In London, the charge of a tour bus consists of a fixed rental price plus a per kilometre rate, that depends on the distance of

the trip.
The per kilometre rate is $12/km. You decide to go on a 5 km trip, and it costs you $70.
a) What is the fixed rental cost? Show your work.
b) Determine the equation relating the cost, C, in dollars, and the distance, d, in km.
d) What is the cost of an 18 km trip?
e) What is the distance travelled if the total cost is $250?

Using a linear function, we have that:

a) The fixed cost is of $10.

b) The equation is: C = 10 + 12d.

c) The cost of an 18 km trip is $226.

d) The distance traveled is of 20 km.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

For this problem, the slope is of m = 12. When d = 5, C(d) = 70, hence we find the fixed cost as follows:

C(d) = 12d + b

70 = 60 + b

b = 10.

Hence the equation is:

C(d) = 12d + 10.

For a trip of 18 km, d = 18, hence the cost is:

C(12) = 12 x 18 + 10 = $226.

When the cost is of $250, the distance is found as follows:

250 = 12d + 10

12d = 240

d = 240/12

d = 20 km.

Anna has a 30-year, 5.75% mortgage on her $250,000 home. She has been
poizon [28]

Answer:

Her new monthly payment is now $1,378.91¢

Step-by-step explanation:

  For us to calculate the new monthly mortgage payment that Anna will start paying from now on, we need to input the formula for calculating monthly mortgage payments.

The formula is:-

          M = P [\frac{r(1+r)^{n} }{(1+r)^{n}-1}]

  Where M is the monthly mortgage payment.

              P is the principal

              r is the monthly interest rate calculated by dividing your annual interest rate by 12

             n is the number of payments(the number of months you will be paying the loan).

 In this case, the new principal that Anna must pay back is $231,905.47¢. The annual interest rate has been reduced to 5.17% from 5.75% so the new monthly interest rate will be obtained by dividing the new annual interest rate by 12

   = 5.17%/2

   = 0.431%

  This is the new monthly  interest rate.

  Since she has been paying her mortgage loan diligently for 5 complete years. It means she now has just 25 years to complete the payment. If 12 months make up one year, then there are - 12 × 25 = 300 more months to go.

   300 is therefore "n" that is required for the calculation.

All the terms needed for the calculation of her new monthly mortgage is now complete.

P = $231,905.47¢

r  = 0.431%

n = 300

             

 M = 231,905.47[\frac{0.00431(1+0.00431)^{300} }{(1+0.00431)^{300} -1}]

     = 231,905.47[\frac{0.00431(3.634)}{2.634}]

     = 231,905.47 × 0.005946

   M  = $1,378.91¢      

   Therefore her new monthly mortgage payment will become $1,378.91¢

I need help SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME OUT WITH THIS !! THANK UU
Mama L [17]

Answer:

since they are alternate exteriors, we put a equal sign

2x+78=5x+15

next we subtract 78 on both sides

2x+78-78=5x+15-78

2x=5x-63

then we subtract 5x on both sides

2x-5x=5x-5x-63

-3x=-63

after that we divide -3 on both sides

-3x/-3=-63/-3

and the answer is

x=21

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x-7 )+(4x-11)=180 ( it equals 180 because those two angles equal 180)

Then add the similar things together

5x+4x=9x

-7-11= -18

9x-18=180, add 18 on both sides to get 9x alone

9x=180, then divide 180 by 9 to get x alone

x=22
