Answer:

(a) A = 0.00278787878787878x

(b) B = 0.00235294117647058x + 3

(c) The answers are as follows:

<u>For buying by credit card</u>

For 700 BWP: Cost = A = £1.95

For 800 BWP: Cost = A = £2.23

For 800 BWP: Cost = A = £2.79

<u>For buying from a Bureau de Change</u>

The equation (4) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: Cost = B = £4.65

For 800 BWP: Cost = B = $4.88

For 1000 BWP: Cost = B = £5.35

(d) You would have to buy 6,897.54 pulas for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) by credit card

For the exchange rate, we have:

8.25 BWP = £1 ⇒ 8.25 / 8.25 BWP = £1 / 8.25 = 1.00 BWP = £0.121212121212121

The expression can therefore be written as follows:

A = £0.121212121212121 * r * x ................. (1)

Where;

A = cost (including commission) of buying a particular number of Botswana pulas by credit card

r = commission on a credit card transaction = 2.3%, or 0.023

x = the number of pulas bought

Substituting for r into equation (1), we have:

A = £0.121212121212121 * 0.023 * x

A = 0.00278787878787878x ................. (2)

Equation (2) is the expression.

(b) from a Bureau de Change

For the exchange rate, we have

8.5 BWP = £1 ⇒ 8.5 / 8.5 BWP = £1 / 8.5 = 1.00 BWP = 0.117647058823529

B = (£0.117647058823529 * r * x) + F ................. (3)

Where;

B = cost (including commission) of buying a particular number of Botswana pulas by from a Bureau de Change.

r = commission charged by Bureau de Change. = 2%, or 0.02

x = the number of pulas bought

F = fee = £3

Substituting for r and F into equation (3), we have:

B = (£0.117647058823529 * 0.02 * x) + £3

B = 0.00235294117647058x + 3 ................. (4)

Equation (4) is the expression.

c. Evaluate each of these expressions for 700 BWP, 800 BWP, and 1000 BWP respectively.

<u>For buying by credit card</u>

The equation (2) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 700 = £1.95

For 800 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 800 = £2.23

For 800 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 1000 = £2.79

<u>For buying from a Bureau de Change</u>

The equation (4) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 700) + £3 = £1.65 + £3 = £4.65

For 800 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 800) + £3 = £1.88 + £3 = $4.88

For 1000 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 1000) + £3 = £2.35 + £3 = £5.35

d. Hazard a guess as to the number of pulas you would have to buy for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

This can be calculated by equating equations (2) and (4) and then solve for x as follows:

0.00278787878787878x = 0.00235294117647058x + 3

0.00278787878787878x - 0.00235294117647058x = 3

x(0.00278787878787878 - 0.00235294117647058) = 3

x0.0004349376114082 = 3

x = 3 / 0.0004349376114082

x = 6,897.54 pulas

Therefore, you would have to buy 6,897.54 pulas for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

Find all the missing angles: a, b, c, d.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a= 180-60-55=65

we know that the angle of a flat(?) ground would be 180, so we can take away the 60 and 55 to find a.

b=180-90-65=25

the sum of interior angle of a triangle would be 180, now we know what a is, also the right angle is 90, now we can take away the 90 and 65 to find b.  

c=25

c is 25, because two angles on both sides of a X is the same

The end point P of a line segment PQ(-3,6) and its mid point is (5,8) Find the coordinates of the end point Q
Georgia [21]

Answer:

  • (13, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Q have coordinates x and y

<u>Using midpoint formula we find the values of x and y</u>

  • (- 3 + x)/2 = 5 ⇒ -3 + x = 10 ⇒ x = 10 + 3 ⇒ x = 13
  • (6 + y)/2 = 8 ⇒ 6 + y = 16 ⇒ y = 16 - 6 ⇒ y = 10
  • Q = (13, 10)

Karina is designing a logo on a coordinate plane. The logo is a square whose area is 200 square units. She places a circle in th
Katarina [22]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage we must first find the area of the circle:

We can find the radius of the circle using the distance formula;

⇒ d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}

⇒ r = \sqrt{(6.3 - 0)^{2} + (1.6 - 0)^{2}}

⇒ r = 6.5

Now we calculate the area;

⇒ A = \pi r^{2}

⇒ A = \pi (6.5)^{2}

⇒ A = \frac{169}{4}\pi

To get the percentage we divide the area of the circle by the square’s are and multiply by 100;

⇒ Percentage = \frac{42.25\pi }{200} * 100

⇒ Percentage = 66 (2sf)
