Answer:

7.2\; \text{hours}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of this cistern be 1.

The first pipe fills the cistern at a rate of \displaystyle \frac{1}{12\; \text{hour}}.

In other words, each hour, the first pipe would fill \displaystyle \frac{1}{12} of the cistern every hour.

On the other hand, the second pipe fills the cistern at a rate of \displaystyle \frac{1}{18\; \text{hour}}.

This pipe would fill \displaystyle \frac{1}{18} of the cistern every hour.

Hence, when opened together, the two pipes would fill \displaystyle \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{18} = \frac{3}{36} + \frac{2}{36} = \frac{5}{36} of this cistern every hour.

At this rate, it would take \displaystyle \frac{36}{5}\; \text{hours} = 7.2\; \text{hours} for the two pipes to fill the entire cistern.

A clothing store sells a customer 3 T-shirts and 4 pairs of shorts for $83.
ss7ja [257]
3t + 4s = $83
4t + 1s = $50 (x 4)

16t + 4s = $200
3t + 4s = $83 (minus them£

13t = $117 (divide by 13)

t = $9

sub t into first equation.

3 x 9 = 27
27 + 4s = $83
4s = $56
s = $14

t = $9
s = $14

<h3>Answer:  Profit = 6.40 dollars</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Plug x = 80 into the equation to get

y = 0.12x

y = 0.12*80

y = 9.60

This means the store paid $9.60 for the rope. This amount of money is leaving the store owner's wallet or bank account. We'll keep this in mind for later.

-------------------

The graph shows the equation y = 0.20x

Note how the point (1, 0.20) is on the line to help see the slope right away. This trick only works when the line goes through the origin.

You could also use the slope formula to get this. The y intercept is 0 since the line goes through the origin.

This equation and graph show that the price per foot is $0.20, or it's 20 cents per foot.

Plug in x = 80 to find how much the store will make in revenue

y = 0.20x

y = 0.20*80

y = 16

The store makes $16 in revenue when it sells 80 ft of rope.

----------------------

The cost to the store was $9.60 found in the first section. The revenue was $16 found in section 2.

So,

profit = revenue - cost

profit = 16 - 9.60

profit = 6.40 dollars
