The price of Stock A at 9 A. M. was 13.49$. Since then, the price has been increasing at the rate of 0.12$ each hour. At noon the price of Stock B was 13.99$. It begins to decrease at the rate of 0.13$ each hour. If the two rates continue, in how many hours will the prices of the two stocks be the same?

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

its totaly b

answer: a. 40 sq. units

step-by-step explanation:

pretty simple, since the rectangle is 80 and the triangle is half of it, divide by 2. you'll get 40 afterwards.
