Charlotte’s weekly paycheck is based on the number of hours worked during the week and on the weekend. If she works 13 hours dur

ing the week and 14 hours on the weekend, she earns $250.90. If she works 15 hours during the week and 8 hours on the weekend, she earns $204.70. How much more does Charlotte earn per hour on the weekends than she earns during the week? Round to the nearest cent.

I am setting the week hourly rate to x, and the weekend to y.  Here is how the equation is set up:

13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70

This is a system of equations, and we can solve it by multiplying the top equation by 4, and the bottom equation by -7.  Now it equals:

52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90

Now we add these two equations together to get:

-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (divide both sides by 53) x = 8.10.  This is how much she makes per hour on a week day.

Now we can plug in our answer for x to find y.  I am going to use the first equation, but you could use either.

$105.30 + 14y = $250.90.  Subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40

Now we know that she makes $8.10 per hour on the week days, and $10.40 per hour on the weekends.  Subtracting 8.1 from 10.4, we figure out that she makes $2.30 more per hour on the weekends than week days.

Samantha mixes some amount of 25% sugar syrup with x grams of 10% sugar syrup.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

40 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

y * 25% + x * 10% = 120 * 15%

x = 120 - y

(120-y) * 10% = x * 10%

y * 25% + (120 - y ) * 10% = 120 * 15%

0.25y + 12 - 0.1y = 18

0.15y = 6

y = 6 / 0.15

y = 40

What is the value of f(-2) for the given function
scZoUnD [109]

Copy down the given function:

f(x)=3•2^x

Now replace both instances of x with -2:

f(-2) = 3*2^(-2).                                1

Recall that 2^(-2) is the same as ------ = 1/4

                                                      2^2

Therefore, f(-2) = 3*2^(-2) = 3*(1/4) = 3/4

Remember that exponentiation has to be carried out before multiplication.  That's why I did 2^(-2) before multiplying by 3.

What does a surface area/volume ratio of 6:1 mean for the cell’s ability to get the materials it needs that move across its surf
Kay [80]
<span>A small cell has a large Surface are/volume ratio and therefore can exchange molecules with it's external environment rapidly. 

Here, we can see the ratio is 6:1, which is very large ratio, so it will transport very rapidly. Thus,  it denotes that cell can easily get the material it needs that move across it's surface

Hope this helps!</span>
