Answer:

6.79

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let X denote the total amount of the job.

-The job has to be done in 5 hrs, therefore the portion done every hour is:

Rate=\frac{Total}{Time}\\\\=\frac{X}{5}\\\\=\frac{1}{5}X=0.2X

Therefore, the rate of Bill and Ted working jointly must equal the rate calculated above:

R_{Bill}=\frac{X}{19}\\\\=\frac{1}{19}X\\\\R_{Bill}+R_{Ted}=R_{required}\\\\\frac{1}{19}X+R_{Ted}=\frac{1}{5}X\\\\R_{Ted}=\frac{1}{5}X-\frac{1}{19}X\\\\=\frac{14}{95}X\\\\\therefore \frac{14}{95}X=1\ hr\\\\X=1\div \frac{14}{95}\\\\=6.7857\approx 6.79hrs

Hence, Bill working alone should complete the house in 6.79 hrs

shusha [124]
Let L represent lower level tickets and U upper level.

Starter equations:
L + U = 2368
78L + 59U = 157800

Solve simultaneous equations:
59L + 59U = 139712
so 19L = 18088
L = 952
U = 2368 - 952 = 1416

952 lower level tickets and 1416 upper level tickets were sold.

Add dress and shoes together:

30 + 25 = 55

1/5 off means the total after discount would be 4/5 ( 1 - 1/5 = 4/5)

Multiply total price by 4/5:

55 x 4/5 = (55 x4)/5 = 220/5 = 44

Total after discount is 44

Now add shipping:

44 + 8 = 52

Total paid = £52
