Answer:

85x + 125 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the amount of hours worked

Let y = the total cost to pay for this plumber

85 is the hourly pay so we multiply by the amount of hours worked to find the cost per hours. We then add that to the initial cost of 125 and we get the total cost.

Paisley has 8\tfrac{1}{4}8 4 1 cups of yogurt to make smoothies. Each smoothie uses \tfrac{11}{16} 16 11 cup of yogurt. How

Ivenika [448]

Given:

Total Yogurt = $8\dfrac{1}{4}$ cups

Yogurt required for each smoothie = $\dfrac{11}{16}$ cup

To find:

The number of smoothies that Paisley can make with the yogurt.

Solution:

We know that,

$\text{Number of smoothies}=\dfrac{\text{Total yogurt}}{\text{Yogurt required for each smoothie}}$

Substituting the given values, we get

$\text{Number of smoothies}=\dfrac{8\dfrac{1}{4}}{\dfrac{11}{16}}$

$\text{Number of smoothies}=8\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{16}{11}$

$\text{Number of smoothies}=\dfrac{32+1}{4}\times \dfrac{16}{11}$

$\text{Number of smoothies}=\dfrac{33}{4}\times \dfrac{16}{11}$

$\text{Number of smoothies}=3\times 4$

$\text{Number of smoothies}=12$

Therefore, the number of smoothies is 12.

Each of the 59 members in a high school class is required to sign up for a minimum of one and a maximum of three academic clubs.

slega [8]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The the number of students who sign up for all three clubs = 6

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The total number of students in the class is given by:

Total number of students= Number of students in poetry club+Number of students in history club+Number of students in writing club-Number of students in exactly 2 clubs-2×Number of students in all the three clubs.

Based on the information we have:

Total number of students= 59

Number of students in poetry club= 22

Number of students in history club= 27

Number of students in writing club= 28

and number of students in exactly two clubs=6

Let the number of students in the three club= x

Hence, we have:

59=22+27+28-6-2x

i.e.

59=71-2x

i.e.

2x=71-59

i.e.

2x=12

i.e.

x=6

Hence, the answer is: 6
