Answer: Time = 1.5hours or 1 hour 30minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Carrie can inspect a case of watch in 5 hours

if n represent the task,

Carrie's rate C = n/5

James' rate J = n/3

Their combined rate is=n/5 + n/3 = 8n/15

Carrie After working one hour, he would have completed n/5 of the task.

Therefore, the remaining fraction of task is 4n/5

To complete the remaining fraction of task by the two of them, the time taken can be given as;

Work done = rate × time

Time = workdone/rate

Workdone = amount of task remaining = 4n/5

rate combined= 8n/15

Time = (4n/5)/(8n/15)

Time = 1.5hours or 1 hour 30minutes

An automobile salesman receives a monthly bonus cheque if his commission income is at least $6,800.00 in a given month. There ar
Reika [66]

The salesman earns $850 per automobile he sells.

Since x represents the amount of automobiles the salesman sells, we can apply the commission as a coefficient to this variable. Therefore, the total commission that the salesman earns can be represented by $850x.

The bonus cheque is only received if the salesman's commission income is <em>at least </em>$6,800. 'at least' means that the salesman can still receive the cheque if his commission is exactly $6,800. The sign that we can use for this situation is the greater than or equal to sign, ≥.

The inequality that shows the commission income needed for the cheque is $850x ≥ $6,800. However, this question asks for the number of automobiles the salesman must sell to get the cheque.

Divide both sides by $850, as that represents his sales from one commission:

x ≥ 8

The inequality x ≥ 8 represents the amount of automobiles the salesman will need to sell to get the bonus cheque.
