Suppose that, on a 3,000-mile New York to Los Angeles flight, United Continental, American, and Southwest flew a total of 270 em
allsm [11]

Answer:

The number of empty seats each of these three airlines carried on its flight are as follows:

United Continental = 150 empty seats

American = 50 empty seats

Southwest = 70 empty seats

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf for the complete question.

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

Let U, A and W represents number of empty seats of United Continental, American, and Southwest respectively. Therefore, we have:

U + A + W = 270 ………………………. (1)

Since United Continental had three times as many empty seats as American, this implies that:

U = 3A ………………………………… (2)

Substituting U = 3A into equation (1), we have:

3A +A + W = 270

4A + W = 270

W = 270 - 4A ………………………….. (3)

For the cost, we have:

3,000[((14.90 / 100) * 3A) + (14.60A / 100) + (12.40W / 100)] = $114,990

((14.90 / 100) * 3A) + (14.60A / 100) + (12.40W / 100) = $114,990 / 3,000

((14.90 / 100) * 3A) + (14.60A / 100) + (12.40W / 100) = 38.33

0.447A + 0.146A + 0124W = 38.33

0.593A + 0.124W = 38.33 ………………… (4)

Substituting W = 270 - 4A from equation (3) into (4) and solve for A, we have:

0.593A + 0.124(270 - 4A) = 38.33

0.593A + 33.48 - 0.496A = 38.33

0.593A - 0.496A = 38.33 - 33.48

0.097A = 4.84

A = 4.84 / 0.097

A = 49.8969072164948

Rounding to a whole number, we have:

A = 50

Substituting A = 50 into each of equations (2) and (3), we have:

U = 3 * 50 = 150

W = 270 - (4 * 50) = 70

Therefore, the number of empty seats each of these three airlines carried on its flight are as follows:

United Continental = 150 empty seats

American = 50 empty seats

Southwest = 70 empty seats

3. Are these ratios equivalent? 35:28 and 10:8 *
attashe74 [19]

Reduce each ratio to its minimum expression to find if they are equal.

35:28

\begin{gathered} \frac{35}{28}=\frac{7\cdot5}{7\cdot4} \\ =\frac{5}{4} \end{gathered}

10:8

\begin{gathered} \frac{10}{8}=\frac{2\cdot5}{2\cdot4} \\ =\frac{5}{4} \end{gathered}

Since both ratios reduce to 5:4, they are equivalent.

Another way to check a:b is equivalent to c:d, is that a*d = b*c

In this case, this will be true if 35 times 8 is equal to 10 times 28:

\begin{gathered} 35\cdot8=280 \\ 10\cdot28=280 \end{gathered}

Since both products are equal, then the ratios are equivalent.

Find the equation of lines
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

y = x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c  where m = the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

So here m = 4/4 = 1 and c = 6, so it's:

y = 1x + 6.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

fourth and fifth

Step-by-step explanation:

If George gets a 20% raise, that means he will now earn

$445 + $445*20% = $445 + $445*0.2 = $445*1 + $445*0.2 = $445*(1 + 0.2) = $445 * 1.2

So we know the fourth is correct.

We also know that current pay is 100% of current pay and the new pay will be 120% of current pay, so x/455 must be equal to 120% / 100% which is equal to 120/100, so fifth is correct too.
