Give a # that makes 10

Avon Edwards worked 45.5 hours at $5 per hour. He made $100 in tips but no bonuses. Anything over 40 hours is paid time-and-a-ha

posledela

Answer:

1. D

2. B

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

We can get Avon's earnings using the equation $W=HR+1.5VR+B+T$

Where W is his earnings

HR is the regular hours (40 hours in this case)

V is overtime hours (hours over 40, 45.5 - 40 = 5.5 hours)

B is bonus (no bonus)

T is tips ( $100 tips, given)

and R is the rate (which is $5 per hour)

Substituting the given info into the equation, we get:

$W=HR+1.5VR+B+T\\W=(40)(5)+1.5(5.5)(5)+0+100\\W=341.25$

So avon's earnings are $341.25

Answer choice D is right.

Question 2:

The other employee needs to work $x$ hours @ $15 per hour to equate or surpass $428. So we can set up the equation shown below and solve for x:

$(15)(x)=428\\x=\frac{428}{15}\\x=28.53$

Rounded to 1 decimal place, this is about 28.5 hours

Answer choice B is right.

8x+3y=4 -7x+5y=-34 Elimination using multiplication

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

x= 2 and y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 3y = 4 ---------------------------------(1)

-7x + 5y = -34 -----------------------------(2)

Multiply through equation (1) by 5 and multiply through equation(2) by 3

40x + 15y = 20 ----------------------------(3)

-21x + 15y =-102----------------------------(4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3)

61x = 122

Divide both-side of the equation by 61

61x/61 = 122/61

(At the left-hand side of the equation 61 will cancel-out 61 leaving us with just x, while at the left-hand side of the equation 122 will be divided by 61)

x = 122/61

x=2

Substitute x= 2 into equation (1)

8x + 3y = 4

8(2) + 3y = 4

16 + 3y = 4

Subtract 16 from both-side of the equation

16-16 + 3y = 4-16

3y = -12

Divide both-side of the equation by 3

3y/3 = -12/3

y = -4

x= 2 and y = -4

If a car reaches speeds of 0-100 mph in 0.8 seconds, how many mph will it reach in 1 second?

zvonat [6]

Answer:

125 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be calculated as a simple rule of 3.

In rule of 3 problems, you need to first identify the measures and whether they are direct or inverse to each other.

If they are direct to each other, if one value increases the other will increase too. For example, lets suppose that the Buffalo Bills have won 3 of 4 games. When there are 8 games, then will have won 6, keeping this proportion. Here, the measures are the number of games and the number of Buffalo Bills wins.

Now if they are inverse to each other, if one value increases the other will decrease. For example, if you travel at 60 mph, you will need 6 hours to arrive at your destination. At 80 mph, you will need less time. So, a the average speed increases, the time you need will decrease.

In this case the speeds is proportional to the time. So, if the time increases, the speed will increase too. It can be calculated by the following rule of 3.

Speed Time

100 mph - 0.8 seconds

x mph - 1 second

x = 100/0.8 = 125 mph.
