Answer:

There were 40 2-point questions and 9 3-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this situation, write two equations. One for the number of questions and one for the number of points.

Let x be the number of 2 point questions.

Let y be the number of 5 point questions.

x + y = 49

Now since x are each worth 2 points, the total points is 2x.

And since y are each worth 5 points, the total points is 5y.

So 2x + 5y = 125. Substitute one of the equations into the other to solve for the variables.

x + y = 49 becomes x = 49 - y. Substitute it.

2(49-y) + 5y = 125

98 - 2y + 5y = 125

98 + 3y = 125

3y = 27

y = 9

Substitute y = 9 back into the equation x = 49 - y to find x.

x = 49 - 9

x = 40

An automotive technician has two job offers. Shop A would pay him a straight salary of $900 per week. Shop B would pay him $25 p
JulsSmile [24]

Given,

The salary for the technician from shop A is $900 per week.

The salary for the technician from shop B is $25 per hour.

The equation for the total pay for shop B is,

\text{Total pay= salary of per hour}\times number\text{ of hour worked}

Taking the total pay as 900. As, to make the shop A and shop B equal.

\begin{gathered} 900=25\times Number\text{ of hour worked} \\ Number\text{ of hour worked}=\frac{900}{25}=36 \end{gathered}

Hence, he would have to log 36 hours during a week at Shop B in order to match the salary at Shop A.

What is the cost of operating a 3.00-w electric clock for a year if the cost of electricity is $0.0900 per kw · h ?
brilliants [131]
We must take into account the following change of units:
 1kw = 1000w

1 year = 365 days

1 day = 24 hours
 Applying the change of units we have that the electric consumption for 1 year is given by:
 (3) * (1/1000) * (365) * (24) = 26.28 kw * h

 Then, the total cost is given by:
 (26.28) * (0.0900) = 2.3652

 Answer:
 
the cost of operating a 3.00-w electric clock for a year is:
 
$ 2.3652
