The thing you have to figure out about this is the distance for each person and the time it takes for the biker to meet the runner.  The rates we are told.  The formula is distance = rate times time.  Let's do that for the runner first.  His rate is 6 so the formula so far is d = 6t.  Now let's work on the time.  If the biker left an hour later than the runner, then the runner has been running an hour more than the biker.  Therefore, the runner's time is t + 1.  Hold off on the distance part til we do for the biker what we just did for the runner.  The biker's rate is 14, and we already decided that his time is t.  His equation is d = 14t.  Now at the exact moment the biker meets the runner their distances are the same.  So if the equation for the runner is d = 6t + 6 and the equation for the biker is d = 14t and their distances are the same, by the transitive property, their rates and times are the same as well, meaning we set them equal to each other and solve for t.  6t + 6 = 14t.  6 = 8t and t = 3/4.  This means that it took 45 minutes for the biker to meet the runner.

Shashi Rimoko earns $620 per week as a chef. He has group
finlep [7]

Out of the weekly amount that Shashi Rimoko makes, a deduction of $37.93 is made for insurance.

The total Medical cost is $9,560 and out of this, the amount paid by Shashi per year is:

<em>= Amount x (1 - percentage paid by restaurant)</em>

= 9,560 x ( 1 - 80%)

= $1,912

The amount he pays for Dental coverage is:

<em>= Amount x (1 - percentage paid by restaurant)</em>

= 172 x (1 - 65%)

= $60.20

The total amount he pays for insurance per year is:

<em>= Medical + Dental </em>

= 1,912 + 60.20

= $1,972.20

The weekly deduction is:

<em>= Year amount / No. of weeks in year </em>

= 1,972.20 / 52

= $37.93

In conclusion, $37.93 is deducted from his paycheck every week.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

account balance on compound interest = principal amount (1+rate/100)^time

here there are t years  so toat months are 12t and ad interest is after each 4 months so time is 12t/4 =3t

now total balance = 3545(1.045)^3t

here 3545 is principal amount , rate is( 1.045-1)×100 =4.5% per 4 months and 3t is time so clearly 3t or 3 is a growth factor hence option A
