X - the amount of money collected by Aiden
y - the amount of money collected by Jacob

Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio of 3.5 : 6.8.
\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3.5}{6.8} \\
6.8x=3.5y \\
x=\frac{3.5}{6.8}y \\ x=\frac{35}{68}y

Jacob collected $115.50 more than Aiden.
x+115.5=y \\
x=y-115.5 \\ \\
x=x \\
\frac{35}{68}y=y-115.5 \\
\frac{35}{68}y-y=-115.5 \\
\frac{35}{68}y-\frac{68}{68}y=-115.5 \\
-\frac{33}{68}y=-115.5 \\
y=-115.5 \times (-\frac{68}{33}) \\
y=238 \\ \\
x=y-115.5=238-115.5=122.5 \\ \\
x+y=238+122.5=360.5

The total amount of money they collected is $360.50.

Jada's sister works in a furniture store.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

1) $16.35

2) 75%

3) $245  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Jada earns = $15 per hour

  9% increase = 15 * 9/100 = $1.35

  Increased Jada's pay = 15+1.35 = $16.35

2) Markup = selling price - cost= $350 - 200= $150

   Markup % = \frac{sale price - cost }{cost}*100 \

                      = \frac{150}{200}*100 = 75%

3) Jada's sister commission is 3.5% of $7000

          = \frac{3.5}{100}* 7000

           = $245

Find the distance between the two points. Round your solution to 2 decimal points.
VashaNatasha [74]
Notice the grid, the points are (-5, -2) and (4, -1), thus

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~{{ 4}} &,&{{ -1}}~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~{{ -5}} &,&{{ -2}}~)
\end{array}~~
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{[-5-4]^2+[-2-(-1)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-5-4)^2+(-2+1)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(-9)^2+(-1)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{81+1}\implies d=\sqrt{82}
