Answer:
its c 2b(12 - 17a)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A 5.5% = 5400 B 5% = 1800
Step-by-step explanation:
A + B = 7200
A * 0.055 + B * 0.05 = $387
A = 7200 - B
(7200 - B)*0.055 + B*0.05 = 387
396 - 0.055B + 0.05B = 387
396 - 0.005B = 387
0.005B = 9
B = 1800
A = 7200 - B = 7200 - 1800
A = 5400
Initial length = 72 cm
Stretched length = 90 cm
Find the increased in length:
increase = 90 - 72 = 18
Find the percentage increase:
Percentage increase = change/original x 100
Percentage increase = 18/72 x 100 = 25%
Answer: The elastic band's length is increased by 25%
I may be wrong, but it seems as if it's fully simplified...
