Answer:

Number of children = x = 330

Number of adults = y = 358

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of children = x

Number of adults = y

x + y = 688 (1)

1.75x + 2.00y = 1293.50 (2)

From (1)

x = 688 - y

Substitute x = 688 - y into (2)

1.75x + 2.00y = 1293.50

1.75(688 - y) + 2.00y = 1293.50

1,204 - 1.75y + 2.00y = 1293.50

- 1.75y + 2.00y = 1293.50 - 1,204

0.25y = 89.50

y = 358

Substitute y = 358 into (1)

x + y = 688

x + 358 = 688

x = 688 - 358

x = 330

Number of children = x = 330

Number of adults = y = 358

A construction company paid $85,000 for a new fork lift. The fork lift depreciates at a rate of 15% per year. How long will it t
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

  13.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay rate is 15%, so the decay factor is 1 - 15% = 0.85. Then the exponential equation for the value is ...

  v(t) = 85000·0.85^t

We can set v(t) = 10,000 and solve for t:

  10000 = 85000·0.85^t

  10000/85000 = 0.85^t . . . . divide by 85000

  log(2/17) = t·log(0.85) . . . . . .reduce fraction, take logs

  t = log(2/17)/log(0.85) ≈ 13.2

It will take about 13.2 years for the value to fall below $10,000.

A new solid is created by cutting a right rectangular prism from a cube. The right rectangular prism has a length
Mila [183]

Volume of solid created  = 85m^{3}.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have , A new solid is created by cutting a right rectangular prism from a cube. The right rectangular prism has a length  of 5 m, a width of 4 m, and a height of 2 m. The side lengths of the cube are 5 m . Volume of solid created = Volume of cube  - Volume of rectangular prism

Volume of cube = side^{3}

⇒ Volume1 = side^{3}

⇒ Volume1 = 5^{3}

⇒ Volume1 = 125m^{3}

Volume of rectangular prism = wlh

⇒ Volume2 = wlh

⇒ Volume2 = 5(4)(2)

⇒ Volume2 = 40m^{3}

Now,  Volume of solid created = Volume of cube  - Volume of rectangular prism

⇒ Volume of solid created  = Volume1 - Volume2

⇒ Volume of solid created  = 125m^{3} - 40m^{3}

⇒ Volume of solid created  = 85m^{3}

∴ Volume of solid created  = 85m^{3}.
