\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The first one is :
\n" ); document.write( "\"A Glass mirror is selling mirrors with frames. The store charges 10 cents for each square inch of mirror and 25 cents for each linear inch of frame.
\n" ); document.write( "A. Show that a 20 inch by 30 inch mirror should cost 85 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "(I tried solving this by multiplying the money by the inches, and by finding the area and stuff but either it equals more or less.)
\n" ); document.write( "B. If there was a mirror that measures 40 inches on one side, what would the other measurement be if the price were still 85 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "C. Write an equation that determines the price (p) given length (l) and width (W)

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you could just do A and B that would be great because then i could figure out c and D since u will show me the work and how u did it so I know....Thank You soooo much~!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(A) Cost = .10*Area + .25* Perimeter
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If l=30,,& w=20,,,,Area = L*W,,,,Per = 2L + 2W
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "cost = .10(30*20) +.25( 2*30+2*20)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Cost = .10(600) + .25(100)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Cost = 60 + 25 = $ 85
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(B) Let L=40,,,,find W
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Cost = .1A + .25P = .1(40*W) + .25( 2*40+2*W)= 4W + 20 + .5W = 4.5 W +20
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If Cost is $ 85,,85=4.5W +20,,,,65 = 4.5 W,,,,W= 14.444 in.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(C),,,, Cost = .1Area + .25Per
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "C= .1(L*W) + .25(2L+2W)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "C= .1LW + .5L +.5W
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(D) C-.5W = L (.1W +.5)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(C-.5W) / (.1W +.5) = L,,,,,,checking with original(20*30=$85),,,ok\r
