Oscar makes a large purchase at Home Depot and plans to rent one of its trucks to take his supplies home. The most he wants to spend on the truck is $56.00. If Home Depot charges $17.00 for the first 75 minutes and $5.00 for each additional 15 min, for how long can Oscar keep the truck and remain within his budget? Set up the cost equation C(m) where m is the number of minutes for rental: C(m) = 17 * min(m, 75) + max(0, 5(m - 75)) If Oscar uses the first 75 minutes, he spends $17. So he's left with: $56 - $17 = $38 $38 / $5 = 7 Remainder 3 We remove the remainder 3, since it's not a full 15 minute block. So Oscar can rent the truck for: 7 * 15 minute blocks = [B]105 minutes[/B]

Three people went to lunch and bought a large meal which they all split. The total cost, including tip, was $30. Each person paid $10 to the waitress and started to leave the restaurant. As they left, the waitress came running up to them with five dollars saying that she made a mistake and that the meal and tip should have cost only $25. The waitress then gave each person one dollar, but didn't know how to split the remaining two dollars. They told her to keep the extra two dollars as an additional tip. When the people started talking about what had just happened, they started getting confused. They had each paid $10 for the meal and received one dollar back, so they each really paid $9 for the meal for a total of $27. Add the two dollars of extra tip and the total is $29. Where did the extra one dollar go? [B]The missing dollar is not really missing. The cost of the meal is really $27. The $25 plus the extra two dollar tip was given to the waitress -- $27 What we have is the cost ($27) plus the refund ($3) = $30. The $30 that was originally paid is accounted for as follows: Restaurant + regular waitress tip: $25 Three people: $3 (refund) Waitress: $2 (extra tip) $25 + $3 + $2 = $30[/B]

To ship a package with UPS, the cost will be $7 for the first pound and $0.20 for each additional pound. To ship a package with FedEx, the cost will be $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each additional pound. How many pounds will it take for UPS and FedEx to cost the same? If you needed to ship a package that weighs 8 lbs, which shipping company would you choose and how much would you pay? [U]UPS: Set up the cost function C(p) where p is the number of pounds:[/U] C(p) = Number of pounds over 1 * cost per pounds + first pound C(p) = 0.2(p - 1) + 7 [U]FedEx: Set up the cost function C(p) where p is the number of pounds:[/U] C(p) = Number of pounds over 1 * cost per pounds + first pound C(p) = 0.3(p - 1) + 5 [U]When will the costs equal each other? Set the cost functions equal to each other:[/U] 0.2(p - 1) + 7 = 0.3(p - 1) + 5 0.2p - 0.2 + 7 = 0.3p - 0.3 + 5 0.2p + 6.8 = 0.3p + 4.7 To solve this equation for p, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=0.2p%2B6.8%3D0.3p%2B4.7&pl=Solve']type it in our search engine[/URL] and we get: p = [B]21 So at 21 pounds, both UPS and FedEx costs are equal [/B] Now, find out which shipping company has a better rate at 8 pounds: [U]UPS:[/U] C(8) = 0.2(8 - 1) + 7 C(8) = 0.2(7) + 7 C(8) = 1.4 + 7 C(8) = 8.4 [U]FedEx:[/U] C(8) = 0.3(8 - 1) + 5 C(8) = 0.3(7) + 5 C(8) = 2.1 + 5 C(8) = [B]7.1[/B] [B]Therefore, FedEx is the better cost at 8 pounds since the cost is lower[/B] [B][/B]

Whitney has already baked 2 cakes, and she can bake 1 cake with each additional stick of butter she buys. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of additional sticks of butter s and the number of cakes c. [LIST] [*]Let c, the number of cakes, be represented by f(s) where s are the number of sticks of butter. [*]We already have 2 cakes to start, and each additional stick of butter gets us one more cake. [/LIST] f(s) = 1s + 2 Simplify, since 1s is just s [B]f(s) = s + 2[/B]

My daughter is having issues with a math problem for her homework. she tells me that I am doing it wrong but I am getting the correct answer... Can you please look at it and see if i am correct? The problem is: A painter charges $15.35 per hour, plus an additional amount for supplies. If he made $141.73 on a job where he worked 4 hours, how much did the supplies cost? I have the equation as: $15.35 * 4 = $141.73 - x ... I got the answer of $80.33 for supplies She is telling me that the teacher is wanting her to do the PEMDAS backwards but that is not working out for her and I am not understanding that at all. Any suggestions would help out Thanks, Tina

You are baking muffins for your class. There are 17 total students in your class and you have baked 5 muffins. Write and solve an equation to find the additional number x of muffins you need to bake in order to have 2 muffins for each student. Write your equation so that the units on each side of the equation are muffins per student. 2 muffins per student = 17*2 = 34 muffins.

You work for a remote manufacturing plant and have been asked to provide some data about the cost of specific amounts of remote each remote, r, costs $3 to make, in addition to $2000 for labor. Write an expression to represent the total cost of manufacturing a remote. Then, use the expression to answer the following question. What is the cost of producing 2000 remote controls? We've got 2 questions here. Question 1: We want the cost function C(r) where r is the number of remotes: C(r) = Variable Cost per unit * r units + Fixed Cost (labor) [B]C(r) = 3r + 2000 [/B] Question 2: What is the cost of producing 2000 remote controls. In this case, r = 2000, so we want C(2000) C(2000) = 3(2000) + 2000 C(2000) = 6000 + 2000 C(2000) = [B]$8000[/B]
