For my project

A growers’ cooperative has a farmer’s market in the town center every Saturday. They sell what they have grown and split the money into several categories. 8.5% of all the money taken in is set aside for sales tax. $150 goes to pay the rent on the space they occupy. What remains is split evenly between the seven growers. If each grower receives a $175 share, how much total money is taken in? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

The electrical current, (I) (in amps), passing through an electronic component varies directly with the applied voltage, (V) (in volts), according to the relationship (V = I \cdot R), where (R) is the resistance measured in Ohms ((\Omega)). A scientist is trying to deduce the resistance of an unknown component. He labels the resistance of the unknown component as (x , \Omega). The resistance of a circuit containing a number of these components is ((5x + 20) , \Omega). If a 120-volt potential difference across the circuit produces a current of 2.5 amps, calculate the resistance of the unknown component.

The speed of a body is the distance it travels per unit of time. We can find out how far an object moves in a certain amount of time if we know its speed using the equation: distance = speed × time. Shanice’s car is traveling 10 miles per hour slower than twice the speed of Brandon’s car. She covers 93 miles in 1 hour 30 minutes. How fast is Brandon driving?

You’re helping your friend paint a rectangular room. The length of the room is 12 feet more than twice the width. The total area of the room is 240 square feet. Find the dimensions of the room (length and width).

• The length of the room is 8 ft and the width is 28 ft

• The length of the room is 20 ft and the width is 8 ft

• the width of the room is 20 ft and the length of the room is 8

• the width of the room is 8 ft and the width of the room is 28ft

A chemist needs to create a 20% acid solution by mixing a 10% acid solution with a 30% acid solution. How many liters of each solution should be mixed to obtain 10 liters of the desired 20% acid solution?

• Mix 4 liters of the 10% solution with 6 liters of the 30% solution to get the desired 20% solution

• Mix 6 liters of the 10% solution with 4 liters of the 30% solution to get the desired 20% solution

• Mix 4 liters of the 20% solution with 6 liters of the 10% solution to get the desired 30% solution

• Mix 4 liters of the 10% solution with 6 liters of the 30% solution to get the desired 40% solution

You invest $5000 in two different accounts. The first account pays 6% annual interest, and the second account pays 8% annual interest. If the total interest earned after one year is $360, how much did you invest in each account?

• You invested $3000 in the 6% account and $2000 in the 8% account

• You invested $2000 in the 6% account and $3000 in the 8% account

• You invested $2000 in the 8% account and $3000 in the 6% account

• You invested $2000 in the 10% account and $3000 in the 12% account

You’re planning a train trip from City A to City B. The express train travels at an average speed of 80 miles per hour, while the local train travels at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. The distance between the two cities is 300 miles. If the total travel time for both trains is 5 hours, how long did each train take?

• The express train took 3 hours, and the local train took 2 hours

• The express train took 6 hours, and the local train took 3 hours

• The express train took 2 hours, and the local train took 3 hours

• The express train took 3 hours, and the local train took 6 hours

A group of friends is going to a concert. They buy a total of 20 tickets for $240. Some tickets are regular tickets priced at $12 each, and the rest are VIP tickets priced at $20 each. How many regular tickets and how many VIP tickets did they buy?

• They bought 8 regular tickets and 12 VIP tickets

• They bought 6 regular tickets and 10 VIP tickets

• They bought 10 regular tickets and 6 VIP tickets

• They bought 12 regular tickets and 8 VIP tickets

You’re creating a mixture of two types of nuts: almonds and cashews. Almonds cost $8 per pound, and cashews cost $12 per pound. You want to create a 10-pound mixture that costs $10 per pound. How many pounds of each type of nut should you use?

• Use 6 pounds of almonds and 4 pounds of cashews

• Use 4 pounds of almonds and 6 pounds of cashews

• Use 8 pounds of almonds and 6 pounds of cashews

• Use 8 pounds of almonds and 6 pounds of cashews
