Roger the Shrubber, a recent acquaintance who has considerable expertise in the arrangement, design and sale of shrubberies, has specified 500 feet of picket fencing for this particular design. (Plus, picket fencing is on sale this week at Home Depot in 10 foot lengths in time for the next holiday weekend.) Arthur and his knight decide to maximize the effect of their sacrifice by enclosing the greatest area of a rectangle possible. What is the greatest area possible using this amount of fencing?

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04

step-by-step explanation:

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)
