Emir flew home from vacation with a heavy bag. With the first airline he flew, Emir had to pay $20 to check his bag, plus $10 fo

r every pound that his bag was over the weight limit. The next flight was with another airline that had the same weight limit. Emir had to pay $5 per pound that his bag was over the weight limit, in addition to the checked bag fee of $30. By coincidence, the fees ended up being the same with both airlines. How large was each airline's fee?

Answer:

$27.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = pound over weight limit

Airline 1 = 20 + 10x

Airline 2 = 5 + 30x

Equate the fees

20 + 10x = 5 + 30x

20 - 5 = 30x - 10x

15 = 20x

x = 15/20

x = 0.75 pounds

How large was each airline's fee?

Airline 1 = 20 + 10x

= 20 + 10(0.75)

= 20 + 7.5

= $27.5

Airline 2 = 5 + 30x

= 5 + 30(0.75)

= 5 + 22.5

= $27.5

Ymorist [56]

<h2>∴The perimeter of the trapezoid= 30 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the parallel bases of a trapezoid measure 2 feet and 6 feet and the legs measured 9 feet and 13 feet.

∴The perimeter of the trapezoid = sum of all sides

                                                      = (2+6+9+13) feet

Miguel sells insurance. He earns a 6% commission on each sale he makes. Miguel has a goal of earning $600 in commissions. Miguel
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: $12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Miguel makes 6% on every sale he makes and wants to make $600 in commissions.

The amount he needs to sell is therefore the amount that has $600 as 5% of it.

Assume the amount of insurance needed is x.

x * 5% = 600

x = 600 / 5%

x = $12,000
