Answer:

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ronnie charges $25 plus $20 per hour. This means that he made the following depending on how many hours he spent on it:

Hours        Dollars

0                 25 = 25 + 0(20)=25

1                  25+20 = 25 + 1(20)=45

2                  25+20+20 = 25 +2 (20)=65

3                  25+20+20+20 = 25 +3 (20)=85

4                  25+20+20+20+20 = 25 +4 (20)=105

5                  25+20+20+20+20+20 = 25 +5 (20)=125

......

n                  25+n(20)=175

To find how many hours he worked for $175 we solve the equation using inverse operations:

25+n(20)=175

25-25+n(20)=175-25

n(20)=150

n= 7.5 hours

Answer:

Ronnie spent 5 hours working.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, the total cost of the job is equal to the flat fee plus the result of multiplying the cost per hour for the number of hours which is:

c=25+30x, where:

c is the total cost of the job

x is the number of hours

Now, you can replace c with 175 and solve for x:

175=25+30x

175-25=30x

150=30x

x=150/30

x=5

According to this, the answer is that Ronnie spent 5 hours working.

1.Which explanation justifies how the area of a sector of a circle is derived?
ohaa [14]
The correct answer is 
<span>2) Calculate the area of the circle. Then, determine the central angle of the sector and divide this angle by 360° to get a fraction. Multiply ​the area of the circle​ by this fraction.
area of the circle is calculated by;
area = </span>πr² , where r- radius of circle
<span>the central angle of a circle is 360</span>°. Area of the circle is calculated for central angle of 360°. 
<span>Sector is when 2 arms/ radii enclose a central angle between them.
area for 360</span>° = πr²
<span>area for 1 </span>°    = area/ 360
<span>area for central angle of sector = area * angle/ 360
the angle of sector is divided by 360 and taken as a fraction .this fraction of the total area of the circle is taken as the area of the sector.

G and H are mutually exclusive events.<br> • P(G) = 0.5<br> • P(H) = 0.3<br> Find<br> P(H OR G).
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually exclusive:

P(G U H) = P(G) + P(H)

Because no intersection

P(G U H) = 0.5 + 0.3 = 0.8
