Mr. Kotter's rentals :
99 + 0.11(x - 100)
for 432 miles...
99 + 0.11(432 - 100) =
99 + 0.11(332) =
99 + 36.52 =
135.52 <==

Barbarino's rentals : 
75 + 0.15(x - 150)
for 432 miles...
75 + 0.15(432 - 150) =
75 + 0.15(282) =
75 + 42.30 =
117.30 <==

so the better deal is at Barbarino's rentals <===

when will they cost the same amount....
99 + 0.11(x - 100) = 75 + 0.15(x - 150)
99 + 0.11x - 11 = 75 + 0.15x - 22.50
88 + 0.11x = 52.50 + 0.15x
88 - 52.50 = 0.15x - 0.11x
35.50 = 0.04x
35.50/0.04 = x
887.5 = x <=== they will cost the same at 887.5 miles

The Great Wall is more than 20,000 kilometers long about 3/4 of it is considered properly preserved
yaroslaw [1]
97. The great wall is more than 20 000 kilometers long. And about ¾ of it is considered as properly preserved. I guess you are asking about the value of ¾ which is properly preserved in the said length of the great wall. => ¾ = 0.75 Thus, the formula would be like this: => 20 000 * .75 = 15 000 Thus, the ¾ value of great wall that is preserved is equals to 15 000 kilometers long,

Felicia bought a watch for $149 she puts $50 down if she pays $9 each week how long will it take felicia to pay off her watch?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

11 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

She bought the watch for $149

And paid $50 immediately.

She has $149-$50 left, which gives $99

If she pays $9 each week,

In two weeks, she would be paid $9+$9=$18

In three weeks $9+$9+$9=$27 then it will take her 99/9 weeks to pay off the watch

99/9

It will take her $11 to pay off the watch

The Tucker Gym charges a one time fee of $50 plus a $25 monthly membership
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

y = 50 + 25x.............(i)

y = 80 + 15x.............(ii)

x = 3

y = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

The tucker Gym charges a one time fee of $50 plus a $25 monthly membership charge.  

The NoFo health club charges a one time fee of $80 plus a $15 monthly membership fee.

Let

number of month = x

total cost = y

Tucker Gym

y = 50 + 25x.............(i)

NoFo Gym

y = 80 + 15x.............(ii)

combining the equation

y = 50 + 25x.............(i)

y = 80 + 15x.............(ii)

y - 50 = 25x

y/25 - 2 = x

insert x in equation (ii)

y = 80 + 15(y/25 - 2)

y = 80 + 3y/5 - 30

y = 50  + 3y/5

y - 3y/5 = 50

5y - 3y/5 = 50

2y/5 = 50

cross multiply

2y = 250

y = 250/2

y = 125

insert y in equation (i)

125 = 50 + 25x

125 - 50 = 25x

75 = 25x

x = 75/25

x = 3
