Answer:

68 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

1 week costs $11.50.

so, how many such weekly each cycles fit into the price of new machines ?

if they wait to long (to many weeks) they spend in total more money than buying a new machine.

but if they stay still below that max. number of weeks, they have at least the illusion that they are cheaper of with the weekly laundromat investment (but they forget, sooner or later they will need the new machines).

so the break even point is simply

782 / 11.5 = 68 weeks.

after 68 weeks it has cost them exactly the same amount of money, as if they had bought new machines right away at the beginning.

In a group of 60 students, 12 students take Algebra I, 18 students take Algebra II, and 8 students take both subjects. How many
vodomira [7]
Since 8 students take both, that leaves only 4 students who take Algebra I alone.
Likewise since 8 students take both, that leaves 10 who only take Algebra 2
So out of the 60, twenty two are taking either Alg I Alg Ii or both.

That leaves 38 people who are not taking either.
b. 38

You can set this up using a 2 circle venn diagram.  Just be sure to put the 8 who take both in first.

26 out of the 65 magazines at the bookstore are women's magazines. What percentage of the magazines at the bookstore are women's
egoroff_w [7]

The fraction \frac{26}{64} represents the number of women's magazines out of all the other magazines at the book store.

To find what percent of the magazines are women's magazines, we can turn \frac{26}{64} into a percent.

To write a fraction as a percent in lowest terms, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100 so to write 26/64 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 26/64 with 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

40% is the answer

2.1(2.3 + 2.1x) = 11.65 + x. Step by step equation please help
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2.1(2.3 + 2.1x) = 11.65 + x

Distribute

4.83+4.41x=11.65+x

bring 4.83 over (-)

4.41x=6.82+x

bring x over

4.41x-1(x)=6.82

4.41-1=3.41 so

3.41x=6.82

divide 3.41

x=2
