marla is hanging a banner diagonally across a rectangular room . the length of the room is 3 feet shorter than its width . if the total area of the room is 130 square feet , what is the length of the banner ( in feet ) ?
to solve this , we first need to set up an equation for the area of the room . if x is the width , then we have x ( x - 3 ) = 130 . by putting the equation in standard form , we get x ^ 2 - 3 x - 130 = 0 . by using the quadratic formula , we get roots of - 10 and 13 . we know that x is the width , and x - 3 is the length , so by using the roots , we get 13 as the width ( x ) , and 10 as the length ( x - 3 ) . once we have this , we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the diagonal . plugging in the length and width , we will get d ^ 2 = 13 ^ 2 + 10 ^ 2 = 169 + 100 = 269 the square root of 269 is less than 17 , since 17 ^ 2 = 289 . going down a number , we can compute 16 ^ 2 = 256 < 269 . therefore , the length of the diagonal must be between 16 and 17 . the correct answer is a .

the number of people who purchased book a is twice the number of people who purchased book b . the number of people who purchased both books a and b is 500 , which is twice the number of people who purchased only book b . what is the number of people b who purchased only book a ?
this is best solved using overlapping sets or a venn diagram . we know that a = 2 b , and that 500 people purchased both a and b . further , those purchasing both was double those purchasing b only . this gives us 250 people purchasing b only . with the 500 that pruchased both , we have a total of 750 that purchased b and this is 1 / 2 of those that purchased a . so , 1500 purchased a . less the 500 that purchased both , b = 1000 purchased a only .

for a certain art exhibit , a museum sold admission tickets to a group of 30 people every 5 minutes from 9 : 00 in the morning to 5 : 55 in the afternoon , inclusive . the price of a regular admission ticket was $ 10 and the price of a student ticket was $ 5 . if on one day 3 times as many regular admission tickets were sold as student tickets , what was the total revenue from ticket sales that day ?

a new tower has just been built at the verbico military hospital ; the number of beds available for patients at the hospital is now 2 times the number available before the new tower was built . currently , 1 / 3 of the hospital ' s original beds , as well as 1 / 5 of the beds in the new tower , are occupied . for the purposes of renovating the hospital ' s original wing , all of the patients in the hospital ' s original beds must be transferred to beds in the new tower . if patients are neither admitted nor discharged during the transfer , what fraction of the beds in the new tower will be unoccupied once the transfer is complete ?
i think e - 7 / 15 is the correct answer . here goes : lets assume originally the number of beds = x after the new tower , the total combined no of beds = 2 x so old = x , new = x now 1 / 3 of x are occupied and 1 / 5 of x are occupied which simplifies to ( 1 / 5 ) x we are shifting 1 / 3 of x to the new ward so there will now be : 1 / 3 of x plus 1 / 5 of x occupied in the new ward . add them up to get 8 / 15 of x there are x beds in new tower so ratio is : ( 8 / 15 ) x / x = 8 / 15 of x subtract that from 15 / 15 of x and you get the number of un - occupied beds to total capacity of new towerb = 7 / 15 . e

if the sum of a number and its square is 342 , what is the number ?
"explanation : let the integer be x . then , x + x 2 = 342 x 2 + x - 342 = 0 ( x + 19 ) ( x – 18 ) = 0 x = 18 answer : e"
