Giselle works as a carpenter and as a

Mathematics

Ad libitum [116K]2 years ago

Answer:

12 hours as a carpenter and 18 as a blacksmith.

Step-by-step explanation:

So she earns 20$ per hour as a carpenter. c can represent the amount of hours she worked as a carpenter, and the coefficient will be 20 (salary)

So she earns 25$ per hour as a blacksmith, b can represent the amount of hours she worked as a blacksmith, and 25 will be the coefficient (salary)

So we have the two equations:

c + b = 30

20c + 25b = 690

Now we can solve for c in terms of b and substitute that into the second equation:

Original equation:

c + b = 30

Subtract b from both sides

c = -b + 30

Original equation:

20c + 25b = 690

Substitute -b + 30 as c

20(-b + 30) + 25b = 690

Distribute the 20

-20b + 600 + 25b = 690

Simplify the equation

600 + 5b = 690

Subtract 600 from both sides

5b = 90

Divide both sides by 5

b = 18

Now plug this into either of the original equations to solve for c, but the first equation b + c = 30 is the easiest, so I'll use that equation

Original equation

b + c = 30

Substitute 18 as b

18 + c = 30

Subtract 18 from both sides

12 = c

Write an equation of the line with a slope of -3 and y-intercept of 0
klemol [59]

Answer:

y=-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is written as y=mx+b, where:

m= slope

b= y-intercept

We know the slope and y intercept already, so simply plug them in:

y=-3x+0

We can remove the +0 because it is redundant, therefore the final answer is:

y=-3x

You make $25000 a year, and you get a 10% raise. Your new salary is $____ The next year you get a 10% cut. Your new salary is $_
gtnhenbr [62]

Firstly, we have to find out what 10% of $25000 is. To do this, multiply $25000 by 0.1 (10% in decimal form): \$25000 \times 0.1=\$2500 . <em>$2500 is the 10% raise.</em>

Next, to find your first new salary, add $25000 and $2500 together: \$25000+\$2500=\$27500 . <u>$27500 is your new salary after the 10% raise.</u>

Next, we need to find 10% of $27500. It's a similar process as to finding 10% of $25000. \$27500 \times 0.1=\$2750 . <em>$2750 is your 10% cut.</em>

Next, since this is a cut, subtract $2750 from $27500. \$27500-\$2750=\$24750 . <u>$24750 is your new salary after the 10% cut.</u>

Next, to find the percentage change, firstly divide $24750 by $25000. \frac{\$24750}{\$25000}=0.99\ \textsf{or}\ 99\% . Now this shows that your current salary is 99% of what you used to make. It is <em>not</em> how much less you make. To find how much less it is, subtract 99% from 100%: 100\%-99\%=1\% . <u>Your current salary is 1% less than what you used to make.</u>

thomas want to save money for a vacation. Thomas invest $1,300 in account that pays an interest rate of 6.25% how many years wil
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

  44.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the interest is compounded annually and the investment is a one-time deposit into the account, its value each year is multiplied by 1+6.25% = 1.0625. After n years, the value in the account will be ...

  19000 = 1300·1.0625^n

Dividing by 1300 and taking logs, we have ...

  log(19000/1300) = n·log(1.0625)

  log(190/13)/log(1.0625) = n ≈ 44.24 . . . .  years

It will take about 44.2 years for the account to reach $19,000.
