Answer: a. 126.20 gallons.

b. 2740 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use unitary method in this question.

a) ∵ 310 miles can be covered by a car with the help of 15.5 gallons of gasoline

∴ 1 mile can be covered = $\frac{15.5}{310}$ gallons

∴2524 miles can be covered = $\frac{15.5}{310}(2524) gallons$

= 126.20 gallons

b). ∵ With 15.5 gallons of gasoline car can be driven = 310 miles

∴ With 1 gallon of gasoline car can go = 310/15.5 miles

∴ With 137 gallons can can go = (310×137)/15.5 miles

= 2740 miles.

Answer:

You did not post the options, but i will try to answer this in a general way.

Because we have two solutions, i know that we are talking about quadratic equations, of the form of:

0 = a*x^2 + b*x + c.

There are two easy ways to see if the solutions of this equation are real or not.

1) look at the graph, if the graph touches the x-axis, then we have real solutions (if the graph does not touch the x-axis, we have complex solutions).

2) look at the determinant.

The determinant of a quadratic equation is:

D = b^2 - 4*a*c.

if D > 0, we have two real solutions.

if D = 0, we have one real solution (or two real solutions that are equal)

if D < 0, we have two complex solutions.

The graph represents the cost of a subscription to a newspaper. A coordinate plane showing Ferry Ride Cost with Number of Person

Answer:

The constant of variation is $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point 1 (1,2)

Point 2 (5,8)

Required

Constant of Variation

Though the graph would have assisted in answering the question; its unavailability doesn't mean the question cannot be solved.

Having said that,

the constant variation can be solved by calculating the gradient of the graph;

The gradient is often represented by m and is calculated as thus

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where

$(x_1, y_1) = (1,2)\\(x_2, y_2) = (5,8)$

By substituting values for x1,x2,y1 and y2; the gradient becomes

$m = \frac{8 - 2}{5 - 1}$

$m = \frac{6}{4}$

$m = \frac{3}{2}$

$m = 1.50$

Hence, the constant of variation is $1.50

McKenzie buys 250 shares of stock for $12 a share and pays a 2% commision. She sells the stock 3 years later for $18 a share and

Artemon [7]

250 shares for $ 12 per share......250 * 12 = 3000
plus the 2% commission......3000(1.02) = 3060...so the commission is $ 60

she then sells her stock (250 shares) for $ 18 a share....
250 * 18 = 4500
plus the 1% commission....4500(1.01) = 4545...so the commission is $ 45

net proceeds is the amount received by the seller after all costs and expenses are deducted...

expenses : 3000 + 60 + 45 = 3105
revenue : 4500

net proceeds = 4500 - 3105 = $ 1395 <==
