Answer:
$14.8
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a mistype in the question. It should say: ... <em>si cada uno de ellos hicieron una contribución de </em><em>dieciseis</em><em> pesos...</em>
So if everybody contributes $14, they make a total of 14*x, where x denotes the number of students. In this scenario, $4 are left, calling y to the cost of the trip, then:
14*x = y - 4 (eq. 1)
In the other scenario, everybody contributes $16 and $6 are in excess, so
16*x = y + 6 (eq. 2)
subtracting eq. 1 to eq. 2:
16*x - 14*x = y + 6 - (y - 4)
2*x = y + 6 - y + 4
2*x = 10
x = 10/2 = 5
Replacing this value in eq. 1:
14*5 = y - 4
70 + 4 = y
y = $74
If every student pays: 74/5 = $14.8, then they would get altogether the exact cost of the trip
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
when there is a - in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression
6+14+(-2)
then calculate the sum or difference
6+14-2= 18
Answer:
The correct choice is the third answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The arrow on top of the letters means that they would be parallel. If you look closely at the diagram, you can see that both QR and TU go in the same direction and will never intersect.
Answer:
4D - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
So, if Ted saves $D for 4 weeks, then this amount will be equal to 4D because multiplication is simply repeated addition. We can imagine this situation as D+D+D+D, for the 4 weeks he is saving. We can simplify this to 4D in the expression.
Next, the question tells us that this will be 1 dollar more than needed. So, if we want to find the cost, we need to subtract that dollar.
Thus, the final expression is 4D - 1 because this represents 1 dollar less than the money he saves for 4 weeks.
