Ben and Landon took turns driving on a 820 mile road trip. Ben averaged 60 miles per hour and Landon averaged 56 miles per hour. The trip took them 14 hours. How many hours did Landon drive?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See below!

Explanation:

distance = speed * timespeed = distance/timetime = distance/speed

equation for distance:

Lets Ben hours be x and Landon hours be y,

60x + 56y = 820 .........equation 1

equation for time:

[tex]\frac{60x}{60}+ \frac{56x}{56} =14[/tex]

x + y = 14 .........equation 2

Make x the subject:

60x + 56y = 820

x = (820 - 56y)/60 ..........equation 3

x + y = 14

x = 14 - y ........equation 4

Solve equation 3 and 4 simultaneously:

14 - y =  (820 - 56y)/6060(14 - y) = 820 - 56y840 - 60y = 820 -56y840 - 820 = -56y + 60y20 = 4yy = 5

             [ Therefore Landon drove 5 hours ]

Extra's further investigated:

if y = 5

x = 14 - yx = 14 - 5x = 9

              [ Therefore Ben drove 9 hours ]

Answer 2

Answer:

Landon drove 5 hours (and Ben drove 9 hours)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B = number of miles Ben drove

Let L = number of miles Landon drove

Given The trip took them 14 hours

⇒ B + L = 14

Given, Ben averaged 60 miles per hour and Landon averaged 56 miles per hour. Ben and Landon took turns driving on a 820 mile road trip:

⇒ 60B + 56L = 820

Rewrite B + L = 14 to make B the subject, substitute into 60B + 56L = 820, and solve for L:

⇒ B = 14 - L

⇒ 60(14 - L) + 56L = 820

⇒ 840 - 60L + 56L = 820

⇒ 20 = 4L

⇒ L = 5

Therefore, Landon drove for 5 hours

Nora rings up an item that costs $86.25. After sales tax, the total is $91.08. What is the sales tax percentage?


Write your answer as a decimal using a percent sign (%). For example, 0.5% or 12.7%

Answers

Answer:

The sales tax is equal to 5.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve first we have to subtract the item's cost before sales tax from the total due. 91.08 - 86.25 = 4.83.

Next we take the amount we payed as tax and divide it by the pre-tax price. 4.83/86.25 = 0.056

Lastly we take 0.056 and convert it to a percentage. This can be accomplished by moving the decimal sign to 2 times to the left or multiplying the tax rate by 100.

The sales tax percentage is equal to 5.6%

Hope this helps you out :)

Answers

Answer:

They have already traveled 20.25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how far they've already traveled, we need to subtract the length of the road trip and the distance until their final destination.

Which list of points are solutions to the graph of y = 1/2x - 2​

Answers

Answer:

B) (20,8) , (30,13) , (40,18)

Step-by-step explanation:

To check: (20,8)

y = 1/2x - 2

8 = 1/2(20) - 2

8 = 10 - 2

8 = 8

This is true, which makes our point true.

To check: (30,13)

y = 1/2x - 2

13 = 1/2(30) - 2

13 = 15 - 2

13 = 13

This is true, which makes our point true.

To check: (40,18)

y = 1/2x - 2

18 = 1/2(40) - 2

18 = 20 - 2

18 = 18

This is true, which makes our point true.

A rectangle 9cm long is equal in area to a square which has a perimeter of 24cm. Find the width of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

:)

We know that the length of the rectangle is 9 cm, and it is equal in area to a square that has a perimeter of 24 cm. Since all sides of a square is equal, and a square has 4 sides, the area of the square would be 36. This is because 24/4 is 6, and 6*6 is 36. We now just need to find something multiplied by 9 that equals 36. In other words, 9x = 36. We can isolate 9 by dividing 9 from both sides. This gives us x = 4.

The width of the rectangle is 4 cm.

Joe used a total of 4 and 3/4 gallons of gas while driving his car. Each hour he was driving, he used 5/6 gallons of gas. What was the total number of hours he was driving?

Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answers

Answer:  5 & 7/10 hours

Work Shown:

4 & 3/4 = 4 + 3/4 = 4 + 0.75 = 4.75

total gas used = (gas used per hour)*(number of hours)

4.75 = (5/6)x

(5/6)*x = 4.75

x = (6/5)*4.75

x = 5.7

x = 57/10

x = (50+7)/10

x = 50/10 + 7/10

x = 5 + 7/10

x = 5 & 7/10

You rent an apartment that costs $1200 per month during the first year, but
the rent is set to go up $90 per year. What would be the monthly rent during
the 6th year of living in the apartment?

Answers

Answer:

In year 6 monthly rent would cost you $1650 and it would cost $19,800 for the whole year of year 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1200x12=14,400 = year 1

1290x12=15,480=year 2

1380x12=16,560=year 3

1470x12=17,640=year 4

1560x12=18,720=year 5

1650x12=19,800=year 6

The monthly rent during the 6th year of apartment is A = $ 1,650

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

After each year, the rent goes up by $90, so in the second year the rent would be $1200 + $90 = $1290 per month, in the third year it would be $1290 + $90 = $1380 per month, and so on

On simplifying the equation , we get

Therefore, during the 6th year of living in the apartment, the monthly rent would be:

A = $1200 + ($90 x 5)

A = $1200 + $450

A = $ 1,650

Hence , the monthly rent is A = $ 1,650
