A * 4 = E........A = E / 4
B / 4 = E........B = 4E
C + 4 = E......C = E - 4
D - 4 = E.......D = E + 4
A + B + C + D = 100
(E/4) + (4E) + (E - 4) + (E + 4) = 100
E/4 + 6E = 100 ....multiply by 4
E + 24E = 400
25E = 400
E = 400/25
E = 16 <===
Increased price = $10 + $10×15% = $11.50
decreased price = $11.50 - $11.5×25% = 8.625
Answer:
6/1 square feet per hour. Jeff can paint faster.
Step-by-step explanation:
So, to get Jeff's square feet to 60 minutes, you do 30x2= 60. So, you do that to 28. 28x2= 56. 56/1 is greater then 50/1. So 56-50= 6. Jeff can paint 6 square feet per hour, greater than Angela.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
23 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
T=125 + 5.25p
p=23
She'd spend a total of 245.75.
1. Let <em>y</em> represent the amount of money earned, and <em>x</em> the number of cars they wash. Then
<em>y</em> = 5<em>x</em>
Why? Each car wash costs $5. So no car washes means no earnings; 1 car wash earns $5; 2 washes earn $10; 3 washes earn $15, and so on, so that <em>x</em> car washes generate $5<em>x</em>.
2. No matter how many cars they end up washing, they will have spent $75 to set up the operation, so you subtract 75 from the equation is part (1).
3. Taking into account the setup cost of $75, the profit they make is given by
<em>y</em> = 5<em>x</em> - 75
4. When <em>x</em> = 0, meaning no cars get washed, the profit is -$75, meaning the team loses $75.
5. Set the profit function equal to 0 and solve for <em>x</em> :
5<em>x</em> - 75 = 0
5<em>x</em> = 75
<em>x</em> = 75/5
<em>x</em> = 15
So the team has to wash at least 15 cars to break even.
