Answer:

255

Step-by-step explanation:

total cost paid = fixed cost + total variable cost

total variable cost = distance travelled x variable cost per unit

two equations can be derived from the question

a + 10b = 105  equation 1

a + 15b = 155   equation 2

a = fixed cost

b =  variable cost per unit

Subtract equation 1 from 2

5b = 50

b = 10

Substitute for b in equation 1

a + 10(10) = 105

a = 105 - 100 = 5

a = 5

cost of travelling a distance of 25km

5 + 10(25) = 255

densk [106]
I cannot see your picture, but if the plane cutting the cylinder is indeed perpendicular to the cylinder's base, then the cross section must be square or rectangular.  Going by the shape of most cylinders, I would guess that it is rectangular.

Using the given points and line, determine the slope<br><br> (0,32) and (100,212)
suter [353]
To solve for the slope given two lines, use the formula:

(y₂ - y₁)
----------
(x₂ - x₁)

Set one of the points as (x₁, y₁), and the other as (x₂, y₂).

(x₁, y₁) = <span>(0,32)
</span>(x₂, y₂) <span>= (100,212)

plug into corresponding places:


</span>(y₂ - y₁)         (212 - 32)     (180)
----------    =  -------------- = -------
(x₂ - x₁)         (100 - 0)       (100)


180/100 
is your slope

If you want simplified, it will be: 9/5

hope this helps
