D $837,000 because your dealing with a negative number. -$453 - 384 = 744 because your still going down in the negatives.<span />
Exponent form is 10^2 square ft and word form is one hundred square feet
Let
L---------> the length side of the box
W--------> the width side of the box
H-------> the height of the box
we know that
the surface area of the box is equal to
<u>Find the area of the base</u>
<u>Find the perimeter of the base</u>
<u>Find the surface area</u>
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the total area of the box that will be covered in gift wrap is 
Let C be the amount of compost
T be the amount of topsoil
Each compost cost = $25
Cost of C compost = 25C
Each topsoil cost = $15
Cost of T topsoil = 15T
Amount of compost + amount of topsoil = 10
C + T = 10 -------> Equation 1
cost of C compost + cost of T topsoil = 180
25C + 15T = 180 --------> equation 2
Solve the first equation for C
C + T = 10
C = 10 - T
Now plug it in second equation
25C + 15T = 180
25 ( 10 - T) +15T = 180
250 - 25T + 15T = 180 (combine like terms)
250 - 10 T = 180 (Subtract 250 on both sides)
-10T = 180 - 250
-10T = -70 ( divide by -10 on both sides)
T = 7
She purchased 7 cubic yards of topsoil .
