8 ft. 8

The number of 8-ft. lengths is greater than 5, so Sheila must buy 6 lengths.
The total number of feet in 6 lengths is: 6(8 ft.) = 48 ft.

Sample answer:
I would walk along the bridge, counting the number of large steps I take to go from one end of the bridge
to the other. Each large step is about 1 yd., so the number of steps is the approximate length of the
bridge, in yards.
Since 1 m is slightly longer than 1 yd., the number of metres that represent the length of the bridge is
slightly less than the number of yards.

52. ANS:
a) Let P represent the clerk’s two-week salary, in dollars, and s represent the clerk’s two-week sales, in
dollars.
Then, a linear system is:
P = 580 + 0.042s
P = 880 + 0.012s

b) P = 580 + 0.042s
P = 880 + 0.012s
For each equation, determine the P-intercept and the coordinates of another point on the line.
For equation 1:
P = 580 + 0.042s
Substitute: s = 0
P = 580
Substitute: s = 10 000
P = 580 + 0.042 × 10 000
P = 580 + 420
P = 1000
On a grid, use a scale of 1 square to 200 units on the P-axis, and a scale of 2 squares to
10 000 units on the s-axis. Mark a point at 580 on the P-axis and mark a point at (10 000, 1000).
Join the points with a line.

For equation 2:
P = 880 + 0.012s
Substitute: s = 0
P = 880
Substitute: s = 10 000
P = 880 + 0.012 × 10 000
P = 880 + 120
P = 1000
On the grid, mark a point at 1000 on the P-axis and mark a point at (10 000, 1000).
Join the points with a line.

c) From the graph, a clerk will receive the same salary, $1000, with both plans when the two-week sales
is $10 000.
Check that this solution satisfies both equations.
Substitute P = 1000 and s = 10 000 in each equation.
For equation 1:
P = 580 + 0.042s
L.S. = P R.S. = 580 + 0.042s
= 1000 = 580 + 0.042(10 000)
= 580 + 420
= 1000
For equation 2:
P = 880 + 0.012s
L.S. = P R.S. = 880 + 0.012s
= 1000 = 880 + 0.012(10 000)
= 880 + 120
= 1000
Since the left side is equal to the right side for each equation, the solution is correct.

53. ANS:
a) Let d dollars represent the daily rate and let k dollars represent the fee for each kilometre driven.

The linear system is:

15d + 800k = 715
25d + 2250k = 1512.5

b) Multiply equation by 25 and equation by 15, then subtract to eliminate d.

25 × equation : 25(15d + 800k = 715)
375d + 20000k = 17875

15 × equation : 15(25d + 2250k = 1512.5)

375d + 33750k = 22687.5

Subtract equation from equation .

375d + 20000k = 17875
−(375d + 33750k = 22687.5)
− 13750k = −4812.5
k = 0.35

Substitute k = 0.35 in equation .

15d + 800k = 715
15d + 800(0.35) = 715

15d + 280 = 715

15d = 435
d = 29

Verify the solution.

In each equation, substitute: k = 0.35 and d = 29

15d + 800k = 715 25d + 2250k = 1512.5

L.S. = 15d + 800k L.S. = 25d + 2250k
= 15(29) + 800(0.35) = 25(29) + 2250(0.35)

= 435 + 280 = 725 + 787.5

= 715 = 1512.5
= R.S. = R.S.

So, the daily rate is $29 and the fee for each kilometre driven is $0.35.
