Juanita and Samuel are planning a pizza party. They order a rectangle sheet pizza that measures 21 inches by 36 inches.?They tel

l the pizza maker not to cut it because they want to cut it themselves. All pieces of pizza must be square with none left over. What is the side length of the largest square pieces into which Juanita and Samuel can cut the pizza? How many pieces of this size can be cut?

First, find the total area of pizza. The area of a rectangle is length times width. 

Area = 21 x 36 = 756 sq. inches

Now, we must divide the total area with the largest square possible without any excess. So, we equate the area of the pizza to area of square:

A = s² = 756
s = 6 √21

Hence, the largest piece square possible has a side of 6 inches. Then, we divide the total area of the pizza by the area of each square piece to find the number of pieces;

756/6² = 21

Thus, there would be 21 pieces of 6-in square piece of pizza.

What is the final amount if 784 is decreased by 1% followed by a 4% increase?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The final amount  if 784 is decreased by 1% followed by a 4% increase is 807.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

General Formula

<em>A way to solve this problem is as follows</em>:

The general formula for this is taking into account that:

\\ percent\;change = \frac{change}{starting\;point}

The <em>starting point</em> is number 784.

The most important key is the solution for this answer is that:

\\ change = starting\;point - x

Where <em>x</em> is a number that we need to find. Then

\\ percent\;change = \frac{starting\;point - x}{starting\;point} [1]

Is 784 increased or decreased after all?

We also need to evaluate the following: if a quantity decreases a percentage, and then increases in another percentage, what is the final percentage? In this case, we have first that 784 decreases by 1% and then increases by 4%. As a result 784 will +4% - 1% = +3%, that is, 784 will increase in 3%.

Finding the result

If 784 increases by 3%, we have:

\\ 3\% = \frac{784 - x}{784}

Which is equal to

\\ 0.03 = \frac{784 - x}{784}

Solving for <em>x</em>, we first multiply by 784 to both sides of the previous formula:

\\ 0.03 * 784 = \frac{784 - x}{784}*784

\\ 0.03 * 784 = (784 - x)*\frac{784}{784}

\\ 0.03 * 784 = (784 - x)*1

\\ 0.03 * 784 = (784 - x)

Remember that if we add, subtract, multiply, divide... to both sides of the equation, we do not "alter" this equation.

Subtracting 784 to both sides:

\\ (0.03 * 784) - 784 = (784 - 784 - x)

\\ (0.03 * 784) - 784 = (0 - x)

\\ (0.03 * 784) - 784 = - x

\\ 23.52 - 784 = - x

\\ -760.48 = - x

Multiplying by -1 to both sides:

\\ -1 * (-760.48) = -1 * (-x)

We have to remember that:

\\ +*+ = +; - * - = +; - * + = -; + * - = -

\\ 760.48 = x

Then

\\ x = 760.48

Therefore, using formula [1], an increase of 3% is

\\ 3\% = \frac{784 - 760.48}{784}

\\ change = 784 - 760.48

\\ change = 23.52

Since an increase of 3% is 23.52, we have to add this to the starting point 784, and finally the amount is 784 + 23.52 = 807.52.

As a result, the final amount if 784 is decreased by 1% followed by a 4% increase is 807.52.  

In a more <em>terse way</em> of solving this problem, we can say that:

Increase of 4% = 784 * 0.04 = 31.36.

Decrease of 1% = 784 * 0.01 = 7.84.

Difference = 31.36 - 7.84 = 23.52.

Then, we need to add this value to 784, and 784 + 23.52 = 807.52 (the same result).

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

1,496 new car buyers

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size n in Simple Random Sampling is given by

\bf n=\frac{z^2p(1-p)}{e^2}

where  

z = 1.645 is the critical value for a 90% confidence level (*)

p= 0.33 is the population proportion.

e = 0.02 is the margin of error

so  

\bf n=\frac{(1.645)^20.33*0.67}{0.02^2}=1,495.76\approx 1,496

<em>(*)</em><em>This is a point z such that the area under the Normal curve N(0,1) inside the interval [-z, z] equals 90% = 0.9</em>

It can be obtained in Excel or OpenOffice Calc with

<em>NORMSINV(0.95)</em>

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that relates the length of a ladder, L, that leans against a wall with distance d from the base of the wall and the height h that the ladder reaches up the wall is L = StartRoot d squared + h squared EndRoot. What height on the wall will a 15-foot ladder reach if it is placed 3.5 feet from the base of a wall?

L = √d² + h²
