Answer:

Company (1) charges $1.12 per mile and company (2) charges $0.85 per mile

Company (2) is $7.4 cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the tables given in the picture,

Let the equation representing the rental 'y' and distance traveled 'x' is represented by,

y = mx + b

For company (1),

Here m = per mile rental charges = Slope of the graph

b = Initial charges

Since slope of the line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given by,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Therefore, slope of the line passing through (30, 53.55) and (60, 87.15) will be,

m = \frac{87.15-53.55}{60-30} = $1.12 per mile

So the equation will be,

y = 1.12x + b

Since this line passes through (30, 53.55),

53.55 = 1.12(30) + b

b = 53.55 - 33.6

b = 19.95

So the expression representing charges for the company (1) will be,

y = 1.12x + 19.95

For company (2),

Per mile charges = slope of the line

m = \frac{78-56.75}{50-25}

m = $0.85 per mile

Equation for the charges will be,

y = 0.85x + b

Since this line passes through (25, 56.75),

56.75 = 0.85(25) + b

b = 56.75 - 21.25

b = 35.5

Therefore, equation representing total charges for company (2) will be,

y = 0.85x + 35.5

By comparing per mile charges,

Company (1) charges $1.12 per mile and company (2) charges $0.85 per mile

Steven plans to drive 85 km in rental truck.

Charges for company (1),

y = 1.12x + 19.95

y = 1.12(85) + 19.95

y = $115.15

Charges for company (2),

y = 0.85x + 35.5

y = 0.85(85) + 35.5

y = $107.75

Difference in charges of both the companies = 115.15 - 107.75 = $7.4

Therefore, company (2) is $7.4 cheaper.

Miquel created the table below to show how he uses the money he earns at work
lara [203]

<u>Complete Question with table is attached</u>

<u>Answer:</u>

Miguel will save money of $90 if he earns $120.00

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

The figure attached clearly shows the ratio of his earnings and savings. We have to find what would be the savings amount if he earn $120.00. So, first we have to calculate the percentage of ratio of his earnings and savings. As per the data given in the figure,

If he earns $10.00, he saves $7.50, calculate %amount he saves as below,

           \frac{\$ 7.50}{\$ 10.00} \times 100=0.075 \times 100=75 \%

Likewise, calculate for all given data. If he earns $50.00 then he saves $37.50

           \frac{\$ 37.50}{\$ 50.00} \times 100=0.75 \times 100=75 \%

If he earns  $150.00 and save $112.50,

           \frac{\$ 112.50}{\$ 150.00} \times 100=0.75 \times 100=75 \%

So, from all above, it clearly tells that Miguel saves 75% of amount from his earnings. Now, given earnings as $120.00. By finding 75% of $120.00, we can find his savings in that amount. So,

             \frac{75}{100} \times \$ 120=0.75 \times 120=\$ 90

Find the product: −5/3 (−2/3 )(−18)
Dovator [93]

Answer:

A) −20

Step-by-step explanation:

−5/3 (−2/3 )(−18)

Multiply the first and  second terms.  A negative times a negative is a positive

-5/3 * -2/3 = 10/9

10/9 * -18

Rewriting for easier math

-18/9 * 10

-2 * 10
