Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic charged $85 per hour, and the second mechanic charged $45 per hour. The
mechanics worked for a combined total of 15 hours, and together they charged a total of $1075. How long did each mechanic work?

Answers

Answer 1

The first mechanic worked for 10 hours and second mechanic worked for 5 hours.

Given,

Price of first mechanic service =$85/hr

Price of second mechanic service=$45/hr

Total time they worked together=15 hours

Total combined price charged=$1075

Let

Time spend by first mechanic on work =x

Time spend by second mechanic on work =y

Price charged by first mechanic on total work =85x

Price charged by second mechanic on total work=45y

Equation for total time spend by them together on work can be written as,

[tex]x+y=15.....i\\\\y=15-x[/tex]

Equation for total price charged by them can be written as,

[tex]85x+45y=1075\\[/tex]

Substituting y,

[tex]85x+45(15-x)=1075\\\\85x+675-45x=1075\\\\40x+675=1075\\\\40x=1075-675\\\\40x=400\\\\x=10\\[/tex]

Substituting x in eq.[tex]i[/tex],

[tex]10+y=15\\\\y=15-10\\\\y=5[/tex]

Hence, the first mechanic worked for 10 hours and second mechanic worked for 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:


Start from the bottom equation and work your way upSolve the fourth equation for w-5w=-15-5w/(-5)=-15/(-5)w = 3 Then use that value of w to plug into the third equation. Notice we're going backwards or up the chain of equations. After w is replaced, solve for zz+w = 2z+3 = 2z+3-3 = 2-3z = -1 Now use z = -1 and w = 3 to plug into the second equation. Solve for y-2y-12z-4w = -16-2y-12(-1)-4(3) = -16-2y+12-12 = -16-2y = -16-2y/(-2) = -16/(-2)y = 8

Find the coordinates of the point which divide the lines joining the following pairs of points in the given ratio

b.(4,7) and (3,-2) 4:5

Answers

The coordinates of the point which divide the lines joining the pairs of points (5,8) and (-1,3) in the given ratio  2:3 is  (8,4).

Using the section formula, if a point (x,y) divides the line joining the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) in the ratio m:n, then

(x,y)=( (mx₂+nx₁)/m+n ,  (my₂+ny₁)/m+n )

Let the points be A(5,8) and B(-1, 3). Let a point P(x,y) divides AB in the ratio 2:3

Therefore, we have

P(x,y)=((2(-1) + 3x5)/(2+3) , (2(3) + 3x8)/(2+3))

P(x,y)=(2.6,6)

Hence,the coordinates of the point which divide the lines joining the pairs of points (5,8) and (-1,3) in the given ratio  2:3 is  (8,4).

The simple interest that Oliver needs to pay is $ 90

Calculating Simple interest:

Simple interest is nothing but interest on a loan at a rate. The formula for Simple interest is given below

Simple interest, I = ptr

where p = principal amount

t = time period in years

r = rate of interest in decimals

Here we have

Oliver borrowed $1,500 to purchase a riding lawn mower  

The rate of interest r = 12%

=> 12/100 = 0.12 (in decimals )

The time period given = 6 months = 0.5 years   [ 6/12 = 0.5 ]  

From the above formula,

The simple interest, I = ptr

=> I = $1,500(0.12) (0.5) = $ 90

The diameter of a semicircle is 4 yards. The perimeter for a semicircle having a diameter of 4 yards is 10.28 yards.

The perimeter of a shape is the distance of the path or boundary that surrounds the shape.
