Suppose it takes 18 hours for a pipe to fill a tank of water, if the tank

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of tank be x

In 18 hours volume of tank filled = x

we have to find the volume of tank which is filled in 1 hours.

For that we divide LHS and RHS by 18

In 18/18 hours volume of tank filled = x/18

In 1 hours volume of tank filled = x/18

In 30 hours volume of tank emptied = x

we have to find the volume of tank which is emptied in 1 hours.

For that we divide LHS and RHS by 30

in 30/30 hours volume of tank filled = x/30

In 1 hours volume of tank filled = x/30

If tank is empty and one starts to fill it, two things will happen

it will start filling at rate of x/18 hours

But there is leak which will start to empty the tank at  x/30 hours

So , at any given time rate if filling of water will be rate of filling the tank- rate of emptying the tank

In 1 hour volume of tank filled if both filling and leaking takes place simultaneously =  x/18 -x/30 = (30-18)x/18*30 = 12x/18*30 = x/3*15 = x/45

In 1 hour volume of tank filled = x/45

in 1*45 hour volume of tank filled = x/45*45 = x

Thus, it will take 45 hours to fill the leaky tank  .

A bookstore costs $96 a day to keep open, and it spends $12 for each book that it sells. If each book sells for $18, what is the
asambeis [7]

Answer: The break even point is when they have sold 16 books and have made $288

Step-by-step explanation:  The costs are modeled in the equation y = 12x + 96.  x is the number of books sold.

The earnings are modeled by he equation y = 18x.

Substitute 18x for y and solve for x.

18x = 12x + 96  Subtract 12x from both sides.

6x = 96 Divide both sides by 6

x = 16

Substitute into the original equations to solve  for y

y = 12(16) + 96

y = 192 + 96

Y = 288

y = 18(16)

y = 288
