Hello,
The correct answer is D) -50.49 meters
STEPS:
17% of total distance
it has a total distance of 99 ft
so it descends 17% of 99
17% of 99=0.17 times 99=16.83 feet per minute
3 minutes is 3 times 16.83 feet down or 50.49 down
Hope this helps!!!! :)

17% of 99 is 16.83. Since that's only the distance it goes in one minute we have to multiply that by 3. 16.83 × 3 = 50.49. Since the elevator is moving down then it will be negative. The answer will be -50.49 meters.

Answer: -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Gym A charges 9 per hr Gym B charges 0.75 per 5 minutes....0.75/5 = 0.15 per minute...60 minutes in an hr.....60 * 0.15 = 9 per hr so Gym A and Gym B charge the same hourly rate
Simplifying 2x + 3y = 60 Solving 2x + 3y = 60 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3y' to each side of the equation. 2x + 3y + -3y = 60 + -3y Combine like terms: 3y + -3y = 0 2x + 0 = 60 + -3y 2x = 60 + -3y Divide each side by '2'. x = 30 + -1.5y Simplifying x = 30 + -1.5y
Hope this helps! :D
