Answer:

$110

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fixed amount charged be f and the amount charged to clean a room be r.

To clean six rooms , the company would charge the following, the fixed amount for the call plus the amount charged per room multiplied by 6 which of course is 6r.

Writing this in equation form,

f + 6r = 250

In likewise manner, same applies for 8 rooms.

this gives f + 8r = 320

We now have 2 equations that we will need to solve simultaneously

f + 6r = 250........(i)

f + 8r = 320........(ii)

We subtract equation ii from I to yield

2r = 70, hence r = 70/2 = 35.

We now substitute this in equation 1

f + 6(35) = 250

f + 210 = 250

f = 250 - 210 = 40

Hence, we now know that the amount charged per call is $40 while the amount charged to clean a room is $35.

We now calculate the amount charged by the company to clean 2 rooms.

This is mathematically = f + 2r

40 + 2(35) = $110.

How many times smaller is 2 × 10-3 than 4 × 10-2? PLEASE HELP
NNADVOKAT [17]
<h2>The required "option A) 20" is correct.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller than 4 ×10^{-2}.

To find, the number of times smaller is 2 × 10^{-3} than 4 × 10^{-2} = ?

∴ x = \dfrac{4\times 10^{-2}}{2\times 10^{-3}}

= 2 × 10^{-2} × 10^{3}

Using the identity,

a^{m}=\dfrac{1}{a^{-m}}

= 2 × 10^{-2+3}

Using the identity,

a^{m} \timesa^{n}=a^{m+n}

= 2 × 10^{1}

= 2 × 10

= 20

Thus, the required "option A) 20" is correct.
