Thats uhhhhhh..... thats pretty cool.
105% =$34.02
100% (cost without sales tax) = 34.02/1.05 =$32.40
Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18
b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
The fixed charges for the pick up = $3
Charges per mile = $1.50
Let s denote the total miles driven and t be the total cost for the trip
This can be represented by the equation
t = 3 + 1.5s
Step 2:
Distance traveled by Jonathan in his trip = 10 miles
So cost for riding 10 miles is
t = 3 + 1.5(10) = 3 + 15 = $18
The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18
Step 3 :
If the distance traveled is m miles, then substituting s = m in the above equation we get the cost as 1.5 m + 3
Step 4 :
Answer :
a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18
b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3
Answer:
To obtain equivalent amount from both foods we can eat 10 ounces of Food I and 5 Ounces of food II
To obtain minimum cholesterol, the individual should eat only 21 ounces of food II and zero ounce of food for the daily supplement of the individual
Step-by-step explanation:
Food I contains 32×C + 10×E per ounce
Food II contains 20×C + 14×E
Here we have X × (Food I) + Y × (Food II) = 420 C + 170 E
32·X + 20·Y = 420 C
10·X + 14·Y = 170 E
Therefore
X = 10 and Y = 5
To minimize the cholesterol, we can increase amount of Food II to get
21 ounces of food II gives
420 units of vitamin E and 294 units of vitamin E with 273 units of cholesterol.
