Hello there!
To find which tuna is a better deal, divide the cost by the number of ounces of tuna you are getting to get the cost per ounce.
$0.90/5 = $0.18 per ounce
$2.40/12 = $0.20 per ounce
Since the 5-ounce can of tuna has a cheaper unit rate price, meaning you are getting a better value, makes this the best option. I hope this was helpful and have a great day! :)
First of all, it's not pie. It's pi.
Now, the problem.
Radius is always 1/2 x d (d meaning diameter)
That gives us 5.
The formula is 3.14 x 5^2(h/3)
If you solve it from left to right, you get 130.83
<span>let x = the original no. of students
then
(x+10) = the actual no. that went on the trip
:
= the original cost per student
and
= the actual cost
:
Original cost - actual cost = $12.50
- = 12.50
multiply equation by x(x+10)
x(x+10)* - x(x+10)* = 12.50x(x+10)
Cancel the denominators
1500(x+10) - 1500x = 12.5x(x+10)
1500x + 15000 - 1500x = 12.5x^2 + 125x
Combine on the right to form a quadratic equation
0 = 12.5x^2 + 125x - 15000
Simplify, divide equation by 12.5
x^2 + 10x - 1200 = 0
You can use the quadratic formula; a=1; b=10; c=-1200, but this will factor to
(x + 40(x - 30) = 0
The positive solution is what we want here
x = 30 students in the original group
Check this by finding the cost per student for each scenario
1500/30 = $50.00; original cost
1500/40 = $37.50; actual cost

saving: $12.50</span>
