<h3>Answer:</h3>

c. 150 miles

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

You want to find the number of miles (m) that make the charges equal.

... 40 +0.25m = 25 + 0.35m

... 15 = 0.10 m . . . . . . add -25-0.25m

... 150 = m . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of m

For 150 miles, the rental cost will be the same for both companies.

Mark got 20% raise for his salary. If this salary was $1800 what is the new salary
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Salutations!

Mark got 20% raise for his salary. If this salary was $1800 what is the new salary?

So lets solve this!

Mark got 20% "raise" for his salary. It clearly indicates that it is percentage of increase, so therefore, after solving out all the sum, we would be adding up 1800 to get the total of the new salary.

Lets form this into statements ----

Percentage increase = 20%

Mark's old salary = $1800

Mark's new salary = 20 × 1800/100

Cancel out the zeros to make it more logical ----

20 × 18/1

= 360.

Now, we need to add 1800 and 360 to get Mark's new salary

1800 + 360 = $2160.

Mark's new salary is $2160.

Hope I helped :D

Naitik exercised for
kati45 [8]
<h3>Answer:  Aryan spent more time exercising.</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

Use your calculator to convert each fraction into decimal form

2/3 = 0.67 approximately

3/4 = 0.75 exact

The decimal 0.75 is larger than 0.67, in which we can think of it like saying "75 is larger than 67".

So 0.67 < 0.75 which leads to 2/3 < 3/4.

Aryan spent more time exercising.

--------------

We could stop there, but if you wanted to know how much longer he spent exercising, then we subtract the two fractions to get

3/4 - 2/3

9/12 - 8/12

(9-8)/12

1/12

Aryan spent 1/12 of an hour longer exercising compared to Naitik

1/12 hour = (1/12)*60 = 60/12 = 5 minutes

He spent 5 extra minutes exercising.

----------------

Notes:

  • 2/3 hours = (2/3)*60 = 40 minutes
  • 3/4 hours = (3/4)*60 = 45 minutes
  • 45-40 = 5 extra minutes of exercise

The night watchman in a factory cannot guard both the safe in back and the cash register in front. The safe contains $6000, whil
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The guard should be positioned at the safe

Step-by-step explanation:

The night watchmen should be positioned to guard whichever place gives the highest expected value to the thief.

The expected value of robbing the safe is:

EV_{s} = \$ 6000*0.2\\EV_{s} = \$ 1200

The expected value of robbing the cash register is:

EV_{r} = \$ 1000*0.8\\EV_{r} = \$ 800

Therefore, the guard should be positioned at the safe since it yields a higher expected value to the thief in case he tries to rob it.
