Answer:

$y = 30 + 0.02x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Write an equation to present her daily earnings?

Let daily sales be represented by x and daily earnings be represented by y.

y is calculated as thus;

$y = Earnings + Commission * Sales$

$y = 30 + 2\% * x$

Convert percentage to decimal

$y = 30 + 0.02 * x$

$y = 30 + 0.02x$

Hence, her daily earnings is $y = 30 + 0.02x$

This question is confusing me

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

She went on the slide 8 times and on the roller coaster 4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We convert each statements to a mathematical equation.

Firstly, let's represent the number of times she went on the coaster with R and the number of times on the slide with S. We know quite well she went on 12 rides. Hence the summation of both number of times yield 12.

Mathematically, R + S = 12. ........(i)

Now we also know her total wait time was 3hours. Since an hour equals 60 minutes, her total wait time would equal 180 minutes.

To get a mathematical representation for the wait time, we multiply the number of roller coaster rides by 25 and that of the slides by 10.

Mathematically, 25R + 10S = 180 .......(ii)

Here we now have two equations that we can solve simultaneously.

From equation 1 we can say R = 12 - S. We can then substitute this into equation 2 to yield the following:

25(12 - s) + 10s = 180

300 - 25s + 10s = 180

300 - 15s = 180

15s = 300 - 180

15s = 120

S = 120/15

S = 8

S = 8 , and R = 12 - S = 12 - 8 = 4

Svetllana [295]

1 yd = 3 ft

This means the unit cost per feet is $4.99/3.

Let 'x' represent the length of the material in feet that you can be with $30.

Can somebody help me

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Y=5

You must first divide b (-10) by two and square it to know what you need to make a perfect square (25). You must then add or subtract the amount to make C (-13) into that number (add 38). Don't forget to do it on the other side too! (3 becomes 41) You then factor the left side. ((Y-5)^2=41) The result is your answer. (Y=5)

Suppose that a brand of lightbulb lasts on average 1730 hours with a standard deviation of 257 hours. Assume the life of the lig

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

P [ 1689 ≤ X ≤ 2267 ] = 54,88 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution

Mean μ₀ = 1730

Standard Deviation σ = 257

We need to calculate z scores for the values 1689 and 2267

We apply formula for z scores

z = ( X - μ₀ ) /σ

X = 1689 then

z = (1689 - 1730)/ 257 ⇒ z = - 41 / 257

z = - 0.1595

And from z table we get for z = - 0,1595

We have to interpolate

- 0,15 0,4364

- 0,16 0,4325

Δ = 0.01 0.0039

0,1595 - 0,15 = 0.0095

By rule of three

0,01 0,0039

0,0095 x ?? x = 0.0037

And 0,4364 - 0.0037 = 0,4327

Then P [ X ≤ 1689 ] = 0.4327 or P [ X ≤ 1689 ] = 43,27 %

And for the upper limit 2267 z score will be

z = ( X - 1730 ) / 257 ⇒ z = 537 / 257

z = 2.0894

Now from z table we find for score 2.0894

We interpolate and assume 0.9815

P [ X ≤ 2267 ] = 0,9815

Ths vale already contains th value of P [ X ≤ 1689 ] = 0.4327

Then we subtract to get 0,9815 - 0,4327 = 0,5488

Finally

P [ 1689 ≤ X ≤ 2267 ] = 0,5488 or P [ 1689 ≤ X ≤ 2267 ] = 54,88 %
