Answer

Answer

The speedometer is likely to show the speed is either 36.0 mph or 44.0 mph.        

To prove

Formula

Percentage\ error = \frac{error\times 100}{Exact\ value}

Where error = |Approx value - Exact value |

First case

As given

A speedometer has a percent error of 10%. The actual speed of the car is 40 mph.    

Here

Percentage error = 10%

Exact value = 40 mph

error = - (Approx value - Exact value )

          = - (Approx value - 40 )

          = - Approx value + 40

Put in the formula

10 = \frac{(-Approx\ value + 40)\times 100}{40}

400 = {(-Approx\ value + 40)\times 100}

\frac{400}{100} =-Approx\ value + 40      

\4 =-Approx\ value + 40      

Thus

Approx value = 40 - 4

Approx value = 36 mph

Therefore Option (b) is correct .

Second Case

error =  (Approx value - Exact value )

          =  (Approx value - 40 )

          =  Approx value - 40

Put in the formula

10 = \frac{(Approx\ value - 40)\times 100}{40}

400 = {(Approx\ value - 40)\times 100}

\frac{400}{100} = Approx\ value - 40      

\4 = Approx\ value - 40      

Thus

Approx value = 40 + 4

Approx value = 44 mph

Therefore Option (c) is correct .

Jack is trying to make extra money on his summer vacation from school. He works two different jobs, earning $9 per hour washing
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

$57

9w+6d

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Earnings per hour for washing cars = $9

Earnings per hour for walking dogs = $6

Number of hours for which car washing is done = w

Number of hours taken for walking dogs = d

Earnings for w hours for washing cars = Per hour earnings multiplied by number of hours = $9w

Earnings for d hours for walking dogs = Per hour earnings multiplied by number of hours = $6d

Total earnings by both = $(9w+6d)

Now, given that

Number of hours spent washing cars = 5 hours

Number of hours spent walking dogs = 2 hours

Therefore, total earnings by both = 9 \times 5 + 6 \times 2 = <em>$57</em>
