The company charges $1.40 per mile for a ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount paid by Gus for 6.5 miles = $12.00

Amount paid by Tony for 9 mile = $15.50

Let,

x be the cost per mile.

y be the pick up fee.

According to given statement;

6.5x+y=12.00    Eqn 1

9x+y=15.50       Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 2

(9x+y)-(6.5x+y)=15.50-12.00\\9x+y-6.5x-y=3.50\\2.5x=3.50

Dividing both sides by 2.5

\frac{2.5x}{2.5}=\frac{3.50}{2.5}\\x=1.40

The company charges $1.40 per mile for a ride.

Answer:

P(15

And we can find the probability with this difference and using the normal standard table:

P(-0.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the wages, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(17.15,2.25)  

Where \mu=17.15 and \sigma=2.25

We want to find this probability:

P(15

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Using this formula we have:

P(15

And we can find the probability with this difference and using the normal standard table:

P(-0.96

Add both instances of supplying vegetables in 1 day together.

42 kilograms + 58 kilograms = 100 kilograms

Since each kilogram of vegetables equals 16 rupees, 100 kilograms of vegetables is just this number multiplied by 100.

16 rupees * 100 = 1600 rupees
