Tanya took a cab from her home to the airport. Her total fare including a tip of $5.00, was $28.50. EZ Cab Company has a pick-up

-at-home charge of $2.50, which is not shown on the meter. The cab meter charges $1.00 for the first 0.2 mile and $0.25 for each additional 0.2 mile traveled.
With this information, my question is: How much did the cab meter show when Tanya arrived at the airport?

16.2 miles.

Since she paid a $5 tip, the cost for her fare was $23.50.  Let x be the number of 0.2-mile increments in the trip:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25(x-1)

This equation comes from the 2.50 home pick-up fee; $1 for the first 0.2-mile increment; and 0.25 for each other 0.2-mile increment.

Using the distributive property, we have:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25*x - 0.25*1
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25x - 0.25

Combining like terms,
23.50 = 0.25x + 2.75

Subtracting 2.75 from both sides, we have:
23.50 - 2.75 = 0.25x + 2.75 - 2.75
20.25 = 0.25x

Dividing both sides by 0.25, we have:
20.25/0.25 = 0.25x/0.25
81 = x

This means there are 81 0.2-mile increments in her trip.  81(0.2) = 16.2 miles

Drupady [299]

Answer:

  • f(x) = 50000*2^x
  • 3 days

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Initial amount of bacteria = 50000
  • Growth rate = 2 times a day

<u>Required equation:</u>

  • f(x) = 50000*2^x

<u>Solve for x:</u>

  • 400000 = 50000*2^x
  • 2^x = 400000/50000
  • 2^x = 8
  • 2^x = 2^3
  • x = 3

After 3 days bacteria numbers will reach 400000

The hard drive on your computer has a capacity of 160 gigabytes (GB). You have used 122 GB. You want to save some home videos to
QveST [7]

Capacity of the hard drive = 160 GB.

Used space = 122 GB.

Free space = 160 - 122 = 38 GB.

So, the size of the home video collection should be less than or equal to 38 GB.

If u is the amount of space used, then, u ≤ 38

If a is the amount of space available, then a = 38 - u.
