Answer:

40 hours will it take for the pool to fill.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pump can fill a swimming pool in 8 hours.

Work done by pump to fill in 1 hour is  \frac{1}{8}

The pool also has a drain that can empty the pool in 10 hours.

Work done by pump to drain in 1 hour is  \frac{1}{10}

If someone turns on the pump to fill the pool, but forgets to shut the drain.

Work done by both pipe in 1 hour is

W=\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{10}

W=\frac{10-8}{80}

W=\frac{2}{80}

W=\frac{1}{40}

Both pipe filled \frac{1}{40} part of pool in hours = 1

Both pipe filled complete pool in hours = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{40}}=40

Therefore, 40 hours will it take for the pool to fill.

A sales person at a car dealership earns A monthly salary of $2400 and $250 for each vehicle sold how many vehicles is the sales
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of vehicles that the sales person sold in a month.

The sales person at the car dealership earns a monthly salary of $2400 and $250 for each vehicle sold. Let y represent the total amount he earns for selling x vehicles in a month. Therefore,

y = 250x + 2400

To determine the number of vehicles that the sales person needs to sell in a month to earn exactly $4000, we would substitute

4000 for y. It becomes

4000 = 250x + 2400

250x = 4000 - 2400 = 1600

x = 1600/250

x = 6.4

He would have to sell 7 vehicles because he cannot sell 6.4 vehicles and if he sells 6 vehicles, it would be lesser than $4000
