The table shows how an elevator 500 feet above the ground is descending at a steady rate.
| Time in seconds $(t)$ | Height in feet $h(t)$ |
|---|---|
| 0 | 500 |
| 5 | 475 |
| 10 | 450 |
| 15 | 425 |
Which equation represents the height, $h(t)$, of the elevator in feet, as a function of $t$, the number of seconds during which it has been descending?
A. [tex]$h(t)=5 t+500$[/tex]
B. [tex]$h(t)=5 t-500$[/tex]
C. [tex]$h(t)=-5 t+500$[/tex]
D. [tex]$h(t)=-5 t-500$[/tex]
Answer (2)
The profit would be 5% of 400, or 100 5 ∗ 400 = 20 400 = 20 , that is, $20 for profit! Not much, I suppose...
The total profit from ticket sales is $4000. This is calculated by considering the technician's flat fee and the percentage of profits they receive. The calculation shows how the technician's earnings are impacted by the overall profit from ticket sales.
