Answer:

200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Company A</u>

  • Daily charge = $130
  • Per mile = $0.20
  • x miles per day = 130 + 0.2x

<u>Company B</u>

  • Daily charge = $50
  • Per mile = $0.60
  • x miles per day = 50 + 0.6x

<u>Assume x miles that makes same amount for both options, then:</u>

  • 130 + 0.2x = 50 + 0.6x
  • 0.6x - 0.2x = 130 - 50
  • 0.4x = 80
  • x = 80/0.4
  • x = 200 miles

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point. Enter your answer in s
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

y = -0.2x - 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is given in the form y = mx + b, the "m" is the slope.

For the line given y = 5x, the slope is 5

The line that is perpendicular to this will have slope that is "negative reciprocal of that".

So, the perpendicular line will have slope of  -\frac{1}{5}

So, the Perpendicular Line will have equation:

y = -1/5x + b

Let's find b by replacing x with 6 and y with -7 [the point given]. So we have:

y=-\frac{1}{5}x+b\\-7=-\frac{1}{5}(6)+b\\-7=-\frac{6}{5}+b\\b=-7+\frac{6}{5}\\b=-5.8

So the equation of perpendicular line = y = -0.2x - 5.8

The pree tax amount count as 100%, then there's the 7% tax and lastly the 20% tip. therefore, one would pay (100+20+7)% of $84.00.
127% of $84.00
(127/100) * $84.00 = $106.68

a ferry traveled 1/6 of the distance between two ports in 3/7 hour. The ferry travels at a constant rate.how much do the ferry t
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

1 hour = 7/18 of the distance between two ports

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

In 3/7 hours distance traveled is 1/6

For finding distance in one hour, divide both sides by 7/3 so that 3/7 would be cancelled out:

3/7 * 7/3 hours = 1/6 * 7/3 distance

By simplifying:

1 hour = 7/18 of the distance between two ports

This means that in one hour 7/18 of the distance is covered between two ports.

i hope it will help you!
