6. The sum of the ages of a father and his son is 74. Four years ago the
father's age was twice as old as his son. How old is the father now?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A (48)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the father's age = x and his son's age = y

according to the question,

the sum of their ages is 74

×+y=74......equation 1

four years ago (i.e x-4 & y-4) father's age was twice as old as his son

x-4=2(y-4)

or, x-4=2y-8

x-2y=-4.......equation 2

now, in equation 1

x+y=74

hence,

x=74-y

substituting the values in equation 2

x-2y=-4

(74-y)-2y=-4

74-y-2y=-4

74-3y=-4

74+4=3y

3y=78

y=78/3

y=26

Hence the kid is 26 years old

x+y=74

x+26=74

x=74-26

x=48

Hence the dad is 48 years old

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is: Option A: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the present age of father and y be the present age of son

Given that

"The sum of the ages of a father and his son is 74"

[tex]x+y = 74\ \ \ Eqn\ 1[/tex]

Now

x-4 will be the age of father 4 years ago

y-4 will be the age of son 4 years ago

The equation will be:

[tex]x-4 = 2(y-4)\\x-4 = 2y-8\\x-2y-4 =-8\\x-2y = -8+4\\x-2y = -4\ \ \ Eqn\ 2[/tex]

From equation 1:

[tex]x = 74-y[/tex]

Putting in equation 2

[tex]74-y-2y = -4\\74-3y = -4\\-3y = -4-74\\-3y = -78\\\frac{-3y}{-3} = \frac{-78}{-3}\\y = 26[/tex]

Put y = 26 in equation 1

[tex]x+26 = 74\\x = 74-26\\x = 48[/tex]

The father is 48 years old now.

Hence,

The correct answer is: Option A: 48

Answer:

slope of st is -0.25

slope of tu is 1

slope of us is -0.25

slope of sv is 1 so it is a parallelogram. the slope of the parallel lines needs to be the same to be a parallelogram. to find the slope, you need to find the change from the points of the referenced line, for example, slope of st you would label each point as x1, y1 and x2,y2. it does not matter which one you label and you can change them for each different line. you would then find the difference by subtracting (y2-y1) divided by (x2-x1) so 4-3=1 and 1-5 is -4. you then divide 1/-4 is -0.25. you the follow the steps for each line. is the parallel lines have the same slope, it is a parallelogram

Multiply (-4) to both terms in the first bracket and multiply (-2) to both terms in the second bracket.

(-4c-8d) + (-6c+8d) = -4c-8d-6c+8d

Evaluate like terms.

Ted sells cleaning supplies. He earns a monthly salary of $850.00, plus commission. He earns 5% commission on the first $10,000 in sales, and 7% commission on any sales over $10,000. If he sold $14,000 worth of supplies this month, how much will his pay be this month?

Answers

Answer:

$1830

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Ted's monthly salary =$850.00

since he made sales over $10,000. that is he sold supplies worth $14,000

his commission will be 7% of $14,000

=7/100*$14,000

=0.07*$14,000

=$980

Required

His total earnings

Step two:

Hence his total earnings is, his monthly salary  plus 7% commission of  supplies worth $14,000

=$850.00+$980.00

=$1830

Mildred has a bag of coins. The bag contains 10 dimes, 5 nickels, and 1 penny. She will randomly select 2 coins from the bag one at a time without replacement. What is the probability that Mildred will select a dime first and then a penny?

Answers

Answer:

Total possibilities = 16

Probability of a dime of the first draw is 10/16 = 5/8

Probability of a penny on the second draw = 1/15

Probability of both = 5/8 * 1/15 = 1/24

25 people use the gym and the pool.

19 people use the gym and the track.

6 people use all three facilities.

Given that a randomly selected person uses the gym and the track, what is the probability they do not use the swimming pool?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people who uses the gym and the track, and also uses the pool = Number of people who use all 3 facilities = 6. (given)

Number of people who uses the gym and the track, and may or may not use the pool = 19. (given)

Therefore number of people who use the gym and track, but do not use the pool = 19 - 6 = 13.

Probability = (13/19) * 100% = 68.4%.

Given that a randomly selected person uses the gym and the track, what is the probability they do not use the swimming pool?

Answers

Answer:

13 / 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

U = 130

Let :

s = swimming pool

t = track

g = gym

n(g) = 61 ; n(s) = 68 ; n(t) = 60

n(g n s) = 25 ; n(t n s) = 30 ; n(g n t) = 19

n(g n s n t) = 6

n(g n t) only = n(g n t) - n(g n s n t) = 19 - 6 = 13

Hence, probability that a randomly scted person uses the gym and track and does not use the swimming pool = n(g n t) only ÷ n(g n t)

= 13 / 19

= 13 / 19

Mia buys 50 coats at $28 each she sells 38 of these coats at$49 each she sells the rest of the coats at$40 each find the overall percentage profit mia has made on these coats

Answers

Answer:

67.28 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Price at which the coats are bought = $28

Number of coats bought = 50

Total money spent on buying the coats = 50 [tex]\times[/tex] 28 = $1400

Number of coats sold at $49 each = 38

Money earned by selling 38 coats at $49 each = $1862

Number of coats left = 50 - 38 = 12

Money earned by selling 12 coats at $40 each = $480

Total money earned = $1862 + $480 = $2342

To find:

The overall profit percentage made by Mia ?

Solution:

Formula for Profit percentage:

[tex]Profit\% = \dfrac{Sales\ Price - Cost\ Price}{Cost\ Price}\times 100\\\Rightarrow Profit\% = \dfrac{2342 - 1400}{1400}\times 100\\\Rightarrow Profit\%=\dfrac{942}{1400}\times 100\\\Rightarrow Profit\%=67.28\%[/tex]

Therefore, overall percentage profit made by Mia by selling the coats= 67.28 %
