Let T = cost of a taco
Let S = cost of a salad

(2 tacos + 1 salad) + (8 % of 2 tacos and 1 salad) + 3 = 13.80

2T + S + .08(2T + S) + 3 = 13.80
2T + 2.5 + .08(2T + 2.5) + 3 = 13.80
2T + 2.5 + .16T + .20 + 3 = 13.80
2.16T + 5.7 = 13.80
2.16T = 8.10
T = 8.10/2.16 = $3.75

Check: 2T + S + .08(2T + S) + 3 = 13.80
2(3.75) + 2.50 + .08(2(3.75)+2.5) + 3 = 13.80
7.5 + 2.5 + .08(10) + 3 = 13.8
13.80 = 13.80

Answer:

22,950

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 51,550 and 28,600. 0 - 0 = 0 then 5-0=5 5-6 you can not do so you barrow from the 1. 1 becomes 0 and 5 becomes 15. 15-6=9. 0-8 you can not do so you need to borrow from the 5. 5 becomes 4 and 0 becomes 10. 10-8=2. Finally, 4-2=2. Put is all together and you have 22,950.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Option c. 104 people

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1 desk : 4 people

For 2 desks: 6 people

For 3 desks: 8 people

<em>For 51 desks: </em>

<em>We can see the pattern in the number of people that can be seated on the tables. </em>

Using arithmetic series: 4,6,8,....

a(n) = a1 + (n-1)d

n = 51

d = a2 - a1 = 6 - 4 = 2

a(51) = 4 + (51 - 1) 2

       = 4 + (50)2

       = 4 + 100

       = 104
