Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total Number of scorings (both Teams) = 18

Let :

x = number of 5 point score ; y = number of 2 point score

Total points scored = 34 + 29 = 63

x + y = 18 - - - (1)

5x + 2y = 63 - - (2)

From (1)

y = 18 - x

In (2) ; we have ;

5x + 2(18 - x) = 63

5x + 36 - 2x = 63

3x + 36 = 63

3x = 63 - 36

3x = 27

x = 9

9 5-point plays

So it is basically extended by 75%. 25% of 3.5 is 0.875. 0.875 times 3 is 2.625. That is 3/4 of the segment. Now you have to add it to the 3.5. Your final answer would be 6.125.

Molly must drive across a bridge over a river eight times each week. Because the bridge is narrow and traffic is congested, Moll
oee [108]

Based on Molly's willingness to pay for the 8th trip, and the number of trips she can make over the bridge, her willingness to pay for the bridge repair would be<u> $1.00.</u>

<h3>What is Molly's willingness to pay for taxes to fix the bridge?</h3><h3 />

Molly's willingness to pay for trips is equal to the total consumer surplus she gets.

This means that her consumer surplus is $0.50.

With the bridge fixed, she can make 2 more trips than before because she can make 10 trips.

Her willingnesss to pay for the taxes will therefore be equal to her willingness to pay for the remaining trips:

= 0.50 x 2

= $1.00
