Answer: side ways
Step-by-step explanation:
We have $8.50 an hour gross minus $2.15 an hour tax and bennys. Then $3.75 daily expense. In one week our net take-away y after x hours is
y = x(8.50 - 2.15) - 5(3.75)
That's the answer, or we can simplify it to
Answer: y = 6.35 x - 18.75
Answer: The slope, 6.35, is the net dollars per hour <em>before weekly expenses.</em>
Answer: The y intercept, -18.75, is the weekly expense, negative because it's an expense.
To make $120 in a week, we solve for x where y=120
120 = 6.35x - 18.75
138.75 = 6.35 x
x = 138.75 / 6.35 = 21.8503937007874
That wasn't the nice round number I was expecting/hoping for. I don't see a mistake so let's go with
Answer: 21.85 hours to make $120
Answer:
- g = -1110p +4300.9
- 804 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Price is the independent variable, so the data we are given can be written as ...
(price, gallons) = (2.99, 982) and (2.79, 1204)
Using the 2-point form of the equation for a line, we have ...
g = (g2 -g1)/(p2 -p1)(p -p1) +g1
g = (1204 -982)/(2.79 -2.99)(p -2.99) +982
g = -1110(p -2.99) +982 = -1110p +4300.9
g = -1110p +4300.9
__
b) When p = 3.15, the predicted sales volume is ...
g = -1110(3.15) +4300.9 = 804.4
Weekly sales are predicted to be 804 gallons at a price of $3.15.
