Answer:

  $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Your two equations are ...

  • 4s +6t = 70
  • 2s +4t = 42

Double the second equation and subtract the first:

  2(2s +4t) -(4s +6t) = 2(42) -(70)

  2t = 14 . . . . . simplify

  t = 7 . . . . . . . divide by 2

The cost of each tie is $7.

If the revenue for the week is $2000 and the labor cost consists of two workers earning eight dollars per hour who work 40 hours
arsen [322]
To find the cost of labor for one worker, you multiply the wage by the number of hours worked. 

40 * 8 = 320

Because there are two workers, now you double it. 

320 * 2 = 640

To find the percentage of the revenue that this is, you do the labor cost divided by the revenue. 

640 / 2000 = 0.32

Move the decimal two places to the right to get the percentage. 

0.32 = 32%

The labor cost is 32% of the revenue.

A volcano in the approximate shape of a cone has a diameter of 16 km and a height of 1.95 km. Which estimate best approximates t
masha68 [24]
To find the approximate volume of the volcano, you will use the formula for finding the volume of a cone.

V = 1/3 x pi x r^2 x h
     1/3 x 3.14 x 8^2 x 1.95
V = 130.624

The approximate volume of the volcano is 131 cubic kilometers.
