Using a system of equations, it is found that:

  • A van can carry 18 students.
  • A bus can carry 38 students.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

For this problem, the variables are given by:

  • Variable x: Number of students that a van can carry.
  • Variable y: Number of students that a bus can carry.

A rented and filled 14 vans and 5 buses with 442 students, hence:

14x + 5y = 442.

High School B rented and filled 5 vans and 5 buses with 280 students, hence:

5x + 5y = 280.

Simplifying by 5:

x + y = 56.

y = 56 - x.

Hence:

14x + 5(56 - x) = 442.

9x = 162

x = 162/9

x = 18.

Then:

y = 56 - x = 56 - 18 = 38.

Hence:

  • A van can carry 18 students.
  • A bus can carry 38 students.

The admission fee to a video game arcade is $1.25 per person, and it costs $0.50 for each game played. Latoya and donnetta
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

15 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: The admission fee to a video game arcade is $1.25 per person, and it costs $0.50 for each game played. Latoya and donnetta have total $10.00 to spend. What is the greatest number of games they will be able to play?

Given: Admission fees= $1.25 per person.

           Cost of each game played= $0.50.

           Total Money, Latoya and Donnetta have is $10.

First lets find total admission fees both will pay.

∴ Total addmission fees= Fees\ per\ person \times number\ of\ person

Total addmission fees= \$1.25\times 2= \$ 2.50

Now, money remaining after paying admission fees.

Money remaining = Total\ money - Admission\ fees

∴ Money remaining = \$10-\$2.5= \$ 7.5

∴ Money remained to play video games is $7.5.

Next, finding the maximum number of games, both will be able to play.

As we know, each game will cost $0.50.

Total number of games played= \frac{Money\ remaining}{Cost\ of\ each\ game}

⇒ Total number of games played=\frac{\$ 7.5}{\$ 0.5} = 15\ games

∴ 15 games is the maximum number of games they will be able to play.

A frog leaps 24 inches. The highest point in the jump is 6 inches. Assume the frog starts at (0,0). What quadratic function mode
Ivanshal [37]
The path is in the shape of a parabola, the horizontal length is 24, so the middle point is at x=12, the symmetry line is x=12, the highest point (the vertex) is at (12,6)
the equation in vertex form is y=a(x-12)²+6
next, find a by using either one of the two points, the starting point (0,0) or the end point (0,24). obviously (0,0) is easier to calculate:
0=a(0-12)² +6
a=-1/24
so the quadratic equation is y=-\frac{1}{24} (x-12)^2+6
