Answers

Answer:

$200 dollars my friend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope I helped!

The solution is Option G.

The value of the equation A = ( 2/3 ) x 15% x $ 2000 = $ 200

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

A = ( 2/3 ) x 15% x 2000   be equation (1)

On simplifying the equation , we get

A = ( 2/3 ) x ( 15/100 ) x 2000

A = ( 2/3 ) x ( 15 ) x ( 20 )

On further simplification , we get

A = ( 2/3 ) x 300

A = 2 x 100

A = $ 200

Therefore , the value of A is $ 200

Hence , the equation is A = $ 200

Answer:

the slope is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

m = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the right idea with the rise and run. We have a run of 15 and a rise (or I guess in this case, a decline) of -5. Slope is rise over run:

-5/15 = -1/3

This means we have a slope of -1/3.

Alternatively, we could just the points and put them into the slope formula.

We have the points (0,25) and (15,20). We can substitute those values into the formula:

m = y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂

m = 25 - 20 / 0 - 15

m = 5/-15

m = -1/3

Works all the same.

Casi drove 135 miles in 3 hours. Use a proportion to find how long it would take her to drive 360 miles at the same speed.

Answers

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Casi traveled distance in 3 hours=135 miles

We have to find the time taken by Casi to drive 360 miles at the same speed using proportion .

Let time taken by Casi to drive 360 miles=x

We know that

Speed=[tex]\frac{Distance}{time}[/tex]

Using proportion

[tex]\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{135}{3}=\frac{36}{x}[/tex]

8. Oscar charges $25 for the first hour of tutoring and $15 for each additional hour or fraction of an hour. The rates that Latoya charges for x hours of tutoring are modeled with the function shown. 30x, 06. Who will charge more to tutor for 5.5 hours, Oscar or Latoya? How much more?​

Answers

Answer:

a.  Oscar charges more to tutor for 5.5 hours than Latoya.

b. Oscar charges more by a difference of $1.00 for tutoring 5.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charges by Oscar:

1st hour of tutoring = $25

Additional hour or fraction = $15

For tutoring for 5.5 hours, Oscar charges:

1st hour of tutoring = $25

4.5 hours of additional tutoring = $75 ($15 * 5)

Total charges = $100

Charges by Latoya:

= 30x, 0.6, where x = hours of tutoring

Total charges = 30 * 5.5 * 0.6 = $99

Therefore, Oscar charges more for tutoring 5.5 hours than Latoya by $1 ($100 - $99).

The sum of two numbers is 51 and the greater number is twice the smaller number. Find the numbers. a) set up the variables Let _______ represent the first number Then _______ will represent the second number. b) What is the equation that represents the above situation? c) Solve the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) set up the variables

Let x represent the first number Then  y will represent the second number.

b) What is the equation that represents the above situation?

x = 2yx + y = 51

c) Solve the equation.

Substitute x in the second equation and solve for y:

x + y = 512y + y = 513y = 51y = 51/3y = 17

Then find x

x = 2y = 2*17 = 34

Answer:

Jane spends about 1/6 of the day sleeping. How many hours in a day does Jane sleep? How many hours in a week?

Answers

Answer:

Jane spend 4 hours in a day sleeping, and 28 hours in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 day, there are 24 hours. 24 multiplied by 1/6 is 4. I know this because 24 x 1/6 = 24/1 x 1/6 = 24/6 = 4/1 = 4.

In 1 week, there are 168 hours. 1/6 multiplied by 168 is 28. I know this because 168 x 1/6 = 168/1 x 1/6 = 168/6 = 28/1 = 28

What is the percentage?

A percentage is a value per hundredth. Percentages can be converted into decimals and fractions by dividing the percentage value by a hundred.

Given, Marcus looked out into the audience and saw 40% of the chairs were filled and 42 people are sitting in the chairs.

Let, 'x' be the total number of chairs.

Therefore, 40% of 'x' is 42 which can be numerically expressed as,

(40/100)×x = 42.

0.4x = 42.

x = 42/0.4.

x = 105.
