Answer:
<em>a) She started walking back</em>
<em>b) 0.13 km/min</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph shows the distance traveled by Jo. She starts her journey (t=0) at a distance of 0 Km since the graph passes through the origin (0,0).
a) Ten minutes later she is at a distance of 1 km from the starting point and then the distance starts to drop. This means that at t=10 minutes, she started walking back.
b) To calculate the speed for the last 30 minutes of journey, we find the slope of the line. Select the points (30,0) and (60,4).
If a given line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:
Substituting:
v=0.13 km/min
<u>Answer:</u>
He must sell 190 posters make a profit of $300.
<u>Explanation: </u>
Given:
Base fee= $270
Fee for supplies= $2
Cost of poster=$5
To find:
The number of posters to be sold to get a profit of $300=?
Solution:
Let the number of posters sold be n.
Now, we know that,
profit = selling price – cost price
$ 300 = $ 5 for each poster – ( $ 270 base fee + $ 2 for each poster)
300 = 5 x n – (270 + 2 x n)
300 = 5n – 270 – 2n
5n – 2n = 300 + 270
3n = 570
n = 190
