A tutor charges $40 per hour. In one week, the tutor spends 5 and a half hours tutoring one student and 10 hours tutoring another student. Determine the total amount the tutor earned that week.
a) $620
b) $550
c) $400
d) $180
To calculate the total amount the tutor earned that week, we need to add the earnings from each student.
For the first student: 5.5 hours * $40/hour = $220
For the second student: 10 hours * $40/hour = $400
Total earnings = $220 + $400 = $620
Therefore, the correct answer is a) $620.
Evaluate quantity the square root of 36 times 3 squared minus the cube root of negative 64 end quantity divided by 2 squared.
a) one fourth
b) thirty fourths
c) fifty-eight fourths
d) seventy-eight fourths
Let's evaluate the expression step by step:
Square root of 36 = 6
3 squared = 3 * 3 = 9
Cube root of -64 = -4 (since -4 * -4 * -4 = -64)
2 squared = 2 * 2 = 4
Now, substituting in the values:
(6 * 9 - (-4)) / 4 = (54 + 4) / 4 = 58 / 4 = 14.5
Since the options are in terms of fractions, we need to convert 14.5 to a fraction:
14.5 can be written as 14 + 0.5 = 14 + 1/2 = 28/2 + 1/2 = 29/2
Therefore, the final result is 29/2.
The closest option to this is c) fifty-eight fourths.
one half cubed − 6 ÷ square root of 64
a) negative five eighths
b) negative 47 over 64
c) five eighths
d) 47 over 64
Let's evaluate the expression step by step:
One-half cubed (1/2)^3 = (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8
Square root of 64 = √64 = 8
Now, substituting in the values:
1/8 - 6 / 8 = 1/8 - 3/4 = 1/8 - (3 * 2) / (4 * 2) = 1/8 - 6/8 = -5/8
Therefore, the expression simplifies to -5/8.
So, the correct answer is a) negative five eighths.
An online electronics store bought 20 keyboards and 15 phone chargers for $130 and then sold each keyboard for $30 and each phone charger for $15.
Part A: Which expression represents the amount of money the store made? (1 point)
(20)(30) + (15)(15) − 130
(20)(15) + (15)(30) − 130
(20)(30) + (15)(15) + 130
(20)(15) + (15)(30) + 130
Part B: Explain why your answer to Part A is correct. (1 point)
Part C: What is the value of the expression you chose in Part A? Show each step of your work.
Part A: The expression that represents the amount of money the store made is (20)(30) + (15)(15) + 130.
Part B: The reason why this answer is correct is because we need to calculate the total revenue generated by selling the keyboards and phone chargers, which is given by the sum of the revenue from selling the keyboards ((20)(30)) and the revenue from selling the phone chargers ((15)(15)), and then adding the initial cost of the items ($130).
Part C: Let's calculate the value of the expression chosen in Part A:
(20)(30) + (15)(15) + 130
= 600 + 225 + 130
= 955
Therefore, the value of the expression is 955.
