The number of people travelled by train from the station on tuesday is 357.

Let us assume the number of people who travelled by train from the station on tuesday be x. Using the concept of ratio and proportion to solve and calculate x.

Forming the ratio-

20 : 17 = 420 : x

Solving the ratio and proportion for the value of x

x = (420 × 17) ÷ 20

Performing multiplication in numerator

x = 7140 ÷ 20

Performing division on Right Hand Side of the equation

x = 357

Therefore, based on the information, 357 people used to travel.

Lauren in making 15 liters of mimosas for a brunch banquet. Orange juice costs her $1.50 per liter and champagne costs her $12 p
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

  • 10 liters of orange juice
  • 5 liters of champagne

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of liters of champagne Lauren uses. Then (15-c) will be the number of liters of orange juice. The total cost of the mix will be ...

  12c +1.50(15-c) = 5.00(15)

  10.5c = 52.50 . . . . . subtract 22.50, simplify

  52.50/10.5 = c = 5 . . . . divide by the coefficient of c

Then the amount of orange juice is ...

  15 -c = 15 -5 = 10 . . . . liters

Lauren should use 5 liters of champagne and 10 liters of orange juice.
