Thaddeus shakes his head as he pays $12.37 to the clerk for lunch. Complaining to a friend, Thaddeus says, “Do you realize that

is 0.2% of my monthly income?” His friend replies, “I think you made a mistake. That should be 2%. You messed up on the decimal point.” (a) Assuming Thaddeus is not wrong, what is his monthly income? (b) If Thaddeus’ friend is correct, what is Thaddeus’ monthly income?

Pretty simple question, just set up the equation.
A) say Thad is right then equation is as follows:
X * 0.002 = 12.37
Where X is monthly income.
So to solve for X just divide 12.37 by 0.002 (0.2%)
6185$ per month. Which no offense to Thad, but means he’s probably some kind of software engineer or investment banker if he’s making that much a month. (Unlikely for Thad)

B) if he’s wrong then just set up again
X * 0.02 = 12.37
Where x = monthly income
So x= $618.5
More likely given he’s complaining about a 12$ lunch when inflation has the yelp one ($) sign restaurants charging 15 or 16 just for a meal with tip and tax.
Anyways my rant aside hope this helps.

A man walk for 2hr at 6km/h.he then cycled for a certain time at 16km/h.if he traveled 36km all together for how many hours did
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

t = 1.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A man walk for 2hr at 6 km/h.

He then cycled for a certain time at 16 km/h.

He travelled 36 km all together.

We need to find for how many hours did he cycle.

Distance walked in 2 hours = 2×6 = 12 km

Distance he cycled = 36-12 = 24 km

Let he cycled for t hours. So,

t=\dfrac{24}{16}\\\\t=1.5\ h

So, he cycles for 1.5 hours.

Can someone please help!

Answer:

(x, y ) → (- y, - x )

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the coordinates of corresponding vertices of the 2 triangles, that is

A(1, 7 ) → D(- 7, - 1 )

Note the coordinates of D are the negative reversals of A

Thus (x, y ) → (- y, - x )

the cost C (in dollars) of making n watches is represented by C = 15n + 85. How many watches are made when the cost is $385?
liberstina [14]
20 watches are made since 385 = 15n + 85. 385 - 85 is 300 and 300 divides by 15 is 20.
