R = speed in still water
r + c = speed with current
r - c = speed against current

3.5(r + c) = 70
r + c = 20
c = 20 - r

4(r + c) = distance from pier to pier
5(r - c) = distance from pier to pier
4(r + c) = 5(r - c)
4(r + 20 - r) = 5(r - 20 + r)
80 = 10r - 100
180 = 10r
18 = r
The speed in still water is 18 km/hour

1. A company has $5826 to give out in bonuses. An amount is to be given out equally to each of the 29 employees.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

a) Incorrect

b) $201

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

$5826 need to be distributed equally among 29 employees . Hence we need to divide 5826 by 29 to know the amount each one will get. Since 58=29*2 and 26≈2, The manager can estimate that each one of the employee will get $201 as bonus. So his reason to estimate was correct but the estimated amount was incorrect.

b)

Each employee will get

\frac{5826}{29}

= 200.89

Hence Each one will get

$201 rounded to nearest whole number
