I believe the answer is X=15
Answer:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
x = 11 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of hours = x
Total cost = y
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost
The equations are:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
solve the equation to find for how many hours the total cost of the services is equal.
Equate total cost of both services
20 + 4x = 9 + 5x
Collect like terms
20 - 9 = 5x - 4x
11 = x
x = 11 hours
Check:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
= 20 + 4(11)
= 20 + 44
= 64
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
= 9 + 5(11)
= 9 + 55
= 64
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
85%
Step-by-step explanation:
- Calculate how many students passed on their first try. 20 x 70% is 14, so 14 students passed on their first try.
- 6 students retook the test. Half of 6 is 3. Add 3 to the 14 students that passed earlier.
- Calculate the percent with the equation 17/20 = 0.85. 0.85 = 85%.
