Tim has an after-school delivery service that he provides for several small retailers in town. He

uses his bicycle and charges $1.25 for a delivery

made within 1 mi, $1.70 for a delivery of at

least 1 mi but less than 1 mi, $2.15 for a

delivery of at least 1. mi but less than 2 miles,

and so on. If Tim raised his rates by 10%, what

would he be paid to deliver a package 35

miles?

Step-by-step explanation:

tim has an after school delivery service that he provides for several small retailers in town. he uses his bicycle and charges $1.25 for a delivery made within 1 1/2 miles, $1.70 for a delivery of at least 1 1/2 miles but less than 1 3/4 miles. $2.15 for a delivery of at least 1 3/4 miles but less than 2 miles, and so on. if tim raised his rates by 10%, what would he be paid to deliver a package 3 1/8 miles.

From the question asked the cost of additional 1/4 mile (1 3/4 - 1 1/2) is $0.45 ($1.7 - $1.25). If the rate is increased by 10% (0.1), the new price for an additional 1/4 mile would be 1.1 (1 + 0.1) × 0.45 = $0.495.

Tim new charge rate are as follows:

$1.25 for a delivery made within 1 1/2 miles

$1.745 for a delivery of at least 1 1/2 miles but less than 1 3/4

$2.24 or a delivery of at least 1 3/4 miles but less than 2

$2.735 or a delivery of at least 2 miles but less than 2 1/4

$3.23 or a delivery of at least 2 1/4 miles but less than 2 1/2

$3.725 or a delivery of at least 2 1/2 miles but less than 2 3/4

$4.22 or a delivery of at least 2 3/4 miles but less than 3

$4.715 or a delivery of at least 3 miles but less than 3 1/4

Since 3 1/8 is within 3 miles and 3 1/4 miles, Tim would charge $4.715 to deliver a package 3 1/8 miles.

just needed some points but try socratic

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
