Answer:

Megan paid $71,505 in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the information states that earnings of over 150,000 are taxed at a rate of 45%, to be able to find the amount Megan paid, you have to calculate the 45% of the amount she earned:

158,900*45%=71,505

According to this, the answer is that Megan paid $71,505 in total.

Yumi and Juan pick up litter along the highway at the same rate. Yumi picks up litter for 3 miles and takes two hours longer tha

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Juan's time = x
Yumi's time = x + 2
Yumi's distance = 3 miles
Juan's distance = 2 miles
Rate = distance/time
Juan's rate = 2/x
Yumi's rate = 3/(x + 2)
The rates are equal so:
2/x = 3/(x + 2)
2x + 4 = 3x
x = 4 hours
Yumi's time = 4 + 2 = 6 hours
The answer is D.

If 400 dpi equals 3.6 and 800 equals 1.8. What does 1000 dpi equal to?

laiz [17]

Answer: The numbers are showing in descending order 3.6-1.8= 1.8 = 1.8 is half of 3.6 - therefore if 1200 is half again = 0.8 then what lies between 1.8 and 0.8? Answer to 1000 is 0.8 +5 = 1.3

The Fall Festival charges $0.75 per ticket for the rides. Kendall bought 18 tickets for rides and spent a total of $33.50 at the

PIT_PIT [208]

Part (a)

The variable y is the dependent variable and the variable x is the independent variable.

Part (b)

The cost of one ticket is $0.75. Therefore, the cost of 18 tickets will be:

$0.75\times 18=13.5$ dollars

Now, we know that Kendall spent her money only on ride tickets and fair admission and that she spent a total of $33.50.

Therefore, the price of the fair admission is: $33.50-$13.50=$20

If we use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets, the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission can be written as:

$y=0.75x+20$ ......Equation 1

Part (c)

The above equation is logical because, in general, the total cost of the rides will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought and that will be 0.75x. Now, even if one does not take any rides, that is when x=0, they still will have to pay for the fair admission, and thus their total cost, y=$20.

Likewise, any "additional" cost will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought as already suggested. Thus, the total cost will be the sum of the total ride ticket cost and the fixed fair admission cost. Thus, the above Equation 1 is the correct representative linear equation of the question given.

Tawnee is designing a playground in the shape of a rectangle. If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a sc

svetlana [45]

Answer:

We conclude that If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2, the perimeter of the new playground will be twice the perimeter of the original playground.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w)

i.e.

P = 2(l+w)

Here

'l' is the length

'w' is the width

Given that the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2

A scale factor of 2 means we need to multiply both length and width by 2.

i.e

P = 2× 2(l+w)

P' = 2 (2(l+w))

= 2P ∵ P = 2(l+w)

Therefore, we conclude that If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2, the perimeter of the new playground will be twice the perimeter of the original playground.
