Answer: Each adult’s meal costed $15

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation can be modeled by the following equation:

2a + 3c = 42, where a = the cost of an adult’s meal, and c = the cost of a child’s meal


Since we know from the problem that a child’s meal costs $4, we know c:

2a + 3(4) = 42


At this point, we can just solve the resulting equation for a:

2a + 3(4) = 42

= 2a + 12 = 42 (simplify 3(4))

= 2a = 30 (subtract 12 from both sides)

= a = 15 (divide both sides by 2)


So, the cost of each adult’s meal was $15.

kodGreya [7K]
Mathematics is very important in a small business is because when you make money transactions with other people you need to know how to count money correctly and your calculations can’t be wrong. Mathematics is definitely helpful to me because Artificial Intelligence is taking on jobs, so we have to step up our game.

What will be the firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds? Do not round intermediate ca
Marysya12 [62]

Based on the short-term debt that Nelson raises, the firm's quick ratio will be 1.204.

<h3>What is the firm's quick ratio?</h3><h3 />

First, find the maximum amount of short-term funds that Nelson can raise?

Assuming this amount is x, we can find it with the current ratio formula:

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

2 = (1,260,000 + x) / ( 450,000 + x)

x = $360,000

The quick ratio would therefore be:

= ( New Current assets - New inventory) / New current liabilities

= ( (1,260,000 + 360,000) - (285,000 + 360,000) ) / (450,000 + 360,000)

= 1.204
