The actual amount that needs to be divided = 85
The ratio in which the amount needs to be divided = 2:3:5
Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
2x + 3x + 5x = 85
10x = 85
x = 85/10
  = 8.5
Then
The ratio in which the number 85 will be divided = 2 * 8.5:3 * 8.5:5 * 8.5
                                                                             = 17:25.5:42.5
So from the above deduction we can see that the number 85 can be divided in the ratio 17:25.5:42.5

A plumber charges a flat fee of $76 to visit a home and examine a clogged drain. The plumber charges an additional $24 per hour
prisoha [69]

Answer:

(a) 12 hours

(b) $220

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) First we plug in $364 for C

C=76+24h

364=76+24h

Subtract 76 from both sides

24h=288

Divide both sides by 24

h=12

She spent 12 hours fixing the drain

(b) First we plug 6 hours in for h

C=76+24(6)

Multiply it out

C=76+144

Add

C=220

It costs $220 for fixing a drain that takes 6 hours

<h3>You have the correct answer</h3><h3>Interest rate = 21.5%</h3>

===============================================

Work Shown:

i = P*r*t .... simple interest formula

i = simple interest

i = 2075-1000 = 1075

P = 1000 = amount borrowed (principal)

r = unknown interest rate

t = 5 = time in years

So,

i = P*r*t

1075 = 1000*r*5

1075 = 5000r

5000r = 1075

r = 1075/5000

r = 0.215

r = 21.5%
