Answer:

The family will pay 34722 cents more if they take the van

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Van = 12 miles per gallon

Sedan = 36 miles per gallon

Distance = 2500 miles

Gas = $2.50 per gallon

First, we need to determine the number of gallons that'll be used by both vehicles

This  is done by dividing total distance by number of miles per gallon

Van = \frac{2500}{12} \ gallon

Sedan = \frac{2500}{36}\ gallon

Next, is to multiply this by the cost of gas per gallon;

This gives the total spendable amount on both vehicles

Van = \frac{2500}{12} * \$2.50

Van = \frac{\$6250}{12}

Van = \$520.833

Sedan = \frac{2500}{36}* \$2.50

Sedan = \frac{\$6250}{36}

Sedan = \$173.611

Next is to get the difference between these amounts

Difference = \$520.833 - \$173.611

Difference = \$347.222

Multiply by 100 to convert to cents

Difference = 347.222 * 100 cents

Difference = 34722.2 \ cents

Difference = 34722\ cents (Approximated)

Hence;

<em>The family will pay 34722 cents more if they take the van</em>

For a school play, 739 tickets valued at $857 were sold. Some cost $1 and others cost a $1.50. How many $1 tickets were sold?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

503 $1 tickets sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use two equations  

Let x = number of $1 tickets sold  

Let y = number of $1.50 tickets sold  

x + y = 739  

1x + (1.5)y = 857  

First equation ==> y = 739 - x  

Plug this into the second equation  

x + (1.5)(739 - x) = 857  

x + 1108.5 - 1.5x = 857  

- 0.5x = -251.5  

x = 503  

There were 503 $1 tickets sold.  

To find the number of $1.50 tickets, just plug this value of x into either one of the equations.  

(503) + y = 739       (739 - 503 = 236)

y = 236  

There were 236 $1.50 tickets sold.

You own three different rings. You wear all three rings, but no two of the rings are on the same finger, nor are any of them on
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Therefore you can wear your rings in =336 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication Law: If one occurs in x ways and second event occurs in y ways.Then the number of ways that two event occur in sequence is xy

Given that you have 3 different rings.

We have total 10 figures.

But you don't wear ring on your thumbs.

We have 2 thumbs.

So you can wear rings on (10-2) = 8 figures.

The ways of wearing of first ring is = 8

The ways of wearing of second ring is = 7

The ways of wearing of third ring is = 6

Therefore you can wear your rings in =(8×7×6)

                                                             =336 ways
