Answer:

529\text{ hours}

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Lisa​, an experienced shipping​ clerk, can fill a certain order in 1010 hours.Bill​, a new​ clerk, needs 1111 hours to do the same job.

TO FIND: Working​ together, how long will it take them to fill the​ order.

SOLUTION:

Total hours taken by Lisa =1010 hours

Total hours taken by Bill =1111 hours

Let the total time taken when working together be x hours

Now,

Total time taken by Lisa and Bill when working together

\frac{1}{1010}+\frac{1}{1111}=\frac{1}{x}

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{21}{101\times110}

x\approx529 hours

Hence Lisa and Bill will take 529 hours to fill the order when working together.

Write a function rule that gives the total cost c(p) of p pounds of sugar if each pound costs $0.42.
julia-pushkina [17]
Since a pound of sugar increases proportionally to the total cost of sugar bought, then the function can be written as:

c(p) = 0.42p

Where: c(p) = total cost of sugar bought
p = pounds of sugar

c(p) is a function of p, because c(p) depends on p.

Bianca’s Bike Shop made a profit of $54,000 last year. This year, the profits were 250% of last year’s. How much profit did Bian
Alexandra [31]
Since the percent increase is bigger than 100%, it definitely has to be more than 54,000.

so let's break this down:
250%= 100% + 100% + 50%

we know 100% is the whole price so if there are 2 100% we have to multiply the price by two!!!
54,000•2 = 108,000

now, 50% is half of the whole price, divide the price by two:
54,000÷2= 27,000

so add your results and you will get this!
108,000+27,000= 135,000
