Answer:

$2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the daily pay formula :

P(b)=5/2b+45

P(b) = employee’s total daily pay

b = number of bushels of peaches picked

Hence from the fórmula ; rate which employees are paid per bushel. Of peach picked is the gradient of the equation :

According to the intercept slope formula:

y = mx + c ; where m = slope or gradient

From the equation :

P(b)=5/2b+45

The slope or gradient is 5/2 ; hence, employees are paid $5/2 per bushel of peaches picked.

$5/2 = $2.50

A satellite in a 100-mile-high circular orbit around Earth has a velocity of approximately 17,500 miles per hour.If this velocit
AveGali [126]

Answer:

64.3 miles ( D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Circular orbit height ( from the center of the earth ) = 100 mile

angle between satellite and earth = 50°

escape velocity = √2 * 17500 =  24748.73 miles /hour

distance between surface of earth and satellite

x = cos ∅

∴ Cos ∅  = x / 100

x = cos 50° * 100   ≈ 64.3 miles

Paula has a dog that weighs 3 times as much as Carla's dog
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The weight of Paula's dog is 36 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

SO we would draw one box for the weight of Carla's dog. Then we would draw 3 boxes for the weight of Paula's dog.

To find how much does Paula's dog weigh we divide the total weight of the dogs by the total number of boxes.

So then you would calculate 48 divided by 4.

The weight of Carla's dog is 12 pounds.

Therefore the weight of Paula's dog is 3x12=3x10+3x2=30+6=36 pounds.

Pietro made 18 baskets during a basketball game.The number of 3 pointers are 3 more than half of the 2 point shots.how many type
blagie [28]

Total points is 23

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Total number of baskets = 18

Let the number of 2 pointer shots be x

Let the number of 3 pointer shots be y

According to the question:

y = \frac{x}{2} + 3                  -1

The equation can be formed as:

\frac{x}{2} + 3 + x = 18

On solving this equation further we get:

\frac{x+6+2x}{2} = 18\\\\9x = 36\\\\x = 4

Putting the value of x = 4 in equation 1

y = \frac{x}{2}+3\\ \\y = \frac{4}{2} + 3\\\\y = 5

Points for 2 pointer shots = 4 X 2

                                        = 8

Points for 3 pointer shots = 5 X 3

                                        = 15

Total points = 8 + 15

                  = 23

Therefore, total points is 23

Kelly blends coffee. She mixes brand A costing $6 per kilogram with brand B costing $8 per kilogram. How many kilograms of each
sukhopar [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x

be the kg of coffee of brand A in the mix and

y

be the kg of coffee of brand B in the mix.

The total kg must be

50

.

x

+

y

=

50

The cost per kg of the mix must br

$

7.20

. For this, the total cost of the mix will be

6

x

+

8

y

, so the total cost per kg of the mix will be

6

x

+

8

y

50

.

6

x

+

8

y

50

=

7.20

Now that we have our two equations, we can solve.

6

x

+

8

y

=

7.20

⋅

50

6

x

+

8

y

=

360

From the first equation, we can multiply both sides by

6

to get:

6

x

+

6

y

=

300

Subtracting, we get:

2

y

=

60

y

=

30

Thus, we need

30

kg of brand B in our mix. This means that

50

−

30

=

20

kg will be of brand A.

Abbey wants to use her savings of $1,325 to learn yoga. The total charges to learn yoga include a fixed registration fee of $35
Brums [2.3K]
So for this, this can be written into the equation y=50x+35 (x = number of months, y = total cost).

To solve this problem, we need to plug in 1325 into the y-variable and solve from there.

1325=50x+35

Subtract 35 on each side to get 1290=50x

Then just divide by 50 on each side, and your answer should be 25.8=x


And because we cannot go past budget, we will have to round down to 25. In context, the maximum amount of months Abbey can do is 25 months.
