A mobile company charges a fixed rate of x cents per minute for the first 120 minutes of talk time and another rate of y cents p

er minute for each additional minute of talk time. Ethan paid $26.80 and $32.40 for 175 mins and 210 minutes of talk time on two different occasions respectively. find the amount he has to pay if he uses 140 mins of talk time.

Answer:

$21.2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem given, we express them as algebra so that we can easily solve;

    the total charge on a call greater than 120min is given as;

   120x + y(n - 120) = total cost of call

where n is the number of minutes which is greater than 120;

  •   Ethan paid $26.80  for 175 mins

  n = 175min here;

      120x + y(175 - 120) = 26.80

       120x + 55y = 26.80 ----- (I)

  • $32.40 for 210 minutes

      n = 210min

       120x + y(210 - 120) = 32.4

       120x + 90y = 32.4 ----- (II)

Now let us solve both equations for y and x;

      120x + 55y = 26.80 ----- (I)

     120x + 90y = 32.4 ----- (II)

subtract the two equations;

             90y - 55y = 32.4 - 26.8

                  35y = 5.6

                       y = \frac{5.6}{35}  = 0.16cents

then x;

       120x = 26.8 - 55y from equation I

       120x = 26.8 - 55(0.16)

       120x = 18

            x = \frac{18}{120}  = 0.15cents

Find the cost of 140min of talk time;

  n =140min;

      =  120(0.15) + 0.16(140 - 120)

      = 18 + 0.16(20)

      = 18 + 3.2

      = $21.2

Find the missing angles for every point here
dimulka [17.4K]

In order to find the missing angles, we can see that vertically opposite angles and corresponding angles are equal.

46° + 82° + No. 4 = 180°

No. 4 = 180° - 128° = 52°

Therefore: No. 4 = No. 1 = 52° (vertically opposite angles)

<h3>What is angle?</h3>

In geometry, an angle is actually known to be the figure that is created by two rays that actually meet at an end point that is common to the both rays. It is represented by the symbol: ∠.

So, we can see that:

Line a || Line b and Line c || Line d

46° = 7 (corresponding angles)

So, 46° + 82° + No. 4 = 180°

Thus, No. 4 = 180° - 128° = 52°

Therefore:

No. 4 = No. 1 = 52° (vertically opposite angles)

No. 2 = 180° - 52° = 128° (angles on a straight line)

No. 2 = No. 3 = 128° (vertically opposite angles)

No. 7 = No. 6 = 46° (vertically opposite angles)

No. 8 = 180° - 46° = 134° (angles on a straight line)

No. 8 = No. 5 = 134° (vertically opposite angles).

82° = No. 11 (vertically opposite angles)

No. 9 = 180° - 82° = 98° (angles on a straight line)

No. 9 = No. 10 = 98° (vertically opposite angles)

No. 9 = No. 15 = 98° (alternate angles)

No. 13 = No. 15 = 98° (vertically opposite angles)

No. 12 = No. 14 = 82° (vertically opposite angles)

46°= No. 17 (vertically opposite angles)

No. 18 = 180° - 46° = 134° (angles at a point)

No. 18 = No. 16 = 134° (vertically opposite angles)

No. 19 = 180° - (46° + 82°) = 52° (sum of angles in a triangle)

No. 19 = No. 22 = 52° (vertically opposite angles)

No. 20 = 180° - 52° = 128° (angles on a straight line).

No. 20 = No. 21 = 128° (vertically opposite angles)

No. 25 = No. 2 = 128° (corresponding angles)

No. 25 = No. 24 = 128° (vertically opposite angles)

No. 23 = No. 26° (vertically opposite angles).

So, all the angles are:

1= 52°

2= 128°

3= 128°

4= 52°

5= 134°

6= 46°

7= 46°

8=134°

9= 98°

10= 98°

11= 82°

12= 82°

13= 98°

14= 82°

15= 98°

16= 134°

17= 46°

18= 134°

19= 52°

20= 128°

21= 128°

22= 52°

23= 52°

24= 128°

25= 128°

26= 52°
