At Silver Gym, membership is $25 per month, and personal training sessions are $30 each. At Fit Factor, membership is $65 per month, and personal training sessions are $20 each. In one month, how many personal training sessions would Sarah have to buy to make the total cost at the two gyms equal?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Sarah would have to buy 4 personal training sessions to make the total cost at the two gyms equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Membership fee at Silver gym = $25 per month

Cost of one training session = $30

Membership fee at Fit Factor = $65 per month

Cost of one training session = $20

Let,

x be the number of training sessions in a month,

S(x) = 25 + 30x    Eqn 1

F(x) = 65 + 20x    Eqn 2

The two functions will be equal when the cost will be same, therefore,

S(x) = F(x)

25+30x=65+20x\n30x-20x=65-25\n10x=40

Dividing both sides by 10

(10x)/(10)=(40)/(10)\nx=4

Sarah would have to buy 4 personal training sessions to make the total cost at the two gyms equal.

I need to solve: -3(8x); x = 1/4. Using substitution ro find the value of expression

Answers

First, find the value of the expression within the parentheses, which is 8x. Since x=1/4, 8x=8/4 or 2. Next, multiply this value by -3. -3*2=-6

The actual length of c in the triangle shown is 15 cm. Use the scale drawing of the triangle to find the actual length of side a.

Answers

Answer: 9.375 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture, it can be seen that the measure of side 'c' in triangle = 1.92 cm

The actual length of 'c' in the triangle = 15 cm.

The scale factor =k=\frac{\text{ actual length of c}}{\text{length of c in figure}}

k=(15)/(1.92)=7.8125

Now, the length of side 'a' = 1.2 cm

The actual length of side 'a' k*1.2=7.8125*1.2=9.375\text{ cm}

We can solve this problem by the rule of three:

1.5 cm---------------15 cm
1.2 cm---------------  x

x=(1.2 cm*15 cm) / 1.5 cm=12 cm.

answer. a=12 cm.

Employees in 2012 paid 4.2% of their gross wages towards social security (FICA tax), while employers paid another 6.2%. How much will someone earning $28,000 a year pay towards social security out of their wages

Answers

Answer:

$1,176

Step-by-step explanation:

Employees in 2012 paid 4.2% of their gross wages towards social security tax.

If someone has yearly wages = $28,000

He paid towards social security = 4.2% of 28,000

                                                     = (4.2)/(100)* 28,000

                                                     = 0.042 × 28,000

                                                     = $1,176.00

He would pay $1,176 towards social security tax out of their wages.

If you have worded the question verbatim from the problem, then you only need to worry about the 4.2% paid by the employee out of his/her gross.

(If you altered the wording a bit, then the 6.2% from the employer may factor in somehow. But the way the problem is worded above, it does not.)

If I make $28,000 and paid 4.2% out of my wages myself, then that would be

28,000 x .042 = $1176 toward SS that I paid myself from my gross wages.

Rose lives 3/4 of a mile from her cousin. One day she rode her bike to her cousin's house. When she got 2/5 of the way there, her bike chain broke and she had to walk the rest of the way. What part of a mile did Rose go on her bike before it broke?

Answers

Answer: 3/10 of a mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to multiply the 2/5 of the way that she travelled on her bike before it broke by the total distance (3/4 of a mile)

2/5 x 3/4 = 3/10 of a mile  

She travelled 3/10 of a mile on her bike before it broke
