Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
Answer:
80%
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price =$75.00
Sale price =$60.00
The percentage discount can be calculated by dividing the sale price by the original price multiplied by 100%.
So % discount = $60.00/$75.00 x 100%
0.8 x 100%
80%
Janelle got the dress on a discount of 80%.
This is so because she got the dress for a price less than the original price
The total cost for the entire life span of the deep fryer is computed below:
Brand P total cost =Purchase price + total electricity cost
= $144+($0.49x8x12x6)
=$426.24
Brand Q total cost =(Purchase price x 3)+ total electricity cost
=( $37.5x3)+($0.75x 8x12x6)
= $544.5
Difference = Brand Q-Brand P
=$544.5-$426.24
=$118.26
Robert will have to choose Brand P because it will be cheaper by $118.26 than Brand Q in their entire lifetime.
