kari74 [83]

Answer:

1131 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30,000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck holds 26 pallets of cargo, and each of the 18 tires of the fully loaded semi-truck bears approximately 3,300 pounds.

First of all, we will find weight of 18 tires by multiplying 18 by 3,300 as:

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=18\times 3,300$

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=59,400$

The weight of 26 pallets would be weight of 18 tires minus weight of unloaded truck.

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=59,400-30,000$

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=29,400$

Now, we will divide 29,400 by 26 to find average weight of one pallet of cargo.

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=\frac{29,400}{26}$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=1130.769230769$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}\approx 1131$

Therefore, the average weight of one pallet of cargo is approximately 1131 pounds.

Roberto wants to buy a $40 gift for his father. He finished one odd job in 4 hours at $3.75 an hour. He is now working at a job

Nikitich [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

amount left for the money to reach $40

=40-3.75

=36.25

using a method of proportion,

If $4 : 1 hour,then

$36.25 : ?

if more, less divides.

= 36.25 / 4 ×1

=36.25/4

=9.0625 approximately 9 hours

To make a profit, a company’s revenue must be greater than its operating costs. The company’s revenue is modeled by the expressi

myrzilka [38]

Revenue = 7.5x - 100
Operation Costs = 5.8x + 79.86

To break even, operation cost = Revenue
⇒ 7.5x - 100 = 5.8x + 79.86
7.5x = 5.8x + 179.86 (Add 100 to both sides)

7.5x - 5.8x = 179.86
1.7x = 179.86
x = 105.8

This implies that the company will need to sell at least 106 items to make a profit.

The inequality that will determine the number of items at need to be sold to make a profit is x ≥ 106

The solution to the inequality is as follows

Revenue = 7.5x - 100
if x =106
Revenue = 7.5(106) - 100
Revenue = 695

Operational Cost = 5.8x + 79.86
if x = 106
Operational Cost = 5.8(106) + 79.86
Operational Cost = 694.66

Profit ≥ (695 - 694.66)
Profit ≥ 0.34

The company must sell at least 106 items to make a profit.

A stereo manufacturer makes three types of stereo systems, I, II, and III, with profits of $20, $30, and $40, respectively. No m

romanna [79]

So,

1. Type I profits $20
2. Type II profits $30
3. Type III profits $40
4. I/day < 100
5. Type I needs 5 hrs.
6. Type II needs 10 hrs.
7. Type III needs 15 hrs.
8. Total hrs. available: 2000 hrs.

Every +5 hrs. spent yields an extra $10.
If we use 500 hrs. to make 100 Type I stereos, we will profit $2000.
If we use 500 hrs. to make 50 Type II stereos, we will profit $1500.
If we use 495 hrs. to make 33 Type III stereos, we will profit $1320.

We should use the first 500 hrs. to make Type I stereos.
We should use the last 1500 hrs. to make Type II stereos.

$2000 + $4500 = x
$6500 = x

There must be 100 Type I stereos made along with 150 Type II stereos made.

There are 135 people in a sport centre. 77 people use the gym. 62 people use the swimming pool. 65 people use the track. 27 peop

umka21 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is $\frac{2}{9}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 135 people in a sport centre.

Let the experiment be to pick a person from the sport centre who only uses exactly one of the facilities.

Total number of possible outcomes = 135

For the gym:

77 people use the gym.

27 people use the gym and the pool.

31 people use the gym and the track.

4 people use all three facilities.

Total number of people using only the gym are 77 - ( 27 + 31 + 4) = 15

For the swimming pool:

62 people use the swimming pool.

27 people use the gym and the pool.

23 people use the pool and the track.

4 people use all three facilities.

Total number of people using only the swimming pool are 62 - ( 27 + 23 + 4) = 8

For the tracks:

65 people use the track.

23 people use the pool and the track.

31 people use the gym and the track.

4 people use all three facilities.

Total number of people using only the tracks are 65 - ( 23 + 31 + 4) = 7

A person is selected at random.

Favorable outcomes = 7 + 8 + 15 = 30

Probability that the person uses exactly one of the facilities = $\frac{Favorable}{Total}$ = $\frac{30}{135} = \frac{2}{9}$ .
