A family wants to rent a car to go on vacation. Company A charges $60.50 and 12 cents per mile. Company B charges $45.40 and 10 cents per mile. How much more does charge for x miles than Company B?

$15.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write out some equations.

Company A:

60.50+0.12x=A

Company b:

45.50+0.10x=B

Now let's compare. If x=1, Company A charges

60.50+0.12=60.62=A

On the other hand, Company B charges

45.50+0.10=45.60=B

A-B=60.62-45.60=15.02

Since these are linear we can safely assume that this is constant :)

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
