Matt earns $4 and $3 for 1 load of laundry and 1 load of dishes respectively

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Matt gets paid at home for doing extra chores.

We have to find How much does Matt earn for completing each type of chore?

Let the amount for 1 load of laundry be m and amount for 1 load of dish be n.

Now, last week, he did 6 loads of laundry and 1 load of dishes, and his parents paid him $27.

Then, 6 \times amount for 1 load of laundry + 1 \times amount for 1 load of dish = 27

\rightarrow 6 \mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}=27 \rightarrow(1)

The week before, he finished 1 load of laundry and 9 loads of dishes, earning a total of $31

Then, 1 \times amount for 1 load of laundry + 9 \times amount for 1 load of laundry = 31  ⇒m + 9n = 31 ⇒ (2)

Now let us solve equations (1) and (2)

0 – 53n = - 159

-53n  = -159  

53n = 159

n = 3

Now, substitute n value in (1) ⇒ 6m + 3 = 27 ⇒ 6m = 24 ⇒ m = 4

Hence, matt earns $4 and $3 for 1 load of laundry and 1 load of dishes respectively.

A store that sells skis buys them from a manufacturer at a wholesale price of $60. The store's markup rate is 50%. What price do
horsena [70]

Answer:

$90

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you simply multiply $60 by 50%. Remember to change 50% into its decimal form (50% -> 0.5).

60 x 0.5 = 30

Now we add 30 to the original price of $60 to get our final answer.

$60 + 30 = $90

Lena is 10 years old. She asks her dad how old he is. He tells her that the lowest common multiple of their ages is 14 times the
Ksju [112]

Answer:

  35

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the factors of Lena's age are 2 and 5. The least common multiple must have these factors and the factors of 14, so will at least have factors of 2, 5, and 7.

Apparently, the dad's age is 5·7 = 35.

___

The GCF is 5; the LCM is 70 = 5×14.

_____

Sometimes, I use a little 3-part diagram to think about LCM and GCF. Here, it would look like ...

  (2 [5) 7]

where the numbers in curved brackets (2·5) and the numbers in square brackets [5·7] are factors of the two numbers of concern (Lena's age, her dad's age). The middle number in both brackets [5) is the greatest common factor, and the product of all three numbers is their least common multiple.

Here, the product of outside numbers, 2·7 = 14, represents the ratio of the LCM to the GCF. We know that Lena's age has factors of only 2 and 5, so the numbers in the diagram have to be (2[5)7], where 2 and 7 are on the ends and 5 is in the middle.
