Answer:

  168 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance Tyler drives at the slower speed, and let y represent the distance at the higher speed. Using time = distance/speed, we can write equations for the total travel time:

  x/42 +y/105 = 2.5

  x/28 +y/60 = 4.0 . . . . . 1.5 hours more than the usual 2.5 hours

Multiplying the first equation by 210, we have ...

  5x +2y = 525

Multiplying the second equation by 420, we get ...

  15x +7y = 1680

Subtracting 3 times the first of these equations from the second, we have ...

  (15x +7y) -3(5x +2y) = (1680) -3(525)

  y = 105

Putting this into the very first equation, we get ...

  x/42 + 105/105 = 2.5

  x/42 = 1.5 . . . . . . subtract 1

  x = 63 . . . . . . . . .multiply by 42.

The total distance to Tyler's parents' house is ...

  63 km + 105 km = 168 km

Part of your job as manager is to count the cash for the daily bank deposit. When you count the cash, you have 47 ones, 22 fives
cluponka [151]

Answer:

$592.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Bills:

47 ones = 47*1 = $47

22 fives = 22*5 = $110

9 tens = 9*10 = $90

17 twenties = 17*20 = $340

Total Bills: 47+110+90+340 = $587

Coins:

67 pennies = 67*1 = $0.67

12 nickels = 12*5 = $0.60

9 dimes = 9*10 = $0.90

15 quaters = 15*25 = $3.75

Total Coins: 0.67+0.6+0.9+3.75 = $5.92

Total: $587+$5.92 = $592.92

Great freight a local shipping company charges .40 per pound for shipping if your shipping 20 pounds what would the cost be
masya89 [10]

Answer:

$8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

For every pound shipped, $0.40 is charged. This can be represented by the mathematical equation: y=0.4x, where x is the pounds to ship and y is the total cost. If we plug in 20 as x to find what the total cost would be, we would have the equation, y=0.4*20, and y would equal 8, meaning that the total cost is $8.00.

Felicia has $350 to deposit into two different savings accounts. Felicia will deposit $200 into Account I, which earns 4.5% annu
Alisiya [41]

Total price after 6 years in Account I is :

P _1=P_o+\dfrac{P_ort}{100}\\\\P_1=200+\dfrac{200\times 4.5 \times 6}{100}\\\\P_1=\$254

Total price after 6 years in Account II is :

P_2=P_o(1+\dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}\\\\P_2=150(1+\dfrac{3.34}{1})^{1\times 6}\\\\P_2=\$1002373.64

Total balance, T=P_1+P_2=1002373.64+254=\$1002627.64

Hence, this is the required solution.
