Steps:
let “x” be number of hrs
let “y” be total cost
Abe:
50x + 75 = y
Plumbing Service:
65x=y
Since both equations are equal to y, you can set them equal to each other.
65x = 50x + 75
isolate for x:
65x - 50x = 75
15x = 75
x = 5
therefore it will take 5 hours for each to cost the same. you should call Abe for any task more than 5 hours because it will be cheaper and you should call the Plumbing Service for any task less than 5 hours because it will be cheaper.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Use formula

where
I = interest
P = rpincipal
r = rate (as decimal)
t = time (in years)
In your case,
P = $800
r = 0.04 (4%)
t = 5,
so

Answer:
56 number of ways
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is a combination question since it involves selection.
Generally, if r objects are to be selected from n pool of objects, this can be done in nCr number of ways.
nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!
If a manager receives 8 applications for a specific position and wants to narrow it down to 5, the number of ways he can do this is 8C5
8C5 = 8!/(8-5)!5!
= 8!/3!5!
= 8*7*6*5!/3*2*5!
= 8*7*6/3*2
= 8*7
= 56 number of ways.
This means that the manager can rank 5 applications in 56 number of ways
Answer:
m∠FJH=60°
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is
JG bisects FJH, FJG= (2x + 4)° and GJH = (3x -9)°
What is FJH
we know that
m∠FJH=m∠FJG+m∠GJH -----> equation A
If ray JG is an angle bisector of ∠FJH
then
m∠FJG=m∠GJH -----> equation B
substitute the given values in equation B and solve for x
(2x + 4)°=(3x -9)°
3x-2x=4+9
x=13
Find the measure of angle FJH
m∠FJH=(2x + 4)°+(3x -9)°
substitute the value of x
m∠FJH=(2(13) + 4)°+(3(13) -9)°
m∠FJH=(30)°+(30)°
m∠FJH=60°
