Answer:

Governor of State B: $120,340; Governor of State A: $169,320

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of this problem, let's set the salary of State B's governor as x. That would make the salary of State A's governor equal to x+48980. The following lists out how to solve this problem.

Governor B salary + Governor A salary = $48980

x+x+48980=289660

2x+48980=289660

2x=240680

x=120340

120340+48980=169320

Let x = salary for governor of state A
Let y = salary for governor of state B

Then x = y + 48980, since gov. of state A earns this much more than governor of state B.

Therefore we have x + y = 289660. Substitute for x.

(y + 48980) + y = 289660
2y + 48980 = 289660
2y = 240680
y = $120340, which is salary for governor B.

Now we substitute y into x = y + 48980
x = 120340 + 48980
x = $169320, which is salary for governor A.

At a bargain store.Tanya bought 5 items that each cost the same amount. Tony bought 6 items that each cost the same amount, but
Ray Of Light [21]

(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...

... 5x = 6(x -1.75)

(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.

... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x

... 0 = x -10.50

... 10.50 = x

(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50

... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value

(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.

The population of a town was 7652 in 2016. The population grows at a rate of 1.6% annually.
Serggg [28]

Answer:

(A) The population's growth rate in equation form is y = (0.016t * 7652) + 7652

(B)  y = (0.016t * 7652) + 7652 =

y = (0.016(8) * 7652) + 7652 =

y = (0.128 * 7652) + 7652 =

y = 979.456 + 7652 =

y = 8631.456 (Or About) 8631

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) Y = the total population of the town. 0.016 is 1.6% just in its original form. T = the year in which were trying to find the town's total population. 7652 is the total population of the town in 2016. With this information, the equation reads, The total population of the town (Y) is equal to 16% (0.016) of the current year's population (T) added to 2016's population of 7652. (This last sentence can also be read what is 1.6% of the towns population in the year were trying to find. Because the population is always growing, 1.6% gets multiplied as to scale with the total population in year T)

(B) We just substitute (T) for 2024, or 8 years after 2016 (2024-2016) and simplify the equation we made.
