A tour group split into two groups when waiting in line for food at a fast food counter. The first group bought 8 slices of pizz

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The cost of an slice of pizza is $3.94

Explanation:

Hi, we have to construct 2 equations with the information of the problem, the first one is " 8 slices of pizza and 7 soft drinks for $45.10".

$8P+7D=45.10$

And the second one, when "The second group bought 6 slices of pizza and 5 soft drinks for $33.34" is.

$6P+5D=33.34$

Where: P = pizza slices and D= soft drinks

We need to substract one equation from the other, but firs we need to equal one of the variables. In order to do so, we multiply our first equation by 5 and the second one for 7, therefore we get.

First equation

$40P+35D=225.5$

And the second one:

$42P+35D=233.38$

And now, we substract them and solve.

$40P+35D-(42P+35D)=225.5-233.38$

$40P-42P+35D-35D=-7.88$

$-2P=-7.88$

$P=\frac{-7.88}{-2} =3.94$

The cost of a slide of pizza is $3.94

In case you needed to find the cost of the soft drink, we just substitute P for 3.94 in any of the initial equations, that is:

$8(3.94)+7D=45.1$

$7D=13.58$

$D=1.94$

The cost of a soft drink is $1.94

Best of luck.

The ramp at railways station has a rough surface. but Why

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The ramp on a railway station has a rough surface to increase friction so that we do not slip while walking on it. If the surface is smooth, then the frictional force between the ramp and the feet becomes less and the chances of slipping are greater

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The maximum mortgage payment (PITI) a lender would allow for a conventional loan based on the housing expense ratio is:

$1,506.40

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Lisa works 40 hours at $18 an hour

Lisa weekly income = 40 * $18 = $720

Lisa monthly income = 40 *$18 * 4 = $2,880

Dave weekly income = $625

Dave's monthly income = $625 * 4 = 2,500

Total joint monthly income = $5,380

b) If Lisa and Dave, her husband, file jointly for taxes, then the maximum mortgage payment (PITI) they can make is 28% of the gross income.

Therefore PITI = $5,380 * 28% = $1,506.40

c) The housing expense ratio is the percentage of your gross monthly income devoted to housing expenses, which should not exceed 36% of your monthly or annual gross income. According to the general rule, the household expense payments, primarily rent or mortgage payments, cannot exceed more than 28% of the monthly or annual income.
