Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 15

nevsk [136]

Answer: For the sum of 130

First: $90

Second: $40

Step-by-step explanation:

We write equations for each part of this situation.

<u>The Total Charge</u>

Together they charged 1550. This means 1550 is made up of the first mechanics rate for 15 hours and the second's rate for 5 hours. Lets call the first's rate a, so he charges 15a. The second's let's call b. He charges 5b. We add them together 15a+5b=1550.

<u>The Sum of the Rates</u>

Since the first's rate is a and the second is b, we can write a+b=130 since their sum is 130.

We solve for a and b by substituting one equation into another. Solve for the variable. Then substitute the value into the equation to find the other variable.

For a+b=130, rearrange to b=130-a and substitute into 15a+5b=1550.

15a + 5 (130-a)=1550

15a+650-5a=1550

10a+650-650=1550-650

10a=900

a=$90 was charged by the first mechanic.

We substitute to find the second mechanic's rate.

90+b=130

90-90+b=130-90

b= $40 was charged by the second mechanic

A pair of jeans was 30% off the original price. The sale resulted in a $24 discount.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We must consider the price of the Jeans as whole since it represents the full price of the jeans. The discount might be a limited only offer and does not represent the fullest price of the jeans.

To find the original price of the jeans we have two methods that in the end are going to lead to the same conclusion. The long method is to represent mathematically the information presented. Conceptually, we could interpret the statement saying that the original price minus 30% of the original price is equal to the original price minus the discount. Let us say the Original Price (OP)=x. then, mathematically we represent the statement as:

$x -0,3*x = x -24$

What we need to do now is to isolate x on one side of the equation. We have x as a common factor, so:

$x*(1-0,3)=x-24 \rightarrow 24+x*0,7=x$

$24=x-0,7*x \rightarrow 24 = x*(1-0,7)$

$24 = 0,3*x \rightarrow 24/0,3 =x \rightarrow x=80$

This one is the original price of the jeans: $80. There is a shortcut to this method, though. We know two things that are fundamental: the discount sale is $24 and the jeans are 30% off. These statements provide the same information; thus we can match them and say that:

$24 = 0,3*x \rightarrow 24/0,3 =x \rightarrow x=80$

And we find ourselves on the same conclusion.

Have a wonderful day :D

A bag holds 12 red marbles, 11 green

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

62.22%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how many total marbles there are:

12 + 11 + 17 + 5

= 45

Then, find how many marbles that are not blue:

12 + 11 + 5

= 28

Then, divide 28 by 45, and multiply by 100

(28/45) x 100

= 62.22% is the probability of not choosing a blue marble

-1/3x+2x=3 3/4 what does the variable represent?

svet-max [94.6K]

Start off by combining like terms on the LHS (the terms with x in them).

So we get $\frac{-1}{3}x+2x= \frac{-1}{3}x+ \frac{6}{3}x= \frac{-5}{3}x$

Replacing this result with what we had before on the LHS, we get $\frac{-5}{3}x=3 \frac{3}{4}= \frac{9}{4}$

⇒Solve for x (divide both sides $\frac{-5}{3}$ )
⇒Don't forget about reciprocity rules when dividing. This is the same as multiplying both sides by $\frac{3}{-5}$

⇒ $x= \frac{9}{4}( \frac{3}{-5})
$
⇒ $x= -\frac{27}{20}=-1\frac{7}{20}$ ***This is a proper fraction
