Set up an equation to solve.
$8.50x (since it is the rate of change) + $12 (flat fee) = total money earned (or y). In this case, we have the total, amount, and are looking for x. Plug $139.50 into the equation.
$8.50x + $12 = $139.50
Now, solve for x.
$8.50x + $12-12 = $139.50-12 > <em>$8.50x = $127.5</em>
$8.50/8.50x = $127.5/8.50 > <em>x = 15</em>
So, the correct answer is <u>D. Olivia babysat for 15 hours.</u>
Answer:
4,8
Step-by-step explanation:
let the numbers be x and y
x+y=12
x-y=-4
add
2x=12-4=8
x=8/2=4
4+y=12
y=12-4=8
so numbers are 4 and 8
$4/3=$1.33 per pound.
$9/8 = $1.13 per pound.
The second one is cheaper.
This then allows us to see exactly how and where the subtended angle θ of a sector will fit into the sector formulas. Now we can replace the "once around" angle (that is, the 2π) for an entire circle with the measure of a sector's subtended angle θ, and this will give us the formulas for the area and arc length of that sector
