Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the rate that was charged for Lara's time

       rate = dollars / hour

The use this rate to calculate how many hours it took to clean Roy's house, since the rates are the same.  Solve for hours.....

      rate for Lara = dollars / hour        =  $150 / 3 hour   =     $50 / hour

     rate for Roy = dollars / hour         Solve for hours

                                                            multiply both sides by hours

     (rate for Roy) (hour) = (dollars / hour) (hour)

     (rate for Roy) (hour) = (hour) (dollars / hour)       right side hours cancel

     (rate for Roy) (hour) = (dollars)     divide both sides by (rate for Roy)

     (rate for Roy) (hour) / (rate for Roy) = (dollars) / (rate for Roy)

                       now the rate for Roy on the leftside cancel

     (rate for Roy) (hour) / (rate for Roy) = (dollars) / (rate for Roy)

     (hour) = (dollars) / (rate for Roy)           Plug in $225 charged to Roy

                                                                     and the $50 / hour rate

   

       hour = $225 / ($50/hour)             ( 1 over 1 / hour )  = hour  

                = $(225/50) hour            think about  1 / (1/2)  = 2  the same with units

      hour =  4.5 hours

The cost of a company picnic varies directly as the number of employees attending the picnic. If a company picnic costs $487.50
Drupady [299]

The company picnic cost $ 1300 for 80 employees

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that cost of a company picnic varies directly as the number of employees attending the picnic

Let "c" be the company picnic cost

Let "n" be the number of employees attending the picnic

Therefore,

cost \propto \text{ number of employees attending picnic }

c \propto n\\\\c = kn

Where "k" is the constant of proportionality

c = kn ---------- eqn 1

<em><u>Given that company picnic costs $487.50 for 30 employees</u></em>

Therefore substitute c = 487.50 and n = 30

487.50 = k(30)\\\\k = \frac{487.50}{30} = 16.25

<em><u>How much does a company picnic cost for 80 employees?</u></em>

Substitute n = 80 and k = 16.25 in eqn 1

c = 16.25(80) = 1300

Thus $ 1300 is the cost for 80 employees

A cinema can hold 270 people at one performance 5/9 of the seats were occupied of the occupied seats 40% we occupied by concessi
Elza [17]

Question:

A cinema can hold 270 people at one performance 5/9 of the seats were occupied of the occupied seats 40% we occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

What is the number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders?.

Answer:

60 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of seats = 270

Occupied Seats = 5/9

Concessionary ticket holders = 40% of occupied Seats

Required

The number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders

First the number of occupied seat has to be calculated.

Occupied\ Seats = \frac{5}{9} * 270

Occupied\ Seats = \frac{1350}{9}

Occupied\ Seats = 150

Next is to determine the number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

Number = 40\%\ of\ occupied\ seats

Number = 40\%\ of\ 150

Convert percentage to decimal

Number = 0.4 * 150

Number = 60

<em>Hence, 60 seats were occupied by concessionary ticket holders.</em>
