A12 foot metal alloy bar weighs 114 pounds. what
is the weight in pounds of a bar made out of the
same alloy, with the same width and height, that is
3 feet 8 inches long?

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18

the answer is option a you would get more money.it would be $250.

step-by-step explanation:

for option b 200/2=100=50% 100/2=50=25% 50/5=10=5% it would be $220

i think the answer is b. i hope i !
