The local skating rink pays Mary a fixed rate per pupil plus a base amount to work as a skating instructor. She earns $90 for in

structing 15 students on Monday afternoon. Last Friday, she earned $62 for working with 8 students. Lisa is also a skating instructor. She receives half the base amount that Mary does, but she is paid twice as much per student. Who would earn more money instructing a class of 20 students?

The expressions for the payment made to Mary are,
         (Monday)      90 = 15m + b
         (Tuesday)     62 = 8m + b
where m and b are the fee per student and the base fee, respectively. Solving for m and b, the values are 4 and 30. 
The equation that represents Mary's earning is 
                                    y = 4x + 30
 For 20 students,
                                    y = 4(20) + 30 = 110
For Lisa's earnings,
                                     y = 8x + 15
Substituting 20,
                                    y  =8(20) + 15 = 175
Thus, Lisa would earn more than Mary by $65.

the area of a triangle is 124 square units. what would it's new area be if its base was half as long and its height was three ti
Montano1993 [528]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have that the formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:

 A=bh/2

 Where A is the area of the triangle, b is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle.

 bh/2=124
 bh=124x2
 bh=248

 2. The problem asks for the new area of the triangle <span>if its base was half as long and its height was three times as long. Then, you have:

 Base=b/2
 Height=3h

 3. Therefore, when you substitute this into the formula for calculate the area of a triangle, you obtain:

 A'=bh/2

 (A' is the new area)

 A'=(b/2)(3)/2
 A'=3bh/4

 4. When you substitute bh=248 into </span>A'=3bh/4, you obtain:
<span>
 A'=186 units</span>²
<span>
 The answer is: </span>186 units²

Nesterboy [21]
I think you have to list all of the temperatures in order from least to greatest during the first week (-31, -29, -9, -8, 3, 4, 6) in which case the median would be -8.

I hope this helps you and if you know the answer is wrong please let me know in the comments and I will take another look at the question to see if I can figure out the correct answer.
