The linear equation of relating two objects can be written in the form,
                                    y = ax + b 
Our x is the number of passenger and y is the weight (in tons). Using the first two conditions,
                                    10 = 60(a) + b
                                     13 = 84(a) + b
The values of a and b from the equations are 0.125 and 2.5. 
For 50-passenger bus,
                                    y = (50)(0.125) + 2.5
The value of y is 8.75.

Bhavik bought 333 liters of milk and 555 loaves of bread for a total of \$11$11dollar sign, 11. A month later, he bought 444 lit
AnnZ [28]

Let the price of 1 litre of milk be  x$

Let the price of 1 loaf of bread be y$

According to the problem

333x + 555y =11

444x+444y=10

On subtracting the two,

We get

(333x+555y=11) * 444

(444x+444y= 10) * 333

(-)     (-)         (-)

147852x + 246420y =4884

147852x + 147852y = 3330

(-)            (-)                  (-)

------------------------------                   

 98568y = 1554     

           y = 1554/98568     

              = 0.0157$          

                 =0.02$    

Price of 1 loaf of bread= 2 cents    

On putting the value of y 

333x + 555*0.0157 = 11333x  + 8.7135 = 11333x = 2.2865x = 2.2865/333x = 0.00068$   = 0.01$

Price of 1 litre of milk = 1 cent

A certain club has $50$ people, and $4$ members are running for president. Each club member votes for one of the $4$ candidates.
erastova [34]

Answer:

The number of different possible vote totals is 184.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that there are <em>N</em> = 50 people in a club.

The position of President is open. And there are <em>x</em> = 4 members running for he post of President.

So, there are <em>n</em> = <em>N</em> - <em>x</em> = 50 - 4 = 46 people voting for these 4 members.

Each member of the club has <em>x</em> = 4 possible choices.

So, the number of different possible vote totals are:

Number of different possible votes = <em>n</em> × <em>x</em>

                                                           = 46 × 4

                                                           = 184

Thus, the number of different possible vote totals is 184.

I need to increase the number of customers by 20% daily, I talk to an average of 8 customers per hour during an 8 hour shift so
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Before we figure out how many customers you will need to talk per day to reach your goal, let's calculate what is 20% of how many customers you normally talk to a day.


current no. = 8

goal = 8 + 20%

20% = 8 x 0.20

(a percent is really just a fraction with the percent number over 100)

20% = 1.60

goal = 8 + 1.60

goal = 9.60


However, there is no such thing as .60 of a person so we will have to round up. You will need to talk to 10 customers per day.

A rectangular prism is 3 units high, 2 units wide, and 5 units long. What is its surface area
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

62 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a rectangular prism = 2 ( wl + hl + hw)

Where,

w = width = 2 units

h = height = 3 units

l = length = 5 units

Surface area of a rectangular prism = 2 ( wl + hl + hw)

= 2 (2*5 + 3*5 + 3*2)

= 2 (10 + 15 + 6)

= 2 (31)

= 62 square units

Surface area of the rectangular prism = 62 square units
