We have been given that Sterre charges $35 to file tax returns, but files for free if she only needs the easiest form. Also, she donates $2 to clean water projects per tax return she files.
Further we know that Sterre charged $7,245 and made a donation of $1,242 this year for the tax returns she filed.
Let x be the number of free income tax returns and y be the number of $35 income tax returns.
Therefore, we can set up:
Since she donates $2 for each return that she files, therefore, we can set up:
Therefore,
Sterre filed 414 tax returns for free and filed 207 tax returns for $35.
Answer:
x = 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept looks like (x, 0); the coordinate 0 indicates that the point lies on the x-axis. If we start with 4/5x + 1/3 y= 1 and let y = 0, we will get an equation for the x-intercept:
(4/5)x + (1/3)(0) =1
Then 4/5x = 1, and (5/4)(4/5)x = (1)(4/5).
Thus, x = 4/5, and the x-intercept is (4/5, 0).
Answer:
The stickers are divided by groups of
2/10, 3/10 and 5/10
2/10 * 70 = 14
3/10 * 70 = 21
5/10 * 70 = 35
14 + 21 + 35 = 70
So, the stickers are allotted to the 3 children in a group of
14 to one child, 21 to another child, and 35 to the third child.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
t = 0.53 hr
Step-by-step explanation:
We write expressions for the distances walked by these two people, sum them up and set the sum equal to 4 miles:
(3.5 mph)(t) + (4mph)(t) = 4 mi
Combining these terms:
(7.5 mph)(t) = 4 mi
4 mi
Solving for t: t = ---------------- = 0.53 hr
7.5 mph
