A contractor bought 6.4 ft2 of sheet metal. He has used 2.1 ft2 so far and has $77.40 worth of sheet metal remaining. The equation 6.4x - 2.1x = 77.4 represents how much sheet metal is
remaining and the cost of the remaining amount. How much does sheet metal cost per square
foot?

$18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

6.4x - 2.1x = 77.4

Where,

x = cost of sheet metal per square foot

How much does sheet metal cost per square foot?

6.4x - 2.1x = 77.4

4.3x = 77.4

Divide both sides by 4.3

x = 77.4 / 4.3

= 18

x = $18

Sheet metal per square foot cost $18

yes

step-by-step explanation:

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
