Answer:
The family will pay 34722 cents more if they take the van
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Van = 12 miles per gallon
Sedan = 36 miles per gallon
Distance = 2500 miles
Gas = $2.50 per gallon
First, we need to determine the number of gallons that'll be used by both vehicles
This is done by dividing total distance by number of miles per gallon
Next, is to multiply this by the cost of gas per gallon;
This gives the total spendable amount on both vehicles
Next is to get the difference between these amounts
Multiply by 100 to convert to cents
(Approximated)
Hence;
<em>The family will pay 34722 cents more if they take the van</em>
Answer: The answer is 30 sq.ft/min and 25 sq.ft/min.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that there are two spray paint machines. The first machine (nicknamed "Paint Pro") is used for two hours and the second machine (nicknamed "Goldilocks") is used for an hour and a half. When they are working at the same time, they can paint 55 square feet per minute and together they painted 5850 square feet of wall.
Let 'x' and 'y' sq.ft/min be the portion of the wall painted by Paint Pro and Goldilocks respectively.
Then, according to the question, we have
Multiplying first equation by 4 and subtracting the second equation from it, we have
and
Thus, Paint Pro will paint 30 sq.feet per minute and Goldilocks will paint 25 sq.ft per minute.
