Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
Given:$75
25 hours
Painting USA : Fixed cost: $75 ; Variable Cost: $25x
Total Cost = 75 + 25(25) = 75 + 625 = 700
Upscale Home Painting: No Fixed Cost ; Variable Cost : $40x
Total Cost = 40(25) = 1,000
The most cost effective company will be Painting USA whose charge will amount to $700.
Answer:
4.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
distance equals rate times time, a relationship that can be solved for time:
time = distance / rate
Here the time is (135 miles) / (30 mph) = 4.5 hours
The bus requires 4.5 hours to get to the museum.
The answer is
X =3
because they both equal the amounts given
Answer
18 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
if 10 people spend 15 hours
one person spend 15/10=1.5
so 1.5 × 12=18hours
