Answer:

  £2857.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The price after the decrease is 84% of the original price, so we have ...

  £2400 = 0.84 · (original price)

  £2400/0.84 = original price ≈ £2857.14

Michael earns $21 per hour and works 40 hours per week. How many overtime hours would he have to worky in a week for his time-an
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

27 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular hours are paid normally, 21/hr hence working for 40 hours, Michael earns 40*21=$840

To work x hours paid overtime as 1.5 of the normal rate, the rate would be $21*1.5=$31.5/hr

X hours multiplied by rate of $31.5/hr should be at least equal to $840

31.5x>=840

X>=840/31.5>=26.6667 hours and when rounded off

X is 27 hours

A rectangular floor tile is shown it dimensions are given to the nearest 0.1 metres the tile is only able to sustain maximum pre
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

736 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the rectangular tile are:

Length = 2.3m

Width = 1.6m

The pressure exerted on a surface is given by the formula

p=\frac{F}{A}

where

p is the pressure

F is the force exerted

A is the area on which the force is exerted

In this problem, we have:

p=200 N/m^2 is the maximum pressure that the tile is able to sustain

A is the area of the tile, which can be calculated as the product between length and width, so:

A=L\cdot w =(2.3)(1.6)=3.68 m^2

Re-arranging the formula for F, we can find the maximum force that can be safely applied to the tile:

F=pA=(200)(3.68)=736 N

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The alternative hypothesis being tested in this example is that the tire life is of more than 60,000 miles, that is:

H_1: \mu > 60,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A tire manufacturer has a 60,000 mile warranty for tread life. The company wants to make sure the average tire lasts longer than 60,000 miles.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the tire life is of at most 60,000 miles, that is:

H_0: \mu \leq 60,000

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the tire life is of more than 60,000 miles, that is:

H_1: \mu > 60,000
