Answer:

  more than half are being used

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps easiest to understand is the most straightforward: figure the total number of seats and the number of seats being used. Check to see if that is more than half.

The 1 first-class carriage has usage of ...

  (3/8)(64 seats) = 24 seats.

The 6 standard carriages have usage of ...

  (7/13)(6 · 78 seats) = 252 seats.

The total number of seats used is ...

  24 + 252 = 276 . . . . seats used

__

The total number of seats on the train is ...

  1·64 +6·78 = 532 . . . . seats on the train

Half of the seats on the train will be ...

  532/2 = 266 seats . . . . half the seats

The 276 used seats are more than half of the total number. More than half the seats are being used.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Another way to look at this is to compare utilization to 1/2 in each carriage class.

  In first class 1/2 -3/8 = 1/8 of 64 seats = 8 seats fewer than 1/2 the seats are being used.

  In standard class, 7/13 -1/2 = 14/26 -13/26 = 1/26 of 78 seats = 3 seats more than 1/2 the seats are being used. There are 6 standard class carriages, so 6·3 = 18 more than half the seats in the standard-class carriages are being used.

This number is 10 more than the 8 under-utilized seats in first class, so <em>more than half the train seats are being used</em>.

$300 + $10c

Step-by-step explanation:

The base price is $300, which means that no matter how many customers he signs up, he still gets 300

The variable price, is 10 times the number of customers he signs up so 10 * c or 10c

The total price per week is The base price plus the variable price

Earnings is $300 + 10c

Answer:

Hence x =  60 and y = 50

e = 85 degrees

f = 158 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The sum of the interiror angle of the triangle is equal to the exterior

Given

Interior angles = y and 70

Exterior angle = 120 degrees

According to the law;

y + 70 = 120

y = 120-70

y = 50°

Sum of angle in the triangle is 180

x + y + 70 = 180

x + 50 + 70 = 180

x + 120 = 180

x = 180-120

x = 60

Hence x =  60 and y = 50

2) The sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees

40 + 55 + e = 180

95 + e = 180

e = 180 - 95

x = 85 degrees

3) Sum of angle at a point is 360 degrees

Hence 130 + 36.8 + 35.2 + f= 360

130 + 72 + f = 360

202 + f = 360

f = 360 - 202

f = 158 degrees
