Answer:

<u>The correct answer is C. $ 39.89</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the questions correctly:

Tank capacity = 21 gallons

Cost of gallon of gas when the car is returned with under half a tank = $ 7.50

Cost of gallon of gas when the car is returned with more than half a tank = $ 5.75

Gas in the tank of the rental car = 1,800 fluid ounces

2. How much should you charge the customer to fill the tank?

Let's recall that 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces

Now, we will answer the question this way, converting the tank capacity from gallons to fluid ounces:

Capacity of the gas tank = 21 * 128 = 2,688 fluid ounces

Like 1,800 is above the 50% of the tank, we will charge $ 5.75 per gallon to fill up the tank

Now, we calculate the cost of gas per fluid ounce, this way:

Cost per fluid ounce = 5.75/128 = $ 0.04492

Finally, we calculate how many fluid ounces the customer has to pay this way:

We will charge the customer = (2,688 - 1,800) * 0.04492

We will charge the customer = $ 39.89

<u>The correct answer is C. $ 39.89</u>

-0.111c + 1 = 0.889c
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

-0.111c + 1 = 0.889c = c=1

Subtract 0.889c from both sides:

−0.111c+1−0.889c=0.889c−0.889c

−c+1=0

Subtract 1 from both sides.:

−c+1−1=0−1

−c=−1

Divide both sides by -1.:

-c/1 = -1/-1

Therefore, your answer is c=1

If y varies jointly as x and z and y = 4 when x = 2 and z = 3, what is y when x = -6 and z = 2?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = kxz

Putting values of y x and z in the equation

4 = k(2)(3)

4 = k6

2/3 = k

Now finding y when x = - 6 and z = 2

Y = kxz

= 2/3(-6)(2)

= - 8
