Answer:
Let's suppose that each person works at an hourly rate R.
Then if 4 people working 8 hours per day, a total of 15 days to complete the task, we can write this as:
4*R*(15*8 hours) = 1 task.
Whit this we can find the value of R.
R = 1 task/(4*15*8 h) = (1/480) task/hour.
a) Now suppose that we have 5 workers, and each one of them works 6 hours per day for a total of D days to complete the task, then we have the equation:
5*( (1/480) task/hour)*(D*6 hours) = 1 task.
We only need to isolate D, that is the number of days that will take the 5 workers to complete the task:
D = (1 task)/(5*6h*1/480 task/hour) = (1 task)/(30/480 taks) = 480/30 = 16
D = 16
Then the 5 workers working 6 hours per day, need 16 days to complete the job.
b) The assumption is that all workers work at the same rate R. If this was not the case (and each one worked at a different rate) we couldn't find the rate at which each worker completes the task (because we had not enough information), and then we would be incapable of completing the question.
For this case we have that by definition, the line equation of the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
According to the statement we have:

Thus, the equation is of the form:

We substitute the given point and find "b":

Finally, the equation is of the form:

Answer:
$102.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets take this one part at a time.
the dealership pays 12000 for the car, so they start at -12000 for how much money they have.
The dealership wants to make a 32% profit. This means they want to make back the 12000 plus 32% of that. what is 32% of 12000? just multiply 12000 bty .32 In the end it works out that the price they sell it for is 15840
I do want to mention that there is a chance the 32% might also be accounting the bonus. So in other words the dealership spent 12000 for the car then however much in paying the bonus, and they want to make a 32% profit on both of these combined. I do not think that is what it is asking for, but I wanted to mention it.
Anyway, with a sales price of $15,840 it says the bonus is 6.5% of that. to find that just do the multiplication .065 * 15840 = 1029.60. So this is the bonus normally.
Now the question says the salesperson offers a 10 percent discount. This changes the sales price (by 10%) and the bonus they earn. let's calculate both.
First 10% discount of the sales price is .9*15840 = 14,256
Then 6.5% of that is .065*14256 = 926.64 So this is the new bonus.
The question wants the difference of the two bonuses, and difference is subtraction. so 1029.60 - 926.64 = 102.96 So if the salesperson offers a 10% discount they lose $102.96
Answer:
84:56, I think?
3 x 28 for the boys then minus 28 for the girls
