The correct question is
<span>Recently, the texas junior college teachers association annual conference was held in austin. at the time a taxi ride in austin was $ 1.75 for the first 1/5 of a mile and $ 0.25 for each additional 1/5 of a mile. if the distance from one of the convention hotels to the airport is 5.8 miles, how much will it cost to take a taxi from that hotel to the airport?

we know that
(1/5) miles is equal to 0.20 miles
so

for the first 0.20 miles----------> $1.75
</span>Remaining Distance = 5.8 - 0.2 miles = 5.6 miles
<span>5.6/(0.2) =28 (this is the number of (1/5)th of a mile after the 1st (1/5)th
</span><span>Each of these costs 0.25 dollars
</span><span>28*0.25 = 7 dollars

total cost=$1.75+$7------> $8.75

the answer is
$8.75</span>

Last week, it rained g inches. This week, the amount of rain decreased by 5%. Which expressions represent the amount of rain tha
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

0.95g

g - 0.05g

(1 - 0.05)g

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of last week's rain = g inches

this week = 5% decrease on last week's amount

5% of last week's amount = 5/100 × g = 0.05g

∴ This week's amount of rain = 0.05g decrease

∴ Amount of rain this week = (Amount of rain last week) - 0.05g

∴ Amount of rain this week = g - 0.05g

This can be simplified by factorizing the common term "g"

g - 0.05g = g(1 - 0.05) = 0.95g

If the population of a certain city increased 25% in two years, the new population was what percent of the old?
disa [49]

Answer:

125%

Step-by-step explanation:

This because if in origin the city was made up for example by 100,000 people, that was the 100% of the city. Now you add the 25% in two years and the city will be made by 125,000 people. So <em>100%+25%=125%</em><em>.</em><em> </em>

I think it's right
