Final answer:
To find John's original savings, we set up an equation based on the information given and solved for the total savings, which was found to be approximately $154.29.
Explanation:
John spent $24 on a watch and then 1/5 of the remainder of his savings on a shirt. After these purchases, he had 2/3 of his savings left. To determine John's original savings, let's represent his total savings as S. After purchasing the watch, John had S - $24 remaining. He then spent 1/5 of this remainder on a shirt. After buying the shirt, 2/3 of his savings was left, which can be represented by the equation:
2/3 * S = (S - $24) - 1/5 * (S - $24)
Now, we can solve for S, by first distributing the 1/5 on the right-hand side of the equation:
2/3 * S = (S - $24) - 1/5 * S + 24/5
Then, we combine like terms:
(2/3 - 1/5) * S = $24 - 24/5
To combine the fractions, find a common denominator, which in this case is 15:
(10/15 - 3/15) * S = 96/5 - 24/5
(7/15) * S = 72/5
Finally, we multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 7/15 to solve for S:
S = (72/5) * (15/7)
S = (72*15)/(5*7)
S = $154.29
Therefore, John's original savings was approximately $154.29.

The new balance after I bought groceries worth of 30.72 dollars is -43.3 dollars.
What are he types of sign distributions?Sign distributions are of four types they are:- negative distributed to negative results in positive and positive distributed positive results to positive. Negative distributed to positive or vice versa results in negative.
According to the given question on Monday I had -12.58 dollars.
I bought some groceries worth -30.72 dollars which will also be deducted from my bank account.
∴ The final balance I have is ( -12.58 - 30.72) dollars which is,
= -43.3 dollars.

What is a function?A relation between a collection of inputs and outputs is known as a function. A function is a connection between inputs in which each input is connected to precisely one output. Each function has a range, codomain, and domain.
We have points from the graph (6,1) and (8,2).
The slope of the equation is;
m = (2-1) / (8-6)
m = 1/2
And the y-intercept;
We have the slope-intercept form of the equation,
y = mx + b
y = x/2 + b
To find the y-intercept, we substitute the point (6,1)

how many factors are in the expression x(1+y)^z
a. 3
b.2
c.0
d.1
There are two factors: ( x ) and (1+y). So option (b) is correct.
To find the factors in the expression ( x(1+y)^z ), we break it down into its components.
1. ( x ) - This is a factor because it's multiplied by the rest of the expression.
2. (1+y) - This is also a factor because it's part of the expression being raised to the power of \( z \).
3. ( z ) - The exponent does not affect the number of factors, as it's simply the power to which the expression is raised.
So, there are two factors: ( x ) and (1+y).
Detailed calculation:
( x ) is multiplied by the entire expression, so it's a factor.
(1+y) is a factor because it's part of the expression.
( z ) is an exponent and doesn't count as a separate factor.
Thus, the answer is (b) 2.

(1 point) consider the function f(t)=⎧⎩⎨⎪⎪⎪⎪0,−5,−6,6,t<00≤t<11≤t<7t≥7;f(t)={0,t<0−5,0≤t<1−6,1≤t<76,t≥7; 1. write the function in terms of unit step function
Final answer:
The function f(t) can be represented in terms of the unit step function as f(t) = -5u(t) - u(t-1) + 6u(t-7), with each term turning on at specific breakpoints.
Explanation:
To write the function f(t) in terms of the unit step function, you can think of f(t) as a piecewise function that changes values at various breakpoints. The unit step function, denoted as u(t), is defined to be 0 when t < 0 and 1 when t ≥ 0. For the given function f(t), we can write it using the unit step function as follows:
f(t) = -5u(t) -u(t-1) + 6u(t-7)
This representation uses the properties of the unit step function to 'turn on' different function values at specified points. Each term corresponds to a segment of the piecewise function, with the coefficients representing the value of f(t) within each segment.

You are debating about whether to buy a new computer for $800.00 or a refurbished computer with the same equipment for $640.00. If you are paid $10.00/hour and your deductions are FICA (7.65%), federal tax withholding (12%), and state tax withholding (8%), how many hours do you have to work to pay for the new computer?
A) 111 hours
B) 89 hours
C) 98 hours
D) 87 hours
First calculate all the deduction
FICA = $10 per hour x 0.0765 = $0.77 per hr
Fed tax = $10 per hr x 0.12 = $1.2 per hr
State tax = $10 per hr x 0.08 = $0.8 per hr
Remaining pay = 10 – 0.77 – 1.2 – 0.8 = $7.23 per hour
Time required = $640 / $7.23 per hr
Time required = 89 hrs
After calculating deductions from the gross wage of $10.00, the net income per hour is $7.235. To buy the new computer for $800, we divide the cost by the net wage, resulting in approximately 110.58 hours. Therefore, the student would need to work about 111 hours to afford it.
To calculate the number of hours needed to work to pay for the new computer, we must first determine the net income per hour after all the deductions. With a gross wage of $10.00 per hour, the deductions would be:
FICA: 7.65% of $10.00 = $0.765Federal Tax: 12% of $10.00 = $1.20State Tax: 8% of $10.00 = $0.80This totals $2.765 in deductions per hour. Subtracting this from the gross wage gives a net income per hour:
$10.00 - $2.765 = $7.235.
To afford the new computer costing $800, we divide the cost of the computer by the net income per hour to find the total number of hours needed:
$800.00 / $7.235 ≈ 110.58 hours.
Since we cannot work a fraction of an hour, we will need to round up to the nearest whole number, which suggests that the student would need to work approximately 111 hours to afford the new computer.

Suzanne ran 3 3/4 miles in the morning and 4 1/2 miles in the afternoon. How many kilometers did she run altogether? Assume 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers.
Answer:- Total distance traveled by Suzanne in kilometers=13.2 kilometers.
Explanation:-
Distance traveled by Suzanne in the morning=[tex]3\frac{3}{4}\text{ miles}[/tex]
Distance traveled by Suzanne in the evening=[tex]4\frac{1}{2}\text{ miles}[/tex]
Total distance traveled by Suzanne=[tex][3\frac{3}{4}+4\frac{1}{2}\text{ miles}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{15}{4}+\frac{9}{2}\text{ miles}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{15+18}{4}\text{ miles}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{33}{4}\text{ miles}[/tex]
[tex]=8.25\text{ miles}[/tex]
Total distance traveled by Suzanne in kilometers=[tex]8.25\times1.6\text{ kilometers}=13.2\text{ kilometers}[/tex]
Total distance traveled by Suzanne in kilometers[tex]=13.2\text{ kilometers}[/tex]
