The answer is 120. To explain step-by-step: Let b represent the number of dessert baskets. Each basket costs $2.50. Thus, the cost for b baskets equals 2.5b dollars. Her weekly fixed costs (rent, electricity, salaries) are $200. Hence, total expenses are calculated as fixed costs plus the cost of b baskets, leading to 200 + 2.5b = 500. This further simplifies to 2.5b = 300, resulting in b = 120. Thus, the total number of dessert baskets produced is 120.

500 = 2.5x + 200, x denotes the number of desserts. Rearranging gives 500 - 200 = 2.5x, leading to 300 = 2.5x. Consequently, x = 120. Therefore, the answer is C.

I have a past due balance of $87.50 and my new charges are $75.00. I was also charged a late fee of 15% of my past due balance.
PIT_PIT [12445]
Past due amount = $87.50
Late fee equals 15% of $87.50, which is 0.15 × 87.50 = $13.125
New charges are $75.00

Total due now = 87.50 + 13.125 + 75 = $175.625

Final total: $175.63

Q. Fine Floors can install 15 square yards of carpeting in 4 hours and 30 minutes. At this rate, how
lawyer [12517]
It takes 5.22 hours to install carpet in a room. Step-by-step explanation: To start, let's explore the relationship among yards, feet, and inches. 1. 1 yard = 3 feet. 2. 1 foot = 12 inches. 3. Therefore, 1 yard = 36 inches. Now, let's convert all measurements to inches. ∵ 1 yard = 36 inches ∴ 1 yard² = (36)² inches². - Fine Floors can outfit 15 square yards of carpeting in 4 hours and 30 minutes. ∵ 15 yard² equals 15 × (36)² inches², so 15 yards² = 19440 inches². ∵ 1 hour equals 60 minutes, thus 30 minutes = 0.5 hours. Consequently, 4 hours and 30 minutes = 4.5 hours, implying Fine Floors covers 19440 inches² in 4.5 hours. The dimensions of the room are 11 feet 9 inches by 13 feet 4 inches. ∵ 1 foot = 12 inches, therefore, 11 feet 9 inches = 11 × 12 + 9 = 141 inches, and 13 feet 4 inches = 13 × 12 + 4 = 160 inches. Hence, the room’s area is 141 × 160 = 22560 inches². Using the ratio method, we have area of carpeting (in²): time of carpeting (hr) hence, 19440: 4.5 = 22560: h. By cross-multiplying, 19440h = 4.5 × 22560 yields 19440h = 101520. Dividing both sides by 19440 results in h = 5.22 hrs.
