Answer: it will take 2.33 hours for the snow fall in both of the towns be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that it will take for the snow fall in both of the towns be equal.

A town accumulated 2 inches of snow and the depth is increasing by 6 inches every hour. This means that in x hours, the depth of snow in the town would be

6x + 2

A nearby town has accumulated 9 inches of snow and the depth is increasing by 3 inches every hour. This means that in x hours, the depth of snow in the town would be

3x + 9

For the snow fall in both of the towns be equal, the number of hours would be

6x + 2 = 3x + 9

6x - 3x = 9 - 2

3x = 7

x = 7/3 = 2.33 hours

Answer: total profit = $418

======================================================

Work Shown:

June

Income = (4 lawns)*($27 per lawn) = $108

Expenses = ($32 for gas)+($12 for trim line) = $44

Profit = income - expenses = 108-44 = $64

----------------------------

July

Income = (12 lawns)*($20 per lawn) = $240

Expenses = ($89 for gas)+($29 for blade sharpening) = $118

Profit = income - expenses = 240 - 89 = $151

----------------------------

August

Income = (16 lawns)*($20 per lawn) = $320

Expenses = ($101 for gas)+($16 for oil) = $117

Profit = income - expenses = 320-117 = $203

----------------------------

Total profit = (june profit)+(july profit)+(august profit)

Total profit = (64) + (151) + (203)

Total profit = $418

If the final result was negative, then we would call this a loss. However, we have a positive value, so we go with a profit.

Paige works at a department store and has a commission rate of 3 percent. Her sales for the quarter were $4,596. If she earns $5
vagabundo [1.1K]
If she gets 3% of what she sells you multiply the decimal form of the percent by the amount she has made:
50*.03=1.5
So she make $1.50 for every $50 of sales, so you multiply the amount she made by her commission each day by the number of days she worked:
1.5*30=45
 
She earned a total of $45<span />
