So firstly let’s set a ‘algebra’
Let’s make the hours working after school as ‘x’
So Chase works totally 18 hours last week
So the hours he works on Saturday is (18-x)
And given the salary of working after school is $8 per hour,and the salary of working on Saturday is $10,and he earned $156
So with these we can write a equation
8x+10(18-x)=156
solve it,
8x+180-10x=156
-2x=-24
X=12
as I said x is the hour working after school
The hour working on Saturday should be 18-x
18-12=6
Answer is 6

Kryger [21]

Answer:

<h2>125 tickets for an adult</h2><h2>and 175 tickets for a student</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

a-\text{number of the tickets for an adult}\\s-\text{number of the tickets for a student}\\\\(1)\qquad a+s=300\\(2)\qquad4.5a+3s=1087.5\\------------\\(1)\\a+s=300\qquad\text{subtstitute}\ s\ \text{from both sides}\\a=300-s\\\\\text{Put it to (2):}\\\\4.5(300-s)+3s=1087.5\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(4.5)(300)+(4.5)(-s)+3s=1087.5\\\\1350-4.5s+3s=1087.5\qquad\text{subtract 1350 from both sides}\\\\-1.5s=-262.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-1.5)}\\\\\boxed{s=175}

\text{Put the value of}\ s\ \text{to (1):}\\\\a=300-175\\\\\boxed{a=125}

Sanjay picked p peaches. Zach picked 17 times as many peaches as Sanjay. Write an expression that shows how many peaches Zach pi
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

17p

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you don't know how much Sanjay picked you can only explain as a variable. So just put 17 next to p which is 17*p

20. Based on student records, 25% of the students at a large high school have a
Elenna [48]

Answer:

(E) 0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the event that a student has GPA of 3.5 or better, A' the event that a student has GPA lower than 3.5, B the event that a student is enrolled in at least one AP class and B' the event that a student is not taking any AP class.

So, the  probability that the student has a GPA lower than 3.5 and is not taking any AP  classes is calculated as:

P(A'∩B') = 1 - P(A∪B)

it means that the students that have a GPA lower than 3.5 and are not taking any AP  classes are the complement of the students that have a GPA of 3.5 of better or are enrolled in at least one AP class.

Therefore, P(A∪B) is equal to:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

Where the probability P(A) that a student has GPA of 3.5 or better is 0.25, the probability P(B) that a student is enrolled in at least one AP class is 0.16 and the probability P(A∩B) that a student has a GPA of 3.5 or better and is enrolled  in at least one AP class is 0.12

So, P(A∪B) is equal to:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∪B) = 0.25 + 0.16 - 0.12

P(A∪B) = 0.29

Finally, P(A'∩B') is equal to:

P(A'∩B') = 1 - P(A∪B)

P(A'∩B') = 1 - 0.29

P(A'∩B') = 0.71
