Truck A costs $600 more that Truck B. However, it burns 0.06 gallon/mile compared to 0.07 gallon/mile for truck B. Both trucks h

ave a useful life of 10 years. Salvage value of Truck B is $200 less than Truck A’s. The cost of fuel is $2.25/gallon. If the value of $ remains the same in 10 years, what is the number of miles driven per year (X) beyond which Truck A is a better option than Truck B?

Answer:

  1,778

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C and S represent the cost and salvage value of Truck B, respectively. Let X represent the number of miles per year that answers the question.

Truck A's cost for 10 years is ...

  A = C+600 +(0.06)(2.25)(10X) -(S+200)

Truck B's cost for 10 years is ...

  B = C +(0.07)(2.25)(10X) -S

We want to find X such that Truck A's cost is lower, so ...

  C -S +1.35X +400 < C -S +1.575X

  400 < 0.225X

  1777 7/9 < X

1778 miles driven per year (or more) makes Truck A a better option.

Bob is having a party and want to order some cake. there will be 57 guest and he wants to make sure that everyone gets a slice o
Dafna1 [17]
To find out which cake is better for the price, we need to multiply the cake amounts by how many cakes of that kind we need. You need 5 20cm cakes, so we multiply 5 by the price of the 20cm cake (13.50) to get $67.50. You need 3 25cm cakes, so 3 x 18.75 = 56.25.

20cm cake: $67.50
25cm cake: $56.25

Answer: The 25cm cake is cheaper for more people.

Tony’s class needs more than $500 for the school dance. So far, they have raised $200. They plan to have a car wash, charging $8

No, he is not correct for if they washed 37 cars they would have made a total of 296 dollars washing cars. Because this is an inequality, he needs to get a value equal too or greater than 300 dollars on car washes. Also, because he already has 200 dollars collected, you could write the inequality as "8x is greater than or equal to 300".

Express these numbers in standard form (a)5730(b)0.23(c)0.000231(d)7150000(e)500.8
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

5730 = 5.73×10³

0.23 = 2.3×10‐¹

0.000231 = 2.31×10-⁴

7150000 = 7.15×10⁶

500.8 = 5.008×10²

Given a data set consisting of 33 unique whole number observations, its five-number summary is: [19,32,47,61,77] how many observ
Dafna11 [192]

Given a data set consisting of 33 unique whole number observations, its five-number summary is: [19,32,47,61,77] how many observations are strictly less than 32?

Solution: The five number summary denotes:

Minimum = 19

First Quartile = 32

Median = 47

Third Quartile = 61

Maximum = 77

Since there are an odd number of observations (33) in the data set, the First Quartile (32) must be at the (33+1)/4 = 8.5th position, meaning there are 7 numbers less than 32.

Therefore, there are 7 observations that are strictly less than 32
