Answer:

Veronika's weight = 92 pounds

Kate's weight = 46 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Veronika's weight = x

Let Kate's weight = y

The sum of Veronika's and Kate's weight is 118 pounds.

x + y = 118

Veronika weighs 26 pounds more than Kate.

x = y + 26

How much do they weigh individually?

We substitute y + 26 for x in Equation 1

x + y = 118

y + 26 + y = 118

26 + 2y = 118

2y = 118 - 26

2y = 92

y = 92/2

y = 46 pounds

x = y + 26

x = 46 + 26

x = 92 pounds

Hence,

Veronika's weight = 92 pounds

Kate's weight = 46 pounds

A raft and a motorboat simultaneously leave from the same point and move down the river. After 2 hours the motorboat turns aroun
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of motorboat in still water and y mph be the speed of current.

A raft and a motorboat simultaneously leave from the same point and move down the river, then speeds down the river are:

        motorboat =  x + y mph

        raft = y mph

In two hours they will cover:

        motorboat = 2(x+y) miles

        raft = 2y miles

After 2 hours the motorboat turns around and starts moving towards the raft (against the current), so its speed is now x - y mph.

Let t be the time they move towards each other. In t hours, they cover

        motorboat = t(x - y) miles

        raft = ty miles

The distance from the starting point to the turning point is the same as the sum of the distances the raft covers and the motorboat covers after turning around, so

2(x+y)=2y+t(x-y)+ty \\ \\2x+2y=2y+tx-ty+ty\\ \\2x=tx\\ \\t=2\ hours

An automobile salesman receives a monthly bonus cheque if his commission income is at least $6,800.00 in a given month. There ar
Reika [66]

The salesman earns $850 per automobile he sells.

Since x represents the amount of automobiles the salesman sells, we can apply the commission as a coefficient to this variable. Therefore, the total commission that the salesman earns can be represented by $850x.

The bonus cheque is only received if the salesman's commission income is <em>at least </em>$6,800. 'at least' means that the salesman can still receive the cheque if his commission is exactly $6,800. The sign that we can use for this situation is the greater than or equal to sign, ≥.

The inequality that shows the commission income needed for the cheque is $850x ≥ $6,800. However, this question asks for the number of automobiles the salesman must sell to get the cheque.

Divide both sides by $850, as that represents his sales from one commission:

x ≥ 8

The inequality x ≥ 8 represents the amount of automobiles the salesman will need to sell to get the bonus cheque.

dsp73

Answer:

9.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, you would just divide the "other" category and the "total" category and then move the decimal over 2 spaces, because you need to multiply by 100 to turn your answer into a percent, so:

\frac{222}{2222} =0.09999...\\

Then once you multiply by 100, or move the decimal to the left 2 spaces, it becomes:

9.9%, which could be rounded to 10% or 9%.
