Answer:

  6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the time in hours it takes the second worker to do the job alone. Then each hour, 1/x of the job gets done by that worker. Similarly, the regular custodian accomplishes 1/3 of the job in each hour. Working together, they do 1/2 of the job each hour:

  1/3 +1/x = 1/2

  1/x = 1/2 -1/3 = 3/6 -2/6 = 1/6 . . . . subtract 1/3 and simplify

  x = 6

It takes the second worker 6 hours to do the same job alone.

Answer:

(x - 1)² + (y + 1/2)² = 65/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  the endpoints of the diameter are (3, 3) and (-1, -4).  a( To determine the center of this circle, find the midpoint of the line segment connecting these two points:

      3 - 1

x = -----------

          2

and

         -1

y = ----------

          2

The center is at x = 1 and y = -1/2:  (1, -1/2).

b) The radius is half the diameter.  The diameter is the distance between the two endpoints given, that is, the distance between (-1, -4) and (3, 3):

diameter = √(4² + 7²) = √(16 + 49) = √65; therefore,

radius = (1/2)√65.

square of the radius = r² = 65/4

The general equation of a circle with center at (h, k) and radius r is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r².  In this case, the equation is:

(x - 1)² + (y + 1/2)² = 65/4

When you buy an item on which sales tax is charged,the total cost is calculated by the formula T=P+s/100p where T is the total c
Gennadij [26K]

Given:

The formula for total cost is

T=p+\dfrac{s}{100}p

where, p is the price of item and s is the sales tax rate (as a percent).

You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14.

To find:

The the tax rate.

Solution:

You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14. So,

Total cost (T) = $14.77

Price of item (p) = $14

Putting T=14.77 and p=14 in given formula, we get

14.77=14+\dfrac{s}{100}(14)

14.77-14=\dfrac{s}{100}(14)

0.77=\dfrac{s}{100}(14)

Multiply both sides by 100.

77=14s

Divide both sides by 14.

\dfrac{77}{14}=s

5.5=s

Therefore, the tax rate is 5.5%.
