32x=160\\\\x=\dfrac{160}{32} = 5[/tex]

Now, substitute the value of x,

The width of the rectangle = 6x + 12 = 6(5)+12 = 30+12 = 42 inches.

Thus, the width of the rectangle is 42 inches.

equation to find original price if sale price of $429 is a 34% discount

Answers

Answer:

The original price is $650

Step-by-step explanation:

There's an actual algebra method for this, but this is my method because I find it way easier to remember.

Since the most you can discount out of an item is 100% (well, it's considered free then) let's subtract 100 - 34, which is 66.

Now, turn it into a decimal because it makes the numbers easier- 0.66.

Since when you're finding the discount of an original price, you multiply the original price by the discount- instead for finding the original price for a discounted item we divide $429 by 0.66 instead, since when you divide a number by another number that's under 1 the quotient is a larger number.

So, 429 ÷ 0.66 = 650.

Therefore, the original price of the $429 sale price for a 34% discount is $650.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage

Joquan's brother earns a  2.5% commission on the amount he sells.

Last week, he sold $9,900 worth of shoes, thus his commission will be calculated as follows:

2.5% of $9,900 = 2.5 *$9,900 / 100 = $247.50

His commission was $247.50

A magazine costs $3 and a book cost $7 if you want to spend exactly $45 on reading this month and you need to buy eight magazines how many books can you buy write an equation in standard form modeling the situation then see how many books you can buy let em represent the number of magazines you buy and B represents the number of books you buy.

Answers

Answer:

m = 8 and b = 3 OR m = 15 and b = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the conditions on this problem could be contradictory (they are likely not, but could be)

let m be the number of magazines bought

let b be the number of books, then

3m is the cost of the magazines bought and

7b is the cost of the books bought, since $45 exactly must be spent then

3m + 7b = 45

Let us assume m = 8 and see what happens

3(8)+7b = 45

24+7b=45

7b=21

b=3, this meets the requirements and results in an integer (whole) number of books, if b had ended up as a fraction, then m=8 would have to be wrong and we would have tried m=9 , then 10, 11, 12, up to 15 if necessary until we got a whole number of books.  Notice that 15 magazines and 0 books also works
