The cost for carpeting 20 square yards is $230.

Further explanation:

First of all, we will calculate the cost for one square yard then will find the final answer.

So,

Given

Total area = 28 square yards

Cost of carpeting 28 square yards = $322

Cost of carpeting one square yard = 322/28 = $11.5 per square yard

Now to find the cost of carpeting 20 square yards

Cost of 20 square yards = 20*11.5

= $230

The cost for carpeting 20 square yards is $230.

On a linear X temperature scale, water freezes at −115.0°X and boils at 325.0°X. On a linear Y temperature scale, water freezes

belka [17]

Answer:

The current temperature on the X scale is 1150 °X.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let is determine first the ratio of change in X linear temperature scale to change in Y linear temperature scale:

$r = \frac{\Delta T_{X}}{\Delta T_{Y}}$

$r = \frac{325\,^{\circ}X-(-115\,^{\circ}X)}{-25\,^{\circ}Y - (-65.00\,^{\circ}Y)}$

$r = 11\,\frac{^{\circ}X}{^{\circ}Y}$

The difference between current temperature in Y linear scale with respect to freezing point is:

$\Delta T_{Y} = 50\,^{\circ}Y - (-65\,^{\circ}Y)$

$\Delta T_{Y} = 115\,^{\circ}Y$

The change in X linear scale is:

$\Delta T_{X} = r\cdot \Delta T_{Y}$

$\Delta T_{X} = \left(11\,\frac{^{\circ}X}{^{\circ}Y} \right)\cdot (115\,^{\circ}Y)$

$\Delta T_{X} = 1265\,^{\circ}X$

Lastly, the current temperature on the X scale is:

$T_{X} = -115\,^{\circ}X + 1265\,^{\circ}X$

$T_{X} = 1150\,^{\circ}X$

The current temperature on the X scale is 1150 °X.
