Two friends work at different companies, P and S. Both companies use the number of hours that an employee works to calculate tha

t employee’s vacation hours. In Company P if you work 10 hours you get 0.4 vacation hours, while in Company S if you work 100 hours you get 7 vacation hours. What is the difference in each friend’s vacation hours if both work 2,080 hours?

Answer:

62.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For P:

Number of hours off on 10 hours of working=0.4

Number of hours on 2080 hours of working=2080/10*0.4

=83.2 hours

For S:

Number of hours off on 100 hours of working=7

Number of hours on 2080 hours of working=2080/100*7

=145.6 hours

The difference between the vacation hours of P and S is of 62.4 hours. S will get more hours of vacation.

Marie, Shelia, and Martha bought snacks for a girl's sleepover. They each bought the items shown in the following table at the l

creativ13 [48]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

x is the unit price of a bag of chips.

y is the unit price of liter of pop.

z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

$2x + 2y + z = 9.25$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

Replacing the <u>first equation on the second and the third:</u>

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50$

$x + 2y = 5.25$

$x = 5.25 - 2y$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

$x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12$

$-5x - 3y = -15.75$

$5x + 3y = 15.75$

Since $x = 5.25 - 2y$ :

$5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75$

$-7y = -10.5$

$y = \frac{10.5}{7}$

$y = 1.5$

Then:

$x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25$

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75$

The unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

If y=1/4 when x=5, find y when x=7, given that y directly with x

mariarad [96]

Answer:

7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y varies directly with x, the ratio of y to x is proportional.

... y / 7 = (1/4)/(5)

... y / 7 = 1 / 20 . . . . simplify

... y = 7/20 . . . . . multiply by 7

Given f(x)=4x+5 and g(x)= x^2+x; find (f∘g)(-5)<br> Please show all steps thank you

Greeley [361]

Answer:

$(f\circ g)(-5)=85$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

$\displaystyle f(x)=4x+5\text{ and } g(x)=x^2+x$

And we want to find:

$(f\circ g)(-5)$

This is equivalent to:

$\displaystyle =f(g(-5))$

So, we will evaluate g(-5) first, which yields:

$\displaystyle g(-5)=(-5)^2+(-5)=25-5=20$

So:

$=f(g(-5))=f(20)$

Then:

$\displaystyle f(20)=4(20)+5=80+5=85$

Therefore:

$(f\circ g)(-5)=85$

HELP PLEASEEE!!!

kodGreya [7K]

Answer: The correct answers are $45.15, $247.25 and $129

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the problems you need to multiply each percentage by his gross monthly pay.

$2,150 x .021 = $45.15

$2,150 x .115 = $247.25

$2,150 x .06 = $129
