Answer:

9670 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height given (8219.5 ft) is 85% OF ORIGINAL, hence original is much higher. But how do we figure this out?

we translate word problem to equation.

8219.5 IS 85% of TOTAL

Firstly, 85% = 85/100 = 0.85

Remember, is means =

of means multiplication

So we have:

8219.5 = 0.85 * Total

Hence, total = [let total be 7]

8219.5 = 0.85 * t

t = 8219.5/0.85 = 9670 feet

solmaris [256]

Answer:

E. 55 hours.

Step by step:

Multiple $15x40, equals $600

Subtract $600 from $937.50, equals $337.50

50% more over 40 hours is $22.50

Divide $337.50 by $22.50, equals 15

Add 15 to 40, equals 45

So she worked 55 hours to get paid $937.50

5x^(-2)-17x^(-1)+6<br> i’m so confused pls help<br> will give brainliest
laila [671]

It's a quadratic equation in disguise. If you let y=x^{-1}, then y^2=x^{-2}, and we can rewrite the equation as

5y^2-17y+6=0

Solve for y however you like; we get y=\dfrac25 and y=3.

But we want to solve for x, so we have

y=x^{-1}=\dfrac25\implies x=\dfrac52

y=x^{-1}=3\implies x=\dfrac13

Answer:

1. The domain for the number of fruit cups is 0 minimum and 20 maximum.

   [0 < x < 20].

2. [10 < y < 70]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The domain is 0 to 20 because there are 20 people total who will each have a fruit cup

2. The range is $10 to $70 because the minimum price is $10 without any fruit cups and $70 when there are 20 fruit cups.
