Answer

Find out the price of the shoes last week .

To prove

As given

The price of a pair of shoes is $52.

The price is 15% lower than last week.

15 % is written in the decimal form

= \frac{15}{100}

= 0.15

15 % of the price of shoes = 0.15 × 52

                                           = 7.8

The price of the shoes last week = price of a pair of shoes this week + 15 % of the price of shoes

                                                        = 52 + 7.8

                                                         = $ 59.8

As

1 dollar = 100 cent

59.8 dollar = 59.8 × 100

                 = 5980 cent .

Therefore the  price of the shoes last week is 5980 cent .

Hours = 34 Income per hour = 12.5$ Service calls = 6 Income per call = 4 Therefore, total income = (time of working * income per hour) + (service calls * income per call) = (34*12.5) + (6*4) = 425+24 = 449

Ann is adding water to a swimming pool at a constant rate. The table below shows the amount of water in the pool after different
N76 [4]

Answer:

(a)  As time increases, the amount of water in the pool increases.

     11 gallons per minute

(b)  65 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

From inspection of the table, we can see that <u>as time increases, the amount of water in the pool increases</u>.

We are told that Ann adds water at a constant rate.  Therefore, this can be modeled as a linear function.  

The rate at which the water is increasing is the <em>rate of change</em> (which is also the <em>slope </em>of a linear function).

Choose 2 ordered pairs from the table:

\textsf{let}\:(x_1,y_1)=(8, 153)

\textsf{let}\:(x_2,y_2)=(12,197)

Input these into the slope formula:

\textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{197-153}{12-8}=\dfrac{44}{4}=11

Therefore, the rate at which the water in the pool is increasing is:

<u>11 gallons per minute</u>

To find the amount of water that was already in the pool when Ann started adding water, we need to create a linear equation using the found slope and one of the ordered pairs with the point-slope formula:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

\implies y-153=11(x-8)

\implies y-153=11x-88

\implies y=11x-88+153

\implies y=11x+65

When Ann had added no water, x = 0.  Therefore,

y=11(0)+65

y=65

So there was <u>65 gallons</u> of water in the pool before Ann starting adding water.
