After a long journey, you finally arrive at the edge o a deep gorge where there are two identical bridges from which to choose your path to the other side. One bridge is safe, while the other is very dangerous and has caused the deaths of hundreds of travelers. The owner of the first bridge is a talking rat, while the owner of the second bridge is a talking frog. Friends told you before you left that one of the bridge owners always tells the truth, while the other always lies. You are allowed one question to ask of either the frog or the rat to find out which bridge is the safe bridge. What is the question that you would ask? [B]Ask the frog the following question: "If I were to ask the rat which bridge is the same bridge, which one would he point to?"

two mechanics worked on a car. the first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. together they charged a total of 1225. what was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was 170 per hour? Set up two equations: (1) 10x + 5y = 1225 (2) x + y = 170 Rearrange (2) x = 170 - y Substitute that into (1) 10(170 - y) + 5y = 1225 1700 - 10y + 5y = 1225 1700 - 5y = 1225 Move 5y to the other side 5y + 1225 = 1700 Subtract 1225 from each side 5y =475 Divide each side by 5 [B]y = 95[/B] Which means x = 170 - 95, [B]x = 75[/B]

You are offered two different sales jobs. The first company offers a straight commission of 6% of the sales. The second company offers a salary of $330 per week plus 2% of the sales. How much would you have to sell in a week in order for the straight commission offer to be at least as good? Let s be the sales and C be the weekly commission for each sales job. We have the following equations: [LIST=1] [*]C = 0.06s [*]C = 330 + 0.02s [/LIST] Set them equal to each other: 0.06s = 330 + 0.02s Subtract 0.02s from each side: 0.04s = 330 Using our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=0.04s%3D330&pl=Solve']equation solver[/URL], we get [B]s = 8,250[/B]

You can get 2 different moving companies to help you move. The first one charges $150 up front then $38 an hour. The second one charges $230 then $30 an hour, at what exact time will Both companies cost the same [U]Company 1: We set up the cost equation C(h) where h is the number of hours[/U] C(h) = Hourly Rate * h + up front charge C(h) = 38h + 150 [U]Company 2: We set up the cost equation C(h) where h is the number of hours[/U] C(h) = Hourly Rate * h + up front charge C(h) = 30h + 230 The question asks for h when both cost equations C(h) are equal. So we set both C(h) equations equal to other: 38h + 150 = 30h + 230 To solve for h, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=38h%2B150%3D30h%2B230&pl=Solve']type this equation into our search engine [/URL]and we get: h = [B]10[/B]
