A machine that cost £35,000 is operated 8 hours a day in a 5-day week but one hour each day is used for test purposes. For use o

f the machine there are three scales of charges, the first at the rate of £5 an hour for private use, the second at £15 an hour for research work and the third at £40 an hour for commercial work. It is estimated that the number of hours charged at the first, second and third rates are in ratios 4:2:1. What percentage of total receipts do receipts from commercial work represent?

Total ratio = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 

Unit of one ratio = 35/7 = 5
So, Number of Hours for commercial work = 5(1) = 5

Total receipt = 20 * 5  +  15 * 10  + 1 * 40 = 100 + 150 + 40 = 290
<span>Commercial work receipt = 1 * 40 = 40

So, % = 40/290 * 100

= 400/29
= 13.79%

In short, Your Answer would be: 13.79%

Hope this helps!

I have 1 hundreds, 4 ones, 2 tens, and 1 tenths. What number am I?
DaniilM [7]
Since it reads 1 hundreds, that means 100. 4 ones mean 4 * 1, which is 4. 2 tens means 2 * 10, which is 20. Add those together and you get 124. Where it reads "1 tenth", that means 0.1
Therefore, the number is 124.1

Nico can do 42 push-ups in 3 minutes.
Alchen [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

It is said we need to find the unit rate.

What we can do is apply Unitary Method.

3 minutes = 42 push ups

1 minute = \sf{\bf{\dfrac{42}{3}}}

<u>So, 12 push ups per minute is the unit rate.</u>

In 5 minutes, he will do 12×5 = <u>60 push ups!</u>

Hope it helps :)

Write a new function that represents a transformation to the parent function if the new function shifts right 5 units and up 3 u
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Let's define two transformations.

Vertical translation.

If we have a function f(x), a vertical translation of N untis is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

If N is positive, then the translation is upwards

If N is negative, then the translation is downwards.

Horizontal translation.

If we have a function f(x), a horizontal translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x - N)

if N is positive, then the translation is to the right

If N is negative, then the translation is to the left.

Now we have a function g(x) that is a transformation of a parent function f(x) (we actually do not know which parent function, so i assume f(x) = x^2) such that we have a shift right 5 units and up 3 units.

Then:

g(x) = f(x - 5) + 3

and again, using f(x) = x^2

g(x) = (x - 5)^2  + 3
