Fund Raising. Suppose you have signed up for a bike-a-thon to raise money for charity. One person is sponsoring you at a rate of

$0.50 per mile. Each of the other sponsors plans to donate $15 no matter how far your bike. a) Write a system of equations to model the donation d for m miles biked. b) For how many miles will all sponsors donate the same amount?

Answer:

The system of equation is \left \{ {{d=15} \atop {d=0.5m}} \right..

After 30 miles all the sponsors donate the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of donated by each of the other sponsors = $15

Amount donating by one person per mile = $0.5

We need to write the system of equation to model the donation d for m miles biked.

Also We need to find the number of miles all sponsors donate the same amount.

Solution:

Let the amount donated be denoted by 'd'.

Let number of miles biked be denoted by 'm'.

Now we know that;

Amount of donated by each of the other sponsors = $15

so we can say that;

d=15

Also We know that;

Amount donating by one person per mile = $0.5

So we can say that;

d=0.5m

Hence The system of equation is \left \{ {{d=15} \atop {d=0.5m}} \right..

Now to find the number of miles when all the sponsors donate the same amount we will make both the equation equal we get;

0.5m=15

Dividing both side by 0.5 we get;

\frac{0.5m}{0.5}=\frac{15}{0.5}\\\\m=30\ miles

Hence After 30 miles all the sponsors donate the same amount.

Find the coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of parallelogram GHJK with vertices G (1,3) H (4,3) J (5,1) and K (2,1
Basile [38]

Answer: (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Diagonal</u> is a line connecting two opposite points of a form. In parallelograms, there two diagonals and they bisect each other, i.e., the point where the diagonals meet divide them into two segments with the same measure. In short, diagonals meet at their midpoint.

The way to determine midpoint is given by

(x,y) = {\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} },\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}

(x,y) = {\frac{1+5}{2} },\frac{3+1}{2}

(x,y) = (3,2)

The coordinates where diagonals of parallelogram GHJK intersect are (3,2).

the windows on a building are proportional to the size of the building. the height of each is 18in and the width is 11in if the
Elena-2011 [213]
You can set this up as 2 fractions equal to each other, like ratios.

18/11=108/x

Cross multiply and you get 18x=1,188

Now divide both sides by 18 and get x.

x=66.

If the height of the building is 108ft, the width is 66ft.

blondinia [14]
150 divided by 25 equals 6. 6 times 3 equals 18. This means that you will spend $18 on gas each week.

motikmotik

Given parameters;

  Let us solve this problem step by step;

Let us represent Simon's money by S

Kande's money by K

  • Simon has more money than Kande

               S > K

  •  if Simon gave Kande K20, they would have the same amount;

 if Simon gives $20, his money will be  S - 20 lesser;

      When Kande receives $20, his money will increase to K + 20

                     S - 20  = K + 20   ------ (i)

  • While if Kande gave Simon $22, Simon would then have twice as much as Kande;

          if Kande gave Simon $22, his money will be K - 22

    Simon's money, S + 22;

                  S + 22  = 2(K - 22)    ------ (ii)

Now we have set up two equations, let us solve;

         S - 20  = K + 20  ---- i

         S + 22  = 2(K - 22)  ;       S + 22  = 2K - 44  ---- ii

So,      S - 20  = K + 20

          S + 22  = 2K - 44

subtract both equations;

               -20 - 22  = (k -2k)  + 64

                   -42  = -k + 64

                       k  = 106

Using equation i, let us find S;

            S - 20 = K + 20

             S - 20  = 106 + 20

              S = 106 + 20 + 20  = 146

Therefore, Kande has $106 and Simon has $146
