Answer:

$724

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this one of two ways. The first way is to set up an equation.

160+0.06(9400)

160+564

724

Or you can use proportions.

$\frac{x}{9400}$ = $\frac{6}{100}$

Cross multiply.

100x=56400

Divide by 100 on both sides.

x=564

Add 160.

564+160=724.

Answer:

$724

Step-by-step explanation:

We know she makes the 6% of the 9,400, so we need to find how much that is.

To do this we calculate the following equation: 9,400 * 0.06

When we solve this, we get 564. From there we add her weekly salary (160) and get 724.

Answer: 4x² - 9x + 20 

Step-by-step explanation:

• General quadratic equation:

${ \rm{ {x}^{2} - (sum \: of \: roots)x + (product \: of \: roots) }}$

• sum of roots → 4 + 5 = 9

• product of roots → 4 × 5 = 20

• substitute:

${ \boxed{ \rm{4 {x}^{2} - 9x + 20 }}}$

Compute the number of vinyl tiles, measuring 28 inches on each side, needed to tile a kitchen measuring 102 ft. by 18 ft.

ratelena [41]

Answer:

338 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the measurements of the kitchen from feet to inches by multiplying each measurement by 12.

102 * 12 = 1224 18 * 12 = 216

Now multiply these answers together.

1224 * 216 = 264,384 square inches

Now find the area of the vinyl tiles.

28 * 28 = 784 square inches

Now find how many 784 square inch tiles are needed to cover a 264,384 square inch kitchen.

264,384 / 784 = 337.224

Since you can't buy part of a tile, round your answer up.

338 tiles

A restaurant offers a $12 dinner special that has 77 choices for an appetizer, 1010 choices for an entrée, and 44 choices for

krok68 [10]

280 I'm assuming that this question is badly formatted and that the actual number of appetizers is 7, the number of entres is 10, and that there's 4 choices of desserts. So let's take each course by itself. You can choose 1 of 7 appetizers. So we have n = 7 After that, you chose an entre, so the number of possible meals to this point is n = 7 * 10 = 70 Finally, you finish off with a dessert, so the number of meals is: n = 70 * 4 = 280 Therefore the number of possible meals you can have is 280. Note: If the values of 77, 1010 and 44 aren't errors, but are actually correct, then the number of meals is n = 77 * 1010 * 44 = 3421880 But I believe that it's highly unlikely that the numbers in this problem are correct. Just imagine the amount of time it would take for someone to read a menu with over a thousand entres in it. And working in that kitchen would be an absolute nightmare.
