The length of the rectangular tennis court at Wimbledon is 6 feet longer than twice the width. If the court's perimeter is 228 feet, what are the court's dimensions?
Things did not go quite as planned. You invested \(\$ 12,000\), part of it in stock that paid \(14 \%\) annual interest. However, the rest of the money suffered a \(6 \%\) loss. If the total annual income from both investments was \(\$ 680,\) how much was invested at each rate?
A rectangular swimming pool is 12 meters long and 8 meters wide. A tile border of uniform width is to be built around the pool using 120 square meters of tile. The tile is from a discontinued stock (so no additional materials are available) and all 120 square meters are to be used. How wide should the border be? Round to the nearest tenth of a meter. If zoning laws require at least a 2 -meter-wide border around the pool, can this be done with the available tile?
You invested \(\$ 11.000\) in two accounts paying \(5 \%\) and \(8 \%\) annual interest. If the total interest earned for the year was \(\$ 730,\) how much was invested at each rate?
