Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

C. The closest amount which will go to charity and savings is $571.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of the paycheck = $2,285.00

Now, the amount donated to charity  = 5%

Calculating the amount of charity, we get:

5 % of  $2,285.00 = (5)/(100) * 2,285.00   = 114.25

So, the total amount generate to the charity = $114.25  ... (1)

Also amount put in savings = 20%

Calculating the amount of savings, we get:

20 % of  $2,285.00 = (20)/(100) * 2,285.00   = 457

So, the total amount saved = $457  ... (2)

Now, the total amount donated  + saved  =  ( $114.25) + ($457)

                                                                      = $571. 25

Hence, the closest amount which will go to charity and savings is $571.

a mail truck picks up two boxes of mail from the post office. the total weight of the boxes is 32 pounds . one box is 8 pounds heavier than the other box. how much does each box weight

Answers

One box is 24lb another box is 8 because i half of 32 is 16 and 1/2 of 166 is 8 so 16 + 8 = 24 leaving another 8 behind

Final answer:

The boxes weigh 12 pounds and 20 pounds respectfully. We found this by setting up and solving an equation based on the problem's parameters.

Explanation:

Let's assume the lighter box weighs 'x' pounds, this makes the heavier box weigh 'x+8' pounds. According to the problem, the total weight of both boxes that the mail truck picks up from the post office is 32 pounds. So, we can set up the following equation: x + (x+8) = 32. Solving this equation we get 2x = 24, which means x = 12. So, one box weighs 12 pounds and the other box, which is 8 pounds heavier, weighs 20 pounds.

What is the area of the rectangle? Round to the nearest square inch.A.
27 in2

B.
31 in2

C.
45 in2

D.
47 in2

Answers

The area of a rectangle is expressed the product of its length and its width. For this rectangle we are given only its width and its diagonal. Thus, we need to solve for its length. A diagonal is a line that divides the rectangle making two right triangles. We can solve its length by using the diagonal. Calculations are as follows:

cos 45 = Length / 8
Length = 4√2 in

Area = (4√2)(5) = 20√2 in
