Answer:

The total number of small vehicles washed was 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

The soccer team generated $800 by charging $5 for small vehicles and $10 for large ones.

This amount is represented by the equation

5x + 10y = 800

where x = Number of small vehicles

y = Number of large vehicles

Assuming y = 5, we are to find how many small vehicles were washed.

Substituting y = 50 into the equation gives us:

5x + 10(50) = 800

5x + 500 = 800

5x = 800 - 500

5x = 300

x = \frac{300}{5}

x equals 60

Thus, the total number of small vehicles washed is 60.

Insert 50 for y and solve for x.

5x + 10 (50) = 800
5x + 500 = 800
5x = 800 - 500
5x = 300
x = 300 ÷ 5
x = 60

Pavel’s pocket money increases from €12 per week to €15 per week. Work out the percentage increase in his pocket money.
Inessa [12570]

Response:

12 --> 15

This reflects a 25% rise.

To calculate the increase: New Number - Original Number

15 - 12 = 3

Next, divide the increase by the original number and multiply the result by 100.

3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25 x 100 = 25

Thus, the percentage increase amounts to 25%

A factory produced 150 tons of steel in one year. The next year, the output increased to 180 tons. What is the percentage increa
Svet_ta [12734]
The increase in production is found by calculating 180 - 150 = 30 tons. The percentage rise is computed by taking 30 divided by 150, which equals 0.2 or a 20% rise.

Clarissa's income puts her in the bottom tax bracket (10%) last year. During the same year, she earned $250 in dividends and $75
Leona [12618]

Answer:

75 dollars in coupons.

250 dollars in dividends.

She achieved a profit of 600 - 425 = 175 from her stock investment.

Her complete income sums up to 250 + 75 + 175 = 500.

If all this is taxed at 10%, her tax will be 500 *.1 = 50.

Triangle X Y Z is shown. Angle X Y Z is 51 degrees and angle Y Z X is 76 degrees. The length of X Z is 2.6, the length of X Y is
zzz [12365]

To find the value of z in triangle XYZ, we can utilize the law of sines. We know the following:

1. The measure of angle XYZ is 51 degrees.

2. The measure of angle YZX is 76 degrees.

3. The length of side XZ is 2.6 units.

From these angles, angle XZY can be calculated, and then we can apply the law of sines to determine z.

Thus, we proceed to solve for z using the sine relationship in the triangle.

We will round the result to one decimal place.
