5.70 is the correct answer
Answer:
Barbara's speed in clear weather is
and in the thunderstorm is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
be the speed and
be the time Barbara drives in clear weather, and let
be the speed and
be the time she drives in the thunderstorm.
Barbara drives 22 mph lower in the thunderstorm than in the clear weather; therefore,
(1). 
Also,
(2).
(3).
,
and
(4). 
From equations (2) and (3) we get:


putting these in equation (4) we get:

and substituting for
from equation (1) we get:

This equation can be rewritten as

which has solutions


We take the first solution
because it gives a positive value for 


.
Thus, Barbara's speed in clear weather is
and in the thunderstorm is
.
Answer:
Kyle’s fixed monthly salary in dollars is $1800
Step-by-step explanation:
let a be the fixed monthly salary
let b% represent the fixed percentage of sales
a+(b%*15000)=2550
a+(b%*25000)=3050
a+(b/100*15000)=2550
a+150b=2550
a+(b/100*25000)=3050
a+250b=3050
now we have
a+150b=2550
a+250b=3050
let subtract a+150b=2550 from a+250b=3050
100b=500
b=500/100=5%
then a+(5%*15000)=2550
a+750=2550
a=2550-750=$1800
Answer: 36 is the correct answer.
12.5% = .125
32 x .125 = 4
32 + 4 = 36
