If the amount of money the repeat costumers give=x

then

new costumers=x-3

the equation is

40x+18(x-3)=468

1.open parentheses

40x+18x-54=468

2. add 54 on both sides

40x+18x=522

3. add the x together

58x=522

4. divide by 58 both sides

x=9

Michael charges

Repeat costumer for 9 dollars

New costumers for 6 dollars

18z + 40x = 468

z = x-3 because they get charge 3 less

x = value repeat customers pay

18(x-3) + 40x = 468

distribute the 18

18x - 54 + 40x = 468

simplify

x=9

New customers = 9

because new get charged three less they get charged 6

A bucket that has a mass of 30 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 30 meter tall building. You have a ro
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

765 J

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Mass of bucket = 30 kg

Mass of rope = 0.3 kg/m

height of building= 30 meter

Now,

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the building = work done in lifting the rope + work done in lifting the sand

Or W = W1 + W2

Work done in lifting the rope is given as,

W1 = Force x displacement

W1 = (30,0)∫(0.2x .dx)

Integrating, we have;

W1 = [0.2x²/2] at boundary of 30 and 0

W1 = 0.1(30²)

W1 = 90 J

work done in lifting the sand is given as;

W2 = (30,0)∫(F .dx)

F = mx + c

Where, c = 30 - 15 = 15

m = (30 - 15)/(30 - 0)

m = 15/30 = 0.5

So,

F = 0.5x + 15

Thus,

W2 = (30,0)∫(0.5x + 15 .dx)

Integrating, we have;

W2 = (0.5x²/2) + 15x at boundary of 30 and 0

So,

W2 = (0.5 × 30²)/2) + 15(30)

W2 = 225 + 450

W2 = 675 J

Therefore,

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building,

W = 90 + 675

W = 765 J

Four brothers each bought two hotdogs and a bag of chips at the concession stand.if the bag of chips was $1.25,and the total was
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  $1.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The total purchase can be described by ...

  4(2h +1.25) = 18.20 . . . . where h is the price of a hot dog

  8h = 13.20 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5.00

  h = 1.65 . . . . . divide by 8

The price of a hot dog was $1.65.

The lifespans of meerkats in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average meerkat lives 10.410.410, point, 4 years; th
kati45 [8]

Answer:

99.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

The lifespans of meerkats in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average meerkat lives 10.4 years; the standard deviation is 1.9 years.

Use the empirical rule (68-95-99.7%) to estimate the probability of a meerkat living less than 16.1 years.

Solution:

The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution most of the data fall within three standard deviations (σ) of the mean (µ). That is  68% of the data falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% falls within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7%  falls within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ).

Therefore:

68% falls within (10.4 ± 1.9). 68% falls within 8.5 years to 12.3 years

95% falls within (10.4 ± 2*1.9). 95% falls within 6.6 years to 14.2 years

99.7% falls within (10.4 ± 3*1.9). 68% falls within 4.7 years to 16.1 years

Probability of a meerkat living less than 16.1 years = 100% - (100% - 99.7%)/2 = 100% - 0.15% = 99.85%

Researchers recorded that a group of bacteria grew from 100 to 7,000 in 14 hours. At this rate of growth, how many bacteria will
Alik [6]

The number of bacteria grown in 32 hours is 15771

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that,

Researchers recorded that a group of bacteria grew from 100 to 7,000 in 14 hours.

Therefore, the bacteria has grown from 100 to 7000 in 14 hours.

<u> To calculate number of bacteria grown in 14 hours :</u>

⇒ 7000 - 100 = 6900

6900 bacteria grows in 14 hours. We need to find out the growth of bacteria in 1 hour in order to calculate its growth in 32 hours.

<u>To calculate number of bacteria grown in 1 hour :</u>

⇒ Total bacteria growth in 14 hours / 14

⇒ 6900 / 14

⇒ 492.85

<u>To calculate number of bacteria grown in 32 hours :</u>

⇒ 492.85 × 32

⇒ 15771.2

⇒ 15771  (rounded to nearest whole number)

∴ The number of bacteria grown in 32 hours is 15771
