Answer: 6.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for each case:

Happy paws: the cost is equal to the fixed charge (19) plus the product of the charge per hour (3.50) and the number of hours (h).

Happy Paws Cost = 19+3.50h

Woof Watchers: the cost is equal to the fixed charge (11) plus the product of the charge per hour (4.75) and the number of hours (h).

Woof Watcher Cost = 11+ 4.75h

Since both costs must be equal:

Happy Paws Cost =Woof Watcher Cost

So:

19+3.50h = 11+ 4.75h

Solving for h:

19-11 = 4.75h-3.50h

8 = 1.25h

8/1.25 =h

h = 6.4 hours

Answer: The solutions are not viable because the amount of the sale cannot be negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution A = -5 is not viable because A represents the amount of sale in dollars and so cannot be a negative number. The minimum amount that a person can make from sales is $0 so anything less than that is not viable.

For instance, if you are selling shoes for $4 each and make no sales in the day, your sales would be $0. It is not possible that your sales would be -$4.

A local university has 2.815 Hispanic students out of a total student population of 20.250. Do the Hispanic students have propor
Over [174]
Given:
The race percent of population is
White:      45%
Hispanic: 27%
Black:       18%
Asian:        7%
Other:        3%

Part a.
The university has 2,815 Hispanic out of the 20,250 total population.
This is equivalent to (2815/20250)*100 = 13.9%
This percentage is less than 27%, so Hispanics do not have proportional representation.

Answer: The Hispanic students do not have proportional representation.

Part b.
Let x =  the extra number of Hispanic students needed for proportional representation of 27% or 0.27.
Then
(2815 + x)/20250 = 0.27
2815 + x = 20250*0.27 = 5467.5
x = 5467.5 - 2815 = 2652.5

This means that 2,653 extra Hispanic students are required for a population of 20,250 students.

Answer: 2,653 extra Hispanic students.
