The ratio of the corresponding linear measures of two similar cans of fruit is 4 to 7. the smaller can has a surface area of 220 square centimeters. find the surface area of the larger can. write your answer as a decimal or mixed number.

Using the concept of a ratio and proportion to solve the problem. Then the surface area of the larger can is 673.75 square cm.

A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

Given

The ratio of the corresponding linear measures of two similar cans of fruit is 4 to 7.

The smaller can has a surface area of 220 square centimeters.

Let x be the larger can and y be the smaller can. Then

Then the ratio of their area is given by

Thus, the surface area of the larger can is 673.75 square cm.

$2416.6

step-by-step explanation:

per hour = $ 25

total work time = 35

commission = 15%

total she has to make = $ 4,500

let she sold x dollar products

so her commission will be 15 % of x

now

total = weekly basic pay + commission

4500= (25*35) + 15 % of x

4500=875 + * x

4500-875 =   * x

3625= * x

multiplying wwith 100 on both sides gives

36250 = 15 x

now

x =  

x= $2416.6
