Value of x is: 
Option B is correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve the equation 
and find value of x.
Using quadratic formula:
Putting values of a, b and c and finding the value of x
a=1, b=-12 and c=59
So, value of x is:
Option B is correct option.
<u>Part a)</u> if a page is reduced to 80%, what percent enlargement is needed to return it to its original size?
Let
x---------> the percent enlargement
we know that
the original size is the 100%
so
x*80%=100%
x=(100%/80%)
x=1.25--------> 1.25=(125/100)=125%
therefore
<u>the answer Part a) is</u>
the percent enlargement is 125%
<u>Part b)</u> Estimate the number of times in succession that a page must be copied to make the final copy less than 15% of the size of the original
we know that
A photocopy machine can reduce copies to 80% of their original size
so
Copy N 1
0.80*100%=80%
Copy N 2
0.80*80%=64%
Copy N 3
0.80*64%=51.2%
Copy N 4
0.80*51.2%=40.96%
Copy N 5
0.80*40.96%=32.77%
Copy N 6
0.80*32.77%=26.21%
Copy N 7
0.80*26.21%=20.97%
Copy N 8
0.80*20.97%=16.78%
Copy N 9
0.80*16.78%=13.42%-------------> 13.42% < 15%
therefore
<u>the answer Part b) is</u>
the number of times in succession is 9
To find cost per ounce divide the total price by the total ounces.
