Last year, the owner of The Hamburger Hut decided to do some remodeling. Some of the furniture was old and needed to be replaced . Seventeen new booths were bought at a cost of $389.85 each. What was the total amount spent on new booths?

"standard form:

3x2 + 14x − 10 = 0

solutions based on quadratic formula:

x1   = −14 − √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 − 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ −5.296

x2   = −14 + √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 + 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ 0.629

divide the numbers
