We know nothing about Elizabeth hours, so that is where you assign the variable.

Elizabeth = X

Katie = X+3

Siobhan = X -1

Assuming this holds true over 3 weeks,

3(x+3) = 3X + 3(x-1)

3x + 9 = 3x + 3x - 3

3x + 9 = 6x - 3

0 = 6x - 3 - 3x - 9

0 = 3x - 12

12 = 3x

x=4

in one week:

Elizabeth volunteers 4 hours

Katie volunteers 7 hours

Siobhan volunteers 3 hours

over three weeks:

Elizabeth volunteers 12 hours

Katie volunteers 21 hours

Siobhan voluteers 9 hours

21 = 12 + 9, so yes it checks.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

(i) 30

(ii) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by drawing 3 rings for the Venn diagram.  Each ring represents either Audi, BMW, or Citroën.

Next, add the information provided in the problem statement.  We know that 20 choose BMW only.  Another 20 choose Citroën only.

We know the number who choose all 3 is the same as the number that choose BMW and Citroën, but not Audi.  We'll call this number x.

Similarly, we know that the number who choose all 3 is half of those choose Audi and BMW, but not Citroën.  So we'll say that number is 2x.

We know the total number of Audi votes is 48, the total number of BMW votes is 36, and the total number of Citroën votes is 34.

Finally, we know the total number of voters is 100, including those who voted for no favorites (we'll call that number n).

We know that BMW got 36 votes, so:

20 + x + x + 2x = 36

20 + 4x = 36

4x = 16

x = 4

We know that Citroën got 34 votes, so:

20 + x + x + z = 34

20 + 4 + 4 + z = 34

28 + z = 34

z = 6

We know that Audi got 48 votes:

y + 2x + x + z = 48

y + 2(4) + 4 + 6 = 48

y + 18 = 48

y = 30

Finally, we know that the total number of voters is 100.

20 + 20 + x + x + 2x + y + z + n = 100

20 + 20 + 4 + 4 + 2(4) + 30 + 6 + n = 100

92 + n = 100

n = 8

Jake drove 300 miles from his house to a soccer tournament. This graph shows the distance Jake had traveled (m) and the time tha
Bad White [126]

Part A. The trip starts at 8am which corresponds to 0 hrs, point (0hr, 0mi)

2hrs later it's 10am. .point (2hr, 140mi)

The average speed is the slope between 0 and 2 hrs. Remember the slope formula m = Δy/Δx  

m = (140 - 0) / (2 - 0)  

m = 70 mph

Part B. Average speed from 11am - 2pm  

11am is point (3hr, 140mi)  

2pm is point (6hr, 300mi)  

As you can see from the graph, the speed or slope changes at 1pm (5,260). You Can just use the start and end points.

m  = (300-140) / (6-3)  

m = 160/3

53.3 mph

* It comes out the same solution as if you average the two different slopes. 2hrs at 60mph + 1 hr at 40mph = (120 + 40)/3 = 160/3  

Part C.  Total average speed = total distance / total time driving

He went 70 mph for 2 hrs

stopped for an hour (slope is zero, no speed)

60 mph for 2hrs

40mph for 1 hr

300mi /5hr = 60mph

Your parents are buying a house for $187,500. They have a good credit rating, are making a 20% down payment, and expect to pay $
Lyrx [107]
$187,500 is cost of house. 20%, or $37,500 is the down payment. The loan amount would be $187,500 - $37,500 = $150,000. If we assume the annual rate of the loan is 4.65% Then the monthly rate would be 4.65%/12 = 0.3875% If the loan is $150,000, the interest is 0.3875% The interst for the first month is $150,000 * 0.3875% = $581.25. You stated that their payment is $1,575. So the amount that pays off the loan is $1,575 - $581.25 = $993.75. At the end of the month, they owe $150,000 - $993.75 = $149,006.25 For the second month, the amount of the payment that goes towards intrest is $149,006.25 * 0.3875% = $577.40. and the amount that goes towards the loan is $997.60. At the end of the second month they owe $148,008.65. Regarding realized income, we recommend a monthly loan payment not to exceed 28% of the monthly income. So if a payment of $1,575 is 28% of Gross, then the math is : $1,575 = 0.28*Gross. Gross = $5,625 monthly. About $67,500 annually. About $33.75 an hour.
