Answer:
RS = 75.3
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to set up the proportion of corresponding sides.


7(RS) = 31(17)
= 527
RS = 527/7 = 75.2857...
= 75.3
Answer: her sales for the month of May is $55000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent her total sales for the month of May.
Each month she receives a 5% commission on all her sales of medical supplies up to $20,000. This means that for her first sales worth $20000, she earns a commission of
5/100 × 20000 = 1000
She also earns 8.5% on her total sales over $20,000. This means that for sales over $20000, she earns
8.5/100(x - 20000) = 0.085x - 1700
Her total commission for May was $3,975. The expression becomes
1000 + 0.085x - 1700 = 3975
0.085x = 3975 + 1700 - 1000
0.085x = 4675
x = 4675/0.085
x = 55000

Answer:
12 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c and h represent the filling times for the cold and hot taps, respectively. When the cold tap is 1/2 open, we presume that means the filling time becomes 2c.
In terms of baths per minute, the relationships are ...
1/c + 1/h = 1/3
1/(2c) +1/h = 1/(3 +1.8) . . . . . 1:48 min:sec is 1.8 minutes
Subtracting the first equation from twice the second, we get ...
2(1/(2c) +1/h) -(1/c +1/h) = 2(1/4.8) -(1/3)
1/h = 2/4.8 -1/3 = 1/12
h = 12
It takes the hot tap 12 minutes to fill the tub alone.
Picture of the question is attached below.
Answer: B.) For each temperature decrease of 10°F, the shop can expect to sell about 6 fluid ounces more of hot coffee.
Step-by-step explanation:
The model depicted by the line equation:
y = -5.9x + 850 shows a strong negative linear relationship between the amount of hot coffee per day, in fluid ounces, sold and the daily high temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, per day. This means that the sale of hit coffee decreases with increasing temperature daily, which makes sense. From the plot and line model equation, the shop can expect to sell about 6 fluid ounces less of hot coffee for each temperature ruse of 10F.
-5.9x approximately -6x decrease for every 10F temperature increase.
