Charity donated by Tillman = $3540

Number of employees who donated = 118

Contribution of Tillman = 40%

Let the average contribution of employees be = x

Then the amount contributed by employees = 118x

Then contribution of Tillman = \frac{40}{100}\times118x

As Tillman donated 3540 , then

3540=\frac{40}{100}\times118x

3540=47.20x

x=75

Hence, average contribution by each employee is $75.

Option C is correct.

Answer:

$75

Tillman's donation = .40(total employees' donations)

$3540 = .40x

x = 8850

8850

118

= $75 for each employeeep explanation:

$75

Tillman's donation = .40(total employees' donations)

$3540 = .40x

x = 8850

8850

118

= $75 for each employee

Harper is knitting a scarf for her cousin's birthday. She plans to knit every night, making the scarf 5 centimeters longer each
MissTica

The equation that shows the relationship between x and y is:

y = 5x

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y, y, x are variables.

Let x represent the number of nights knitting and y represent the length of the scarf.

The equation that shows the relationship between x and y is:

y = 5x

why is it not usually realistic to measure the distance between two points on a map as a straight line? explain.
aksik [14]
The map is a flat schematic of some actual distance, on a map, the distance form point A to point B may well be 10 units say, however, in actuality, if you go and walk from point A to point B, you'd notice that, first off is not a straight line most of the time, and also it may have a slanted or sloped section, and the map is not including that slope or hill, whilst you do have to walk it.

so, adding all the twists and curves along the way and any bumps or slopes, is really not exactly 10 units from A to B.

A linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solution the set of all solutions to a linear equation in two variables f
Greeley [361]
<span>1, During a 1-hr television program, there were 22 commercials, Some commercials were 15 sec and some were 30 sec long. Find the number of 15- sec commercials and the number of 30 sec commercial if the total playing time for commercial was 9.5 minutes.

</span>a) <span>show how to formulate your system of equations for your problem,

Answer:
- state the variables: x number of 15 sec commercials, y number of 30 sec commercials
- translate the word statement into algebraic language

b) state the two equations:

- translate the word statement into algebraic equations:

</span><span>* there were 22 commercials => x + y = 22
* the total playing time for commercial was 9.5 minutes => 15x + 30y = 9.5*60 </span><span>

Answer:
Equation (1) x + y = 22
Equation (2) 15x + 30y =  570

c) state which method you will use to solve either addition or substitution

Answer:
adition: multiply the first equation times - 15 and add the two equations.

d) solve your system showing and explaining each step of the process

Answer:
- muliply eq (1) times - 15

-15x - 15y = - 330

- add that to the eq (2):

-15x + 15x - 15y + 30y = -330 + 570

- add like terms: 15y = 240

- divide both members by 15: 15y/15 = 240 / 15 => y = 16

- replace y = 16 in eq I(1) => x + 16 = 22 => x = 22 - 16 = 6

Solution: x = 6, y = 16

e) Be sure to check your solution!

x + y = 22
6 + 16 = 22
22 = 22 --> check

15x + 30y = 9.5*60
15(6) + 30(16) = 570
90 + 480 = 570
570 = 570 ---> check

f) Once a solution is found explain what this solution means in the context of the problem, write the answer to the word problem in words</span><span>

The solution means that d</span><span>uring a 1-hr television program, there were</span><span> 6 commercials of 15 sec and 16 commercials of 30 sec.

2, How many quarts of water should be mixed with a 30% vinegar solution to obtain 12 qt of a 25% vinegar solution. (Hint: water is 0% vinegar).</span>

a) variables:

- state the variables
x: number of quarters of water
y: number of quarters of vinegar

- translate the words into mathematical language

12 qt 25% vinegar solution

=> total number of quarts = 12 = x + y

balance in vinegar:

vinegar from water + vinegar from 30% vinegar solution = vinegar in the 25% vinegar solution

0 + 0.3y = 0.25 (x + y)

c) Equations

Eq (1) x + y = 12

Eq (2): 0.3y = 0.25x + 0.25y

=> 0.25x - 0.05y = 0

d) solve

- multiply eq (1) times 0.05 and add to eq (2)

0.05x + 0.05y = 0.6
0.25x - 0.05y = 0
------------------------
0.30x = 0.6

x = 0.6 / 0.3 = 2

x + y = 12 => y = 12 - y = 12 - 2 = 10

Solution: x = 2, y = 10

e) check:

x + y = 12
2 qt + 10qt = 12 qt
12 qt = 12 qt ---> check

vinegar:

10*0.3 = 12*0.25
3 = 3 -> check

f) Explanation of the solution

The solution means that you have to mix 2 qts of water with 10 qts of 30% vinegar solution to obtain 12 qt of 25% vinegar solution.

Which expression is equivalent to 10a + 6?
victus00 [196]
There are a number of expressions that are equivalent to 10a+6.
To find them, you simply have to list the multiples of both 10 and 6.
10- 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
6- 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60.
Then, when you multiply the fraction by anything, whether this is 2, 3 or 10, you just have to do this to both parts. 
All of the following expressions are equivalent to 10a+6
20a+12, 30a+18, 40a+24, 50a+30, 60a+36, 70a+42, 80a+48, 90a+54, 100a+60

Or, if you're looking to simplfy, then you have to find a common multiple, which is 2. Therefore, 2 goes outside of the bracket, and you then have to divide 10 by 2 to find out what goes inside the brack. 10a/2= 5a. 6/2=3, therefore, in a bracket, it becomes 2(5a+3)

Hope this helps :)
