Rick gave his son $100 to buy food and drinks. His son returned with $25.50 in change. Therefore the amount spent was
$100 - $25.50 = $74.50.

Let
x = number of hot dogs bought (at $3.50 per hot dog).
y = number of milk shakes bought (at $8 per milk shake).
There were 8 orders of soda at $5 per soda.

The total order is $74.50, therefore
3.50x + 8y + 8*5 = 74.50
Simplify to obtain
8y = 74.5 - 3.5x
  y = 4.3125 - 0.4375x

We must have whole numbers (integers) for x and y.
Create a table that varies x from 0 to 8, and look for y to be an integer, as shown below.

  x       y
---  -------
 0   4.3125
 1    3.8750
 2   3.4375
 3   3
 4   2.5625
 5   2.1250
 6   1.6875
 7    1.2500
 8    0.8125

Because we cannot have fractional values for either x or y, the solution is x=3, y=3

Answer:
3 hot dogs, 3 milk shakes, and 8 sodas.

OleMash [197]

Answer:

Answer to this is both option (i) and option (iii).

Explanation:

Change in technology generally affects the change in productivity as well as the change in labor demand. In the case of Labor-augmenting (improving) technology, it is found that the positive change in technology leads to the increasing marginal productivity of labor. This increase of marginal productivity of labor shifts the labor-demand curve towards right. Thus, Labor-augmenting (improving) technology causes marginal productivity of labor to increase which further leads to shifting of the labor-demand curve towards right.

Under the principles of agency law, any sale of goods by a salesperson in a store to a customer can be binding on the owner of t
NeX [460]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Under Agency Law in relation to employment, the salesperson is acting as an agent of the owner of the store and as such is their representative. As their representative, it is assumed that whatever they are selling is from the Owner whom they represent and as such can be binding on the owner.

This is why the Agent must act in the best interest of the owner because the owner could be held negligent for the actions of their agents. For instance, a salesperson will not be sued for a faulty equipment that caused harm but the store can.
