A car wash charges a flat rate for the first 8 minutes of washing time and also charges a certain amount for each additional minute of washing time. Gina took 12 minutes to wash her car and it cost her a total of $5.00. Kris took 17 minutes to wash his truck at a total cost of $6.25.How much is the is the flat rate for the first 8 minutes? show equation to find answer. Plz answer this word problem.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: flat rate = x

so for the first eight minutes they both have the same rate
so this is also true
Gina took 4 minutes to wash her car and it cost her a total of $5-x
Kris took 9 minutes to wash his truck and it cost him a total of $6.25-x
so for overtime 4mins=5-x, 9mins=6.25-x
4 times 9 = 36 so
36 mins = (45-9x)=(25-4x)
so 45-9x=25-4x
subtract 25 from both sides and get
20-9x= -4x
subtract add 4x to both sides
20-5x=0
factor out the five
5(4-x)=0
(4-x) must =0
4-x=0
add x to both sides
4=x
it cost $4 for flat rate

What percent of the boxes have x's in them

Answers

There are 32 total boxes. Only 14 of the boxes in the grid have an x inside of the box. We can find what percent of the boxes have an x in them by making a fraction. $(14)/(32)$ represents the number of boxes that have an x in them out of all the boxes in the grid.

$(14)/(32)$ can be reduced to $(7)/(16)$ by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 14 and 32 which is 2.

7 ÷ 16 = 0.4375

0.4375 × 100 = 43.75%

Therefore, 43.75% of the boxes have an x inside of them.

It is a 4 by 8 grid. So there are 32 squares total.
Now, count how many x's are on the boxes.
I counted 14 x'ed boxes.
Divide 14 by 32
14/32=0.4375
Now convert to a percent. Move the decimal two places to the left.
You get 43.75% as the answer.
