Answer:

$750

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two people who won prize money and the total amount won is $2,350, we can set up an equation based on the verbal descriptions to assign a variable and solve.

Let 'x' = the amount won by the runner-up

Since the winner won '$100 more than twice the amount won by the runner-up':  winner = 2x + 100

The sum of the amount is $2,350, so:

x + (2x + 100) = 2350 or 3x + 100 = 2350

Subtract 100 from both sides:  3x + 100 - 100 = 2350 - 100 or 3x = 2250

Divide by 3 on both sides: 3x/3 = 2250/3

Solve for x:  x = $750

Kimani works for the city and is reimbursed for his mileage when traveling for work. In order to submit his reimbursement form,
IceJOKER [234]
The mileage from the Supermarket to the Library may be calculated using Pythagorean Theorem.

The coordinates of the Library are (7,10) and the coordinates of the Supermarket are (3,7).

So, the distance requested is √ [ (7-3)^2 + (10 - 7)^2 = √[ 4^2 + 3^2 = √ [16 + 9] =

= √25 = 5

So, he runs 5 miles.

And the reimbursement will be $0.50 / mile * 5 mile = $ 2.50.

Answer: option B) $ 2.50

Chandresh is helping his father paint the fence in their back yard. The fence is represented by the shaded part of the diagram b
Lyrx [107]

B. The total area painted is 864; they must buy two cans of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

A rectangle's area can be calculated by multiplying its length and its width. The wall is made up of 5 different types of rectangular walls. All walls are 8 feet tall but the length varies.

Step 2:

The area of the 20 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (20)(8) =160,

The area of the 10 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (10)(8) =80,

The area of the 5 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (5)(8) =40,

The area of the 4 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (4)(8) =32,

The area of the 15 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (15)(8) =120.

The area of all the walls = 432 square feet.

Since there are two sides for every wall, total area = 432(2)=864 square feet.

Step 3:

If one paint can covers 500 square feet,

the number of cans required to paint 864 square feet = \frac{864}{500} = 1.728 cans.

so 2 paint cans are needed to paint 864 square feet which is option B.

Jessica was sitting in row 9, seat 3 at a soccer game when she discovered her ticket was for row 1, seat 1. Write a rule to desc
Westkost [7]

rule is to  shift 8 units left & , shift 2 units down , Correct option C)  T<-8,-2> (Jessica) ,

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

Here we have , Jessica was sitting in row 9, seat 3 at a soccer game when she discovered her ticket was for row 1, seat 1. We need to Write a rule to describe the translation needed to put her in the proper seat. Let's do this:

Suppose the above problem in coordinate system where we have a point P(9,3) , And we need to write rule for translation of this point to Q(1,1) .

Let , (x,y)=(9,3) , Now shift 8 units left i.e.

⇒  (x,y)=(9,3)

⇒  (x-8,y)=(9-8,3)

⇒  (x-8,y)=(1,3)

Now , shift 2 units down i.e.

⇒  (x-8,y)=(1,3)

⇒  (x-8,y-2)=(1,3-2)

⇒  (x-8,y-2)=(1,1)

Therefore , rule is to  shift 8 units left & , shift 2 units down , Correct option C)  T<-8,-2> (Jessica) ,
