Create equations:
10X+15y=2575.
X+Y=210.
Solve for X: X=210-Y, and sub it into the other equation: 10(210-Y)+15Y=2575. Solve for Y: 2,100-10y+15y=2575, 5y=475, y=95.
Sub Y into the original problem: X+95=210. Solve: X=115.
The first mechanic charges $115 per hour and the second charges $95 :)

You can use 2 equations for this. let's use x to stand for 10 hour mechanic rate and y for 15 hour mechanic rate. So for first equation we know the total amount of money made was 2575. we also know that each mechanic charged 10x (10 hours times his pay rate) and 15y (15 hours times other payrate). So:
10x + 15y = 2575

we also know that the 2 rates added together equals 210. this means:
x + y = 210

we can actually solve for x or t on this second one easily:
x= 210 - y. Or y = 210 - x

I'm going to use the x= 210 - y but you could use the other one.

since I know what x equals I can actually substitute it in on the first equation like so:
10 * (210 - y) + 15y = 2575

notice how I combined the 2 equations
2100 - 10y + 15y = 2575

move the 2100 to other side by subtracting and combine y' s
5y = 475
y = 95

So so we know the 15 hour employee charged $95 an hour. we can plug this into second equation and find other wage. like this:
x = 210 - 95
x = 115

So this 1st guy made $115 an hour

Please help me:(***********​
jeka94

Answer:

<em><u>A:</u></em>

<em><u>Square</u></em>

<em><u>Rectangle</u></em>

<em><u>Parallelogram</u></em>

<em><u>Quadrilateral</u></em>

<em><u>Rhombus</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

All sides and angles are equal so it is a square

All angles are 90 degrees so it is a rectangle (eliminate C)

Opposing angles and side lengths are congruent so it is a parallelogram (eliminate D)

It has 4 sides so it is a quadrilateral (eliminate B)

Since all of the other answers are eliminated you don't necessarily need to prove that is is a rhombus, but it is good practice.

Opposing sides are congruent so it is a rhombus.

What is the markup percent on a diamond for which the markup is $870 and the selling price is $2870?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

30.31%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark up on selling price is given by markup*100%/selling price

In this case, markup is given as $870 while the selling price is $2870 hence the percentage of narkup to selling price will be given by \frac {870\times 100}{2870}=30.313588850174\approx 30.31

Therefore, the percentage of markup to selling price is approximately 30.31%
