Mick recently had new carpet installed. the cost of the carpet including installation was $8.14 per square foot before any discounts. the rectangular room he had carpeted measured 24 feet long and 18 feet wide. if mick actually paid $3,235.16, what discount percentage did he receive? assume there are no taxes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s first determine the cost before any discount.

To do so, we first need to determine the area to be carpeted:

Area of Rectangle = Length × Width = 24 ft × 18 ft = 432 square feet.

To find the cost before discount we need to multiply the area by the cost per square foot:

Cost Before Discount = Area × Cost per square foot

Cost Before Discount = 432 square feet × $8.14 per square foot

Cost Before Discount = $3,516.48

We can now determine the discount percentage he received:

Cost After Discount = Cost Before Discount − (Discount % × Cost Before Disc.)

$3,235.16 = $3,516.48 – (Discount % × $3,516.48)

To solve, it is easiest to plug in each answer to see which discount percentage is the correct solution (i.e. “work backwards” from the given answers) or use the equation solver on our calculator.

We find that a discount of 8% is the correct solution.

If you instead prefer to use algebra to solve for the discount percentage, here are the steps.

We will rewrite the equation, using x to represent “Discount %”.

$3,235.16 = $3,516.48 − (x × $3,516.48)

$3,235.16 = $3,516.48 − $3,516.48x

Factoring out $3,516.48 we have:

$3,235.16 = $3,516.48(1 − x)

Note: Once you get comfortable with this type of problem you should skip straight to the step above.

Dividing both sides by $3,516.48 we have:

$3,235.16$3,516.48=1−x

0.92 = 1 − x

x = 0.08 = 8%

The length of a rectangular poster is 9 more inches than two times its width. The area of the poster is 161 square inches. Solve for the dimensions (length and width) of the poster.

Answers

Answer:

Width = 7 inches

Length = 23 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

length = 2x + 9width = x

Equating to area :

(2x + 9)(x) = 1612x² + 9x = 1612x² + 9x - 161 = 02x² - 14x + 23x - 161 = 02x(x - 7) + 23(x - 7) = 0x - 7 = 0x = 7

Dimensions are :

Width = 7 inchesLength = 2(7) + 9Length = 23 inches

Answer:

Length: 23 inches

Width: 7 inches

Explanation:

Width: wLength: 2w + 9Area of rectangle: Length × Width(2w + 9) × (w) = 1612w² + 9w - 161 = 02w² + 23w - 14w -161 = 0w(2w + 23) -7(2w +23) = 0w = 7, -11.5

As length measure cannot be negative. Width is +7 inches

The linear equation is 3x + 5y = 75. Then the value of A, B, and C will be 3, 5, and 75 respectively.

What is the linear system?

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

The equation of a line is given as

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the constant.

Then we have

y = (-3/5)x + c

The line is passing through (25, 0). Then we have

25 = c

Then we have

y = (-3/5)x + 25

On simplifying, we have

5y = -3x + 75

3x + 5y = 75

Then the value of A, B, and C will be 3, 5, and 75 respectively.

Answer:

36 x⁸y⁶

 √2/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor 1296 into its prime factors

           1296 = 24 • 34 

To simplify a square root, we extract factors which are squares, i.e., factors that are raised to an even exponent.

Factors which will be extracted are :

           1296 = 24 • 34 

No factors remain inside the root !!

To complete this part of the simplification we take the squre root of the factors which are to be extracted. We do this by dividing their exponents by 2 :

           36 = 22 • 32 

At the end of this step the partly simplified SQRT looks like this:

         36 √(x¹⁶y¹²)

STEP2:Simplify the Variable part of the SQRT

Rules for simplifing variables which may be raised to a power:

   (1) variables with no exponent stay inside the radical

(2) variables raised to power 1 or (-1) stay inside the radical

   (3) variables raised to an even exponent: Half the exponent taken out, nothing remains inside the radical. examples:

      √(x⁸)=x⁴

     √(x^-6)=x^-3

 

 Applying these rules to our case we find out that

      SQRT(x¹⁶y¹²) = x⁸y⁶

Combine both simplifications

      sqrt (1296x¹⁶y¹²) =  36 x⁸y⁶

Simplified Root : 36 x⁸y⁶

Consider an isosceles trapezoid rotated about an axis of symmetry that passes through the midpoint of the bases. the minor base of the trapezoid is 10 cm and the major base is 13 cm. what is the perimeter of the horizontal cross section if the cut is made at the middle of the height of the trapezoid?

Answers

Based on the calculation, the perimeter of the horizontal cross-section is equal to 36.13 cm.

How to calculate the perimeter?

In this scenario, the resulting geometrical shape formed when the cut is made at the middle of the height of the trapezoid and then rotated is a circle.

Given the following data:

Minor base = 10 cm.Major base = 13 cm.

From the middle, the diameter of this circle is given by:

D = 1/2 (10 + 13)

D = 11.5 cm.

Now, we can calculate the perimeter:

Perimeter = πD

Perimeter = 3.142 × 11.5

Perimeter = 36.13 cm.

Rewrite as:

Split the fraction

[tex]1 + \frac{\tan^2(A) + 1}{\tan(A)} =1 + \sec(A)\csc(A)[/tex]

Express [tex]\tan^2(A) + 1[/tex] as [tex]\sec^2(A)[/tex]

Both sides of the equation are the same.

B. Grace's wage is $35 an hour, but it appears that she received no

signing bonus.

C. Grace's wage is $45 an hour, and it appears that she received a

signing bonus of $35.

D. Grace's wage is $45 an hour, but it appears that she received no

signing bonus.

Step-by-step explanation:

if x is the amount of hours worked, 45 is the slope and the y intercept is 35.

A linear equation has the form of y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept, then the equation that we have is:

y = 45*x + 35

this means that she wins $45 per hour, and has a plane amount of $35, indiferent of the amount of hours worked.

Then the correct answer is
