Mechanic A worked for 15 hours and mechanic B worked for 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Per hour charges of mechanic A = $95

Per hour charges of mechanic B = $75

Total hours worked = 20

Total amount charged = $1800

Let,

x represent the number of hours of mechanic A

y represent the number of hours of mechanic B

According to given statement;

x+y=20          Eqn 1

95x+75y=1800   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 95

95(x+y=20)\\95x+95y=1900\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(95x+95y)-(95x+75y)=1900-1800\\95x+95y-95x-75y=100\\20y=100

Dividing both sides by 20

\frac{20y}{20}=\frac{100}{20}\\y=5

Putting y=5 in Eqn 1

x+5=20\\x=20-5\\x=15

Mechanic A worked for 15 hours and mechanic B worked for 5 hours.

Help me solve please! The math club has 57 members who are in sixth or seventh grades. There are twice as many sixth graders as
saul85 [17]
We know there is 57 members are in the math club and there is twice as many sixth grades than the seventh. To find out how many sixth graders are in the club, we do:

x = seventh graders
2x = sixth graders

2x + x = 3x

57=3x
57 ÷ 3 = 3x ÷3
19 = x

So there is 19 seventh graders and 19×2= 38 sixth graders

If anyone can please help me
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

5 orange + 5 mango = 10

P( mango ) = mango /total = 5/10 = 1/2

Replace

5 orange + 5 mango = 10

P(orange ) = orange /total = 5/10 = 1/2

P(mange, replace, orange) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
