Rob is saving to buy a new MP3 player. For every $11 he earns babysitting, he saves $6. On Saturday, Rob earned $44 babysitting.

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Rob saved $24 on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rob is saving to buy a new MP3 player.

Money earned in baby sitting = $11

Money saved =$6

First we will find the Percentage of amount he saved.

Percentage of amount he saved can calculated by Amount saved divided by total money earned and then multiplying by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Percentage of amount he saved = $\frac{6}{11} \times 100 \approx 54.55\%$

Now Given:

Money earned in babysitting on Saturday = $44

We need to find the Money he saved on Saturday.

Money Saved can be calculated by Percentage of amount he saved multiplying by Money earned in babysitting on Saturday and then divided by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Money Saved on Saturday = $\frac{54.55}{100}\times 44 = \$24$

Hence Rob saved $24 on Saturday.

-5x+2y=6<br> -x+2y=-2 <br> what is the solution to the system of equations?

dybincka [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 5x + 2y = 6 \\ - x + 2y = - 2 \\ \\ - 5x + 2y - ( - x + 2y) = 6 - ( - 2) \\ - 5x + 2y + x - 2y = 6 + 2 \\ - 4x = 8 \\ \frac{ - 4x}{ - 4} = \frac{8}{ - 4 } \\ x = (- 2) \\ \\ -5x + 2y = 6 \\ - 5 \times - 2 + 2y = 6 \\ 10 + 2y = 6 \\ 2y = 6 - 10 \\ 2y = - 4 \\ \frac{2y}{2} = \frac{ - 4}{2} \\ y = - 2 \\ now \: lets \: see \: whether \\ this \: equation \: is \: correct. \\ - x + 2y = - 2 \\ - ( - 2) + 2 \times - 2 = - 2 \\ 2 + 2 \times - 2 = - 2 \\ 2 - 4 = - 2 \\ - 2 = - 2 \\ yes \: this \: equation \: is \\ correct.$

A man can drive a motorboat 70 miles down the Colorado River in the same amount of time that he can drive 40 miles upstream. Fin

The speed of the current is 40.34 mph approximately.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, a man can drive a motorboat 70 miles down the Colorado River in the same amount of time that he can drive 40 miles upstream.

We have to find the speed of the current if the speed of the boat is 11 mph in still water. Now, let the speed of river be a mph. Then, speed of boat in upstream will be a-11 mph and speed in downstream will be a+11 mph.

And, we know that, $\text{ distance } =\text{ speed }\times \text{ time }$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { So, for upstream } \rightarrow 40=(a-11) \times \text { time taken } \rightarrow \text { time taken }=\frac{40}{a-11}} \\\\ {\text { And for downstream } \rightarrow 70=(a+11) \times \text { time taken } \rightarrow \text { time taken }=\frac{70}{a+11}}\end{array}$

We are given that, time taken for both are same. So $\frac{40}{a-11}=\frac{70}{a+11}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 40(a+11)=70(a-11)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 40 a+440=70 a-770} \\\\ {\rightarrow 70 a-40 a=770+440} \\\\ {\rightarrow 30 a=1210} \\\\ {\rightarrow a=40.33}\end{array}$
