Enid has to pay the employment agency $625

So first let's find the total amount Enid made which is $315 X 5 weeks = $1,575. Now let's get the 40% that is owed to the employment agency $1,575 X .40 = $630.

Riverside Elementary School is holding a school-wide election to choose a school color. Five-eighths of the votes were for blue,

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of votes to choose a color = x

Number of votes for blue = $\frac{5}{8}\times x$

Remaining votes = x - $\frac{5}{8}\times x$

= $\frac{8x-5x}{8}\times x$

= $\frac{3}{8}\times x$

Votes for green = $\frac{5}{9}\times (\text{Remaining votes})}$

= $\frac{5}{9}\times \frac{3x}{8}$

= $\frac{5}{24}\times x$

Finally remaining votes = $\frac{3x}{8}-\frac{5x}{24}$

= $\frac{9x-5x}{24}$

= $\frac{4x}{24}$

= $\frac{x}{6}$

Since these votes are for red therefore,

$\frac{x}{6}$ = 48

x = 48×6

= 288

a) Votes for blue are $\frac{5x}{8}$

Therefore, exact number for blue votes = $\frac{5\times 288}{8}$

= 5×36

= 180

b). Votes for green = $\frac{5x}{24}$

= $\frac{5\times 288}{24}$

= 60

c). Since 25 students were absent on that day of the vote, number of students at Riverside Elementary School = 288 + 25

= 313

d). Since seven tenths of the votes for blue were made by the girls.

Therefore, number of girls voted for blue = $\frac{7}{10}\times 180$

= 7×18

= 126

Since total votes made = 288

Therefore, half of the votes made = $\frac{288}{2}$

= 144

Now it's clear that number of votes made by girls is less than half of all the votes.

e). 126 girls voted for blue.

The point nearest to the origin on a line is at (4, -4). Find the standard form of the equation of the line.

Scrat [10]

Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.

The point nearest the origin is (a,b).

The line from the origin through the point is

$bx - ay = 0$

The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):

$ax + by = a^2 + b^2$

$ax + by -( a^2 + b^2) = 0$

That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:

$4 x - 4 y - 32 = 0$

$x - y - 8 = 0$

Question 5 of 10

LiRa [457]

Answer:

y=1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

if a linear equation has a parallel function then it's going to have to be the same slope as the equation. ie

y=2x+3

and

y=2x-2

are paralell
