A business owner pays $1,200 per month in rent and a total of $120 per hour in employee salary for each hour the store is open.

On average, the store brings in $200 in net sales per hour.
Which equation can be solved to determine the break-even point if x represents the number of hours per month the store is open?

200x – 120x = 1,200
120x + 200x = 1,200
200x + 1,200 = 120x
120x – 1,200 = 200x

Answer:

200x - 120x = 1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

The break-even point is when the amount of money he spends equals the amount he earns.

Let's see how much he earns and how much he spends per month:

He earns $200 per hour. If x represents the number of hours per month, we can write the earns as 200x.

He spends $1,200 per month and $120 per hour. We can write it as 1,200 + 120x.

So, we need 200x = 1,200 + 120x

We don't have this exact equation in our options but if we subtract 120x from both sides, we have:

200x - 120x = 1,200 + 120x - 120x

200x - 120x = 1,200

The correct answer is the first equation.

The mean life of a particular brand of light bulb is 1200 hours. If you know that at about 95% of this brand of bulbs will last

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

c) 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the mean life of a particular brand of light bulb is 1200 hours. About 95% of this brand of bulbs will last between 1100 and 1300 hours.

We will use z-score formula to solve our given problem.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$ , where,

$z=\text{z-score}$ ,

$x=\text{Sample score}$ ,

$\mu=\text{Mean}$ ,

$\sigma=\text{Standard deviation}$

We know that 95% of data points lies within two standard deviation of mean, so 1100 will correspond to a z-score of -2 and 1300 will correspond to a z-score of 2.

$-2=\frac{1000-1200}{\sigma}$

$-2=\frac{-100}{\sigma}$

$\sigma=\frac{-100}{-2}$

$\sigma=50$

We can use sample score 1300 and get same answer as:

$2=\frac{1300-1200}{\sigma}$

$2=\frac{100}{\sigma}$

$\sigma=\frac{100}{2}$

$\sigma=50$

Therefore, the standard deviation of the light bulbs’ life is 50 years.

M is the Midpoint of segment PQ. If PQ = 30 and PM = 3x, find the VALUE OF X<br>

NemiM [27]

Answer: X=5

Step-by-step explanation: If PQ equals 30 then PM will equal half of PQ. Which means that PM will equal 15, which means x= 5 because 3 times 5 equals fifteen.

Find the missing side round your answer to the nearest tenth

grigory [225]

Answer:

x ≈ 14.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the triangle is right then use Pythagoras' identity.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

x² + 15² = 21²

x² + 225 = 441 ( subtract 225 from both sides )

x² = 216 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{216}$ ≈ 14.7 ( to the nearest tenth )
