Find his rate:
120 / 15 = $8 per hour
Multiply the rate by hours:
$8 x 20 hours = $160
He will earn $160
Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let
the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.
We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is
.
Answer:
the difference of the product of 3x and 4 and of the sum of -1 and 2
Take wholesale cost and multiply it by 95%, then add to the original value
another way, just multiply by 1.95
Retail cost: 1.95*($99.50) = $194.03
