Ms. Benson is making a jewelry box using 2 identical squares of wood and 4 identical rectangular pieces of wood, as shown below. What is the surface area of the jewelry box in square inches (sq. in)?

Length of rectangles = 7 in.

Breadth of 4 rectangles = 3 x 4

                                          = 12 in.

Side of squares = 3 in.

Area of 4 rectangles = length x breadth

                                    = 7 x 12

                              = 84 sq. in.

Area of two squares = 2(side x side)

                                  = 2(3 x 3)

                                  = 18 sq. in.

Therefore, Surface area of the Jewellery box = 84 sq. in. + 18 sq. in.

                                                                              = 102 sq. in.

answer:   expression= p+p*d%

price reduction + sale price = $625

sale price: $p+$p*d%

where d% is the percentage of discount

step-by-step explanation:

original price = p

price went down by $150 price reduction $p*d%

sale price= $ 475

therefore the price before sale is: $625

and the expression that shows the price before sale is: p+p*d%
