Answer:

The number of months it will take for Kaylee to make as much as Donna is 23 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have amount Donna makes = $9.75/hour

Amount Kaylee makes = $4/hour with $0.25 monthly raise

Therefore, number of months, Y before Kaylee makes as much s Donna is given by the following expression;

4 + Y × 0.25 = 9.75

0.25·Y = 9.75 - 4 = 5.75

$Therefore, \ Y = \frac{5.75}{0.25} =23 \ months$

That means in 23 months, Kaylee will make as much as Donna per hour.

Rina8888 [55]

Assume a binomial distribution. Then the mean of the distribution is $np$ , where $n$ is the number of people taken in a sample and $p$ is the probability of the mutation occurring in any given person, and the standard deviation is $\sqrt{np(1-p)}$ . Then in this case, the standard deviation is $\sqrt{600(0.06)(0.94)}\approx5.82$ .

Cookies, boxes, sale, profit, unit cost

For this case we have to bake an amount of 702 cookies, which were distributed in boxes of 18 for sale. Selling each box at the same price earned a profit of 136.50 dollars, you want to know the unit cost of each box of cookies.

Let $"x"$ be the number of boxes of cookies:

So, to know the number of boxes we divide 702 cookies among 18:

$x = \frac {702} {18}\\x = 39$

So, we have Tyler sold 39 boxes of cookies

Now, let $"y"$ be the cost of each box of cookies, to know the unit cost or sale price of the cookie boxes, we divided 136.50 dollars among 39 boxes of cookies, then:
