Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the auditorium holds an average of 1000 people each.

And that she charges $40 each.

Thus;

Total income for each speech is;

1000 × 40 = $40000

Since she gives an average of 10 presentations each week.

Total income per week = 10 × 40000 = $400,000

Now,the expenses she makes for each speech weekly is;

Renting auditorium = $15000

Motel, jet expenses, support personnel = $75000

Thus,

Total expenses per week = 15000 + 75000 = $90000

Now, total profit per week is;

P_weekly = Total income per week - Total expenses per week

P_weekly = $400000 - $90000

P_weekly = $310000

There are 52 weeks in a year, thus, profit in a year is;

P_yearly = 52 × 310000 = $16120000

Now, we want to find out how long it took her to make $1,400,000 a year.

We know that;

$16120000 was achieved in 52 weeks

Thus;$1,400,000 will be achieved in;

(1400000 × 52)/16120000 = 4.52 weeks approximately 5 weeks.

Max has 5.50. He has eight more quarters than he does nickels. He had four times as many dimes as he has nickels. How many quart
Oliga [24]

Answer:

<h2>There are 13 quarters, 5 nickels and 20 dimes.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • Max has $5.50.
  • He has eight more quarters than he does nickels.
  • He had four times as many dimes as he has nickels.

From these statements, we can deduce algebraical expressions to solve the problem. Let's call q quarters, n nickels and d dimes.

q=n+8 (8 more quarters than nickels)

d=4n (he has four times as many dimes as he has nickels).

0.25q+0.05n+0.10d=5.50 (Max has a total of $5.50, one quartes is $0.25, one nickel is $0.05 and one dime is $0.10).

Let's replace the first two expressions into the third equation

0.25(n+8)+0.05n+0.10(4n)=5.50\\0.25n+2+0.05n+0.40n=5.50\\0.70n=5.50-2\\n=\frac{3.50}{0.70}\\ n=5

There are 5 nickels.

Now, we use this value to find the number of quarters

q=5+8=13

There are 13 quarters.

Also, d=4(5)=20

There are 20 dimes.

Therefore, there are 13 quarters, 5 nickels and 20 dimes.

Solve for x solve for x
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

since two sides are congruent, the two unknown angles are congruent.

All triangle angles total 180 degrees.

so:

180-88=92

92/2=46

9x+1=46

9x=45

x=5
