You have two unknown rates, so we need to develop two equations to solve for these unknowns (based on the information given on the problem statement):

5x + 10y = 725
x + y = 100

By substitution, we get:

5x + 10(100 - x) = 725
5x + 1000 - 10x = 725
-5x = 725 - 1000
-5x = -275
x = -275/-5 = 55

100 - 55 = 45

Thus:
The mechanic who worked for 5 hours charged his time at $55/hr, and the mechanic who worked for 10 hours charged his time at $45/hr.

To verify, plug and chug the results back into the original equations:

5(55) + 10(45) = 725
275 + 450 = 725
725 = 725 [OK]

55 + 45 = 100 [OK]

It's okey if you use a calculator :)
wel
The answer is A because -2/25 as a decimal is -0.2 so it has to be less than that.

Calculate S30 for the arithmetic sequence defined by {an}={3.1n-2}
timurjin [86]

Answer:

c) 1,381.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First term = 3.1 *1 - 2 = 1.1

2nd term = 3.1*2 - 2 =  4.2

3rd term = 3.1*3 - 2 = 7.3

so the common difference d = 3.1.

S30  = (30/2) [ 2* 1.1 + (30-1) * 3.1)]

= 1,381.5.
