Answer:

30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of tin in first alloy + amount of tin in second alloy = amount of tin in mixture

0.15 (20) + 0.10 x = 0.12 (20 + x)

3 + 0.10 x = 2.4 + 0.12 x

0.6 = 0.02 x

x = 30

The corporate team-building event will cost $14 if it has 7 attendees. If there are 9
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: for 9 attendees it would cost $18

Step-by-step explanation: First you have to find the unit rate. So for every 7 attendees it costs $14, divide them both by the GCF which is 7. 14÷7=2

7÷7=1

So for every 1 attendee it is $2.

Now to figure out how much it would cost for 9 attendees, figure out what you have to do to 1 to get 9. Multiply it by 9.

And whatever you do to one number you have to do for the other. So $2 • 9 = $18

So for every 9 attendees it costs $18.
