Wallet = belt + 31
jacket = 3 · belt

176 = belt + wallet + jacket

176 = belt + (belt + 31) + (3 · belt)
176 = (2 · belt) + 31 + (3 · belt)
176 = (5 · belt) + 31
5 ·belt = 145
belt = 29

Answer:  The required cost of the wallet is $60.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Mr Wong spent a total of $176 on a jacket a belt and a wallet.

The wallet cost $31 more than a belt and the jacket cost 3 times as much as the belt.

We are to find the cost of the wallet.

Let x, y and z represents the cost of the jacket, the belt and the wallet respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+y+z=176~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\z=y+37~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)\\\\x=3y~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Substituting the values of z and x from equations (ii) and (iii) in equation (i), we get

3y+y+y+31=176\\\\\Rightarrow 5y=176-31\\\\\Rightarrow 5y=145\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{145}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow y=29.

From equation (ii), we get

z=31+29=60.

Thus, the required cost of the wallet is $60.

patriot [66]
A=30000+0.03S and B=25000+0.05S.
When A=B, 5000=0.02S, so S=$250000 when the earnings are the same.
The slope of A is smaller than that of B. In excess of this value of S B pays more than A and below it A pays more than B.
So answer option B. (When S=0, clearly A is better than B. Put S=$300000, A pays $39000 and B pays $40000).

Answer:

I want to answer 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

As for  how to solve it I don't really know I would use process of elimination because the answer can't be so high that it's 45%  so that's out. Personally I think that 35% is pretty high to so my best educated guess would be between 25% and 15% . Sorry this isn't more helpful.

horsena [70]
<span>With the mean of 40k and standard deviation of 5k, we need to find P(x>=30k). P((30k-40k)/5k) = P(z<-2) = 1-0.0228 which is equal to 0.9772. There is a 97.72% chances that the starting salary will be at least 30k.</span>

Answer:

The amount of work required to remove all of the water by pumping it over the side = 3.12 × 10⁶ lbs.ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done in moving anything from point A to point B = Fx

For this setup,

If we take an elemental vertical height, dx, The volume would be A.dx

where A = Cross sectional Area = πr² = π(18)² = 1017.88 ft²

dV = 1017.88 dx

The elemental force on that part will be

dF = ρg dV

ρg = 63.8 lbs/ft³

dF = 63.8 × 1017.88 dx = 64940.5 dx

F = ∫dF = 64940.5 dx

W = Fx = (∫dF)x = ∫ 64940.5x dx = 64940.5 ∫ xdx

We'll be integrating from (11 - 6) ft to 11 ft because that's the total height it'll be pumped through

W = 64940.5 (x²/2)¹¹₅ = 64940.5((11² - 5²)/2) = 3.12 × 10⁶ lbs.ft
