Answer:

60 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

We rent a car for the day and are offered two payment options.

With option A we pay $25 flat rate plus $0.15 per mile.

With option B we pay a $10 flat rate plus $0.40 per mile.

Question asked:

For what amount of miles would the cost of option A be equal to option B ?

Solution:

<u>Let amount of miles for which the cost of option A be equal to option B = </u>x<u />

For option A, we pay = 25+0.15\times x

For option B, we pay = 10+0.40\times x

Now, to find amount of miles for which the cost of option A be equal to option B, we will equalize the equation to find the value of x

25+0.15x=10+0.40x\\

By subtracting both sides by 10

25-10+0.15x=10-10+0.40x\\15+0.15x=0.40x

By subtracting both sides by 0.15x

15+0.15x-0.15x=0.40x-0.15x\\15=0.25x

By dividing both sides by 0.25

x=60\ miles

Therefore, for 60 miles, the cost of option A will be equal to option B.

inn [45]

Answer: 3617.28 cubic millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation: I used the formula of a sphere since a gumball is a shape of a sphere and plugged the radius into the formula.

I got that the volume of a single gumball is 288π cubic millimeters.

Since there are 4 gumballs, i multiplied the volume by 4.

The total volume of the four gumballs add up to be 1152π .

Lastly, I multiplied 1152 by pi

and got the answer to be 3617.28 cubic millimeters
