Answer:

Evan is not correct, because it seems like he thought 25 is 125% of 20. He did not spend 125% more time doing homework this week because it was like he added an extra 100% from his 25 hours of homework he did. Because of this 100% increase, the correct answer is actually 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS 25%

The diameter of a circle is 16 centimeters. How would you calculate the area?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: 201.06

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a circle with the radius, square the radius, or multiply it by itself. Then, multiply the squared radius by pi, or 3.14, to get the area. To find the area with the diameter, simply divide the diameter by 2, plug it into the radius formula, and solve as before.

Hope this helps!

A certain car rental location charges a daily fee as well as a mileage charge. On one trip a businessman rented a car for the da

Answer:

x\approx 267\ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

Some events can be modeled as linear functions. If we are in a situation where a linear model is suitable, then we need two sample points to make the model and predict unknown behaviors.

The linear function can be expressed in the slope-intercept format:

f(x)=mx+b

For the problem at hand, we must pick the adequate variables according to the data provided.

The question states the charge for renting a car is a function of the mileage. It also provides two points from which we can build our model. Let's set the following variables:

c = the charge for renting a car in dollars

x = the distance driven by the businessman in miles

Representing the ordered pair as (x,c), we have the points: (150,79) and (65,63.70). Our model will be expressed as:

c = mx+b

We must find the values of m and b with the data provided. Substituting the first point:

79 = 150m+b

Substituting the second point:

63.70 = 65m+b

Both equations form the following system:

\left\{\begin{matrix}150m+b=79\\ 65m+b=63.70 \end{matrix}\right.

Subtracting both equations:

150m-65m=79-63.70

Note the variable b was canceled out in the operation, leaving only the variable m to solve. Joining like terms:

85m=15.3

Solving:

m=15.3/85=0.18

From the first equation

79 = 150m+b

Solving for b:

b=79-150m=79-150(0.18) = 52.

The model for the problem is:

c=0.18x+52

Now we need to calculate how many miles (x) could be driven for c=$100. From the equation above, substitute c=100

100=0.18x+52

Solve for x:

0.18x+52=100

0.18x=100-52=48

x=48/0.18=266.67

Rounding to the closest integer:

\boxed{x\approx 267\ miles}
