The monthly cost will be $17.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the monthly cost (in dollars) of a long-distance phone plan is a linear function of the total calling time (in minutes) then this can be presented in a table form as;

<u>Time in minutes (x)</u>        <u>Cost in dollars (y)</u>

50                                          $12.55

102                                         $ 17.23

Take the values as ordered pairs to represent coordinates for points that satisfy the linear function

(50,12.55)  and (102,17.23)

Finding the slope of the graph using these points

slope,m=Δy/Δx

m=Δy=17.23-12.55 =4.68

Δx=102-50=52

m=4.68/52 =0.09

Finding the equation of the linear function using m=0.09, and point (50,12.55)

m=Δy/Δx

0.09=y-12.55/x-50

0.09(x-50)=y-12.55

0.09x-4.5=y-12.55

0.09x-4.5+12.55=y

y=0.09x+8.05

So for 101 minutes , the cost will be;

y=0.09*101 +8.05

y=9.09+8.05 = $17.14

If Joanne can paint a room in 3 hours and her sister Angela can paint the same room in 4 hours, how long (in h) would it take Jo
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If J can paint a room in 3 hours, in 1 hour she gets \frac{1}{3} of the job done.

If A can paint a room in 4 hours, in 1 hour she gets \frac{1}{4} of the job done. We need to find out how long it takes them if they paint together. The equation for this is:

\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{x} where x is the number of hours it takes them to get the job done together. Multiply everything through by 12x to get

4x + 3x = 12 so

7x = 12 and

x = 1.7 hours to get the room painted together.

Answer:

  20 = 2 + (7 -4) × 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The Order of Operations requires the parentheses be evaluated first, then the multiplication performed. Finally, the addition is performed.

If each of the blanks is filled with a single digit, the result of the multiplication must be a composite number greater than 10. Those are 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20. For the expression shown above, we have chosen to make the product be 18. That means the first blank is filled with 2 and the remaining blanks must evaluate to one of the products 2×9 or 3×6.

We have chosen 6 for the last blank, so the two blanks in parentheses must have a difference of 3. The digits 2 and 6 cannot be used, leaving possible choices as (3-0), (4-1), (7-4), (8-5).

Our final expression is chosen to be ...

  20 = 2 +(7 -4)×6

n200080 [17]

ANSWER:

Total fee per year = $6,600.

In which she have,

  • $2,000 + $1,500
  • $3,500

Now, we need to subtract it from total fee to get the remaining demand.

So, $6,600 - $3,500

  • $3,100

Hence, Meghan will have to earn __$3,100__ to pay for the first year tuition.
