Blake saved
Option - A
<u>SOLUTION: </u>
Given, Blake and James are planning to go on a trip.
Blake already has some money saved.
Let the amount saved by Blake be .
She earns more by working overtime.
Then, total amount by Blake
James has more than 4 times the amount of money that Blake has saved.
Then, total amount by James will be
If they have in all, we have to find how much money had Blake originally saved
Now, total amount =
After 85 minutes of calls, there are $27.25 left on the card.
<h3>What is the remaining credit after 85 minutes of calls?</h3>
A linear equation in slope-intercept form is:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope.
If the line passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is:
In this case, we know that the line passes through the points (22, 36.7) and (52, 32,20)
(points of the form (time, dollars)).
So the slope is:
The linear equation is then:
y = -0.15*x + b
To find the value of b, we use the point (22. 36.7)
36.7 = -0.15*22 + b
36.7 + 0.15*22 = b = 40
Then the linear equation is:
y = -0.15*x +40
The amount remaining in the credit card after 85 minutes is given by evaluating the above equation in x = 85.
y = -0.15*85 + 40 = 27.25
This means that after 85 minutes of calls, there are $27.25 left on the card.
