Let x = cost of the dishwasher.
The amounts the children are paying are:
Mark =20% = 1/5, so 1/5x
Sorin = 75
Raymond = 1/4x
Stephanie = 75
Kristin = 1/3x
Add them together:
x = 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x + 75 + 75
x - ( 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x ) = 150
Rewrite fractions with common denominator:
x - ( 12/60x + 15/60x + 20/60x ) = 150
60/60x - 47/60x = 150
13/60x = 150
x = 150/1 • 60/13
x = 9000/13
x = 692.31
The total cost of the dishwasher is $692.31
Now calculate the amount each child pays:
Mark = 1/5 x = 692.31/ 5 = $138.46
Sorin = $75.00
Raymond = 1/4 x = 692.31 / 4 = $173.08
Stephanie = $75.00
Kristin = 1/3 x = 692.31 / 3 = $230.77
Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula, (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). In this case, there is a negative slope.
Start from point, (1, 9) and go to point (4, 8).
Use the formula:
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Y2 = 8
Y1 = 4
X2 = 9
X1 = 1
(8 - 9)/(4 - 1) = -1/3
Therefore, the slope is -1/3
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
If;
5 gallons = $12.50 / 5 = $2.50/gallon
11 gallons = $26.40 / 11 = $2.40/gallon
In conclusion, 5 gallons cost more per gallon than 11.
