According to the Tristate Transportation Authority, making certain improvements to the main commuter rail line would increase ri

dership dramatically. The authority plans to finance these improvements over the course of five years by raising automobile tolls on the two high-way bridges along the route the rail line serves. Although the proposed improvements are indeed needed, the authority’s plan for securing the necessary funds should be rejected because it would unfairly force drivers to absorb the entire cost of something from which they receive no benefit.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the effectiveness of the authority’s plan to finance the proposed improvements by increasing bridge tolls?


(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed increase can be raised.

(B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines.

(C) Between the time a proposed toll increase is announced and the time the increase is actually put into effect, many commuters buy more tokens than usual to postpone the effects of the increase.

(D) When tolls were last increased on the two bridges in question, almost 20 percent of the regular commuter traffic switched to a slightly longer alternative route that has since been improved.

(E) The chairman of the authority is a member of the Tristate Automobile Club that has registered strong opposition to the proposed toll increase.

Answer:

Options A and B are true

(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed increase can be raised.

B. (B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. In a developed society, it's imperative for the authority to hold public hearings with stake holders to air their views before the tolls are increased, this would enable the authority to carry out proper assessment to know both the positive and negative impact of increasing the toll.

B. Increasing the tolls implies that there must be adjustment in the automated tolling machines and this would incur cost on the authority, this contract would be executed by private contractors.

Mika bought 9 rolls of film to take 180 pictures on a field trip. Some rolls had 36 exposures and the rest had 12 exposures. How
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The number of each type Mika bought =x = 6.8 rolls; y= 2.2 rolls.

<h3>Calculation using ratio</h3>

The number of rolls of film Mika  bought =  9 rolls

The number of rolls that had 36 exposures = x

The number of rolls that had 12 exposures = y

The total number of exposures = 36 + 12 = 48

To find the exposure by one roll = 48/9 = 5.3

If one roll = 5.3 exposure

    x roll    = 36 exposure

Make x roll the subject of formula,

x roll = 36/5.3 = 6.8 rolls

  • If one roll = 5.3 exposure

    y roll    = 12 exposure

Make y roll the subject of formula,

y = 12/5.3 = 2.2 rolls

Therefore, the number of each type Mika bought = x = 6.8 rolls; y= 2.2 rolls.

Under his cell phone plan, Elijah pays a flat cost of $64.50 per month and $5 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill at $87.50
timofeeve [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Plan A: A = 20G

Plan B: B = 15G + 40

To see when they will be equal set the equations equal to each other

20G = 15G + 40

5G = 40

G = 8

At 8 GB they will cost the same amount.

20(8) = $160

15(8)+40 = $160

Hope it will be Helpfull

thank you
