Last year $48,000 of a certain store's profit was shared by its 2 owners and their 10 employees. Each of the 2 owners received 3 times as much as each of their 10 employees. How much did each owner receive from the $48,000 ?

$9000

Explanation:

Let x = the amount (in dollars) that each employee received

Let y = the amount (in dollars) that each owner received

It is also stated that each owner received 3 times as much as each employee

Thus, we can write: y = 3x

Last year $48,000 of the store's profit was shared between its 2 owners and their 10 employees.

So, the total amount received by the 2 owners would be = y + y = 2y

The total amount received by the 10 employees also would be = 10x

we can then write: 10x + 2y = 48,000

At this point, we have 2 linear equations:

y = 3x

10x + 2y = 48,000

Substituting y=3x in the second equation

10x + 2(3x) = 48,000

10x + 6x = 48,000

16x = 48,000

X = 48,000/16

X = 3,000

Remember, y = 3x

Y = 3,000 * 3

Y = 9,000

So, each each OWNER received $9000

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
