Aliun [14]

Let x and y represent the numbers of gallons used by the 40 mpg and 35 mpg cars, respectively.
.. x +y = 40 . . . . . . . . . . .total consumption is 40 gallons
.. 40x +35y = 1525 . . . . total miles driven = 1525

Multiply the first equation by 40 and subtract the second.
.. 40(x +y) -(40x +35y) = 40(40) -(1525)
.. 5y = 75
.. y = 15
.. x = 40 -15 = 25

The 40 mpg car consumed 25 gallons.
The 35 mpg car consumed 15 gallons.

You are putting a rectangular hot tub on your back porch. It is 6 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. How much will it cost

sleet_krkn [62]

It costs $ 3.4 to fill the hot tub

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that, You are putting a rectangular hot tub on your back porch

The rectangular hot tub is of shape cuboid

The volume of cuboid is given as:

$\text{Volume of cuboid } = length \times width \times height$

It is 6 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 3 feet deep

Therefore,

length = 6 feet

width = 5 feet

height = 3 feet

Thus volume of rectangular hot tub is:

$volume = 6 \times 5 \times 3 = 90$

Thus volume of rectangular tub is $90 ft^3$

Convert feet to gallons

We know that,

1 cubic feet = 7.48052 gallon

Therefore,

90 cubic feet = 7.48052 x 90 = 673.247

Thus gallons of water tub can hold is 673.247 gallons

Given that it costs $ 5 per 1000 gallons

1000 gallons = $ 5

Therefore,

1 gallons = $ $\frac{5}{1000}$

Find for 673.247 gallons

673.247 gallons = $\frac{5}{1000} \times 673.247 = 3.366235 \approx 3.4$

Thus it costs $ 3.4 to fill the hot tub

A restaurant adds a 20% tip to the bills of parties of 6 or more people. Suppose a server waits on five such tables. The bill

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

$218.70

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to first convert the percentage to the decimal.

20% = 0.2

Now, you need to find 20% of each bill by multiplying each bill by 0.2.

0.2(185.45) + 0.2(205.20) + 0.2(195.05) + 0.2(245.80) + 0.2(262.00)

Because of the distributive property, you can add up the bills and multiply the sum by 0.2.

0.2(185.45 + 205.20 + 195.05 + 245.80 + 262.00)

0.2(1093.50)

218.7

The waiter made $218.70 in tips.
