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!

Answer:

w = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

ST = w + 6,

PR = w

From the diagram given, we can deduce that PR is the midsegment of ∆QST. Therefore, according to the midsegment theorem:

PR = ½ of ST

Plug in the values into the equation and solve for w.

w = \frac{1}{2}(w + 6)

w = \frac{w}{2} + 3 (distributive property of equality)

w - 3 = \frac{w}{2} (subtraction property of equality)

2(w - 3) = \frac{w}{2}*2 (multiplication property of equality)

2w - 6 = w

2w - 6 - 2w= w - 2w (subtraction property of equality)

- 6 = - w

Divide both sides by -1

6 = w

w = 6

Lelu [443]

Answer:

B. $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total payment, T = $160

Hourly rates = $t/hour

= total payment/total time worked

The question said, "worked 12 more hours than the amount she is paid per hour".

Total time worked = (12 + t) hour

Therefore, Hourly rates of payment, t = 160/(12 + t)

t^2 + 12t - 160 = 0

Solving the above quadratic equation,

t = -20 and 8

t = $8
