A swimming pool holds 480,000 liters of water. The pool has two drainage pipes. When the pool is completely full, the first pipe

alone can empty it in 160 minutes, and the second pipe alone can empty it in 240 minutes. When both pipes are draining together, how long does it take them to empty the pool?

The answer is 96 min, here is why:

x / 240 + x / 160 = 1 
<span>2x + 3x = 480 </span>
<span>5x = 480 </span>
<span>x = 96 min

(</span><span>Drainage rate of first pipe = 480000/240 = 2000 l/min </span>
<span>Drainage rate of second tube = 480000/160 = 3000 l/min </span>
<span>Combined drainage rate = 5000 l/min </span>
<span>Time to drain = 480000/5000 = 96 min. )</span>

A cell phone costs $170 and has a tax rate of 7%. Write and Solve a proportion to find how much tax is paid on the cell phone.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The Amount of tax paid on the cell phone is $11.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The cost of the cell phone = x = $170

The tax rate of the cell phone = r = 7% of the phone cost

Let The Amount of tax paid on the cell phone = $y

<u>Now, According to question</u>

The Amount of tax paid on the cell phone = 7 % of cost of the cell phone

i.e y = 7% of x

Or, y = \dfrac{7}{100} × x

Or,  y = \dfrac{7}{100} × $170

Or, y = \frac{7\times 170}{100}

∴ y = 7 × 1.7

i.e y = $11.9

So,The Amount of tax paid on the cell phone = y = $11.9

Hence, The Amount of tax paid on the cell phone is $11.9   Answer
