Write and solve an equation of ratios (proportions)"

$300 x
--------- = ------- which results in x = 300/450 = 0.667 (approx.) or 20/3.
$450 1

and this works out to 67% (answer)</span>

A magazine subscription costs $29.88 for 12 issues or $15.24 for 6 issues. Which subscription costs more per issue? How much mor

Valentin [98]

Answer:

The magazine that cost $15.24 for 6 issues cost more by $0.60/60 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $15.24 is 6 issues each and you need to even out the issues add $15.24+$15.24 then you would get $30.48, because its 15.24 each 6 add them both and it would be 12 issues. And the first issue $29.88 for 12 issues is only $29.88 while the other is $30.48 so the one with 6 issues/the second cost more than the first.

60 cents more because 29.88+60=30.48.

Solve the following absolute value equations. Show the solution set and check your answers. |0.3-3/5k|-0.4=1.2

9966 [12]

Answer:

**The equation is not clear, so I have provided both options**

<h3><u>Option 1</u></h3>

$\left|0.3-\dfrac{3}{5}k\right|-0.4=1.2$

$\implies \left|0.3-\dfrac{3}{5}k\right|=1.6$

<u>Solution 1</u>

$\implies 0.3-\dfrac{3}{5}k=1.6$

$\implies -\dfrac{3}{5}k=1.3$

$\implies k=-\dfrac{13}{6}$

<u>Solution 2</u>

$\implies -(0.3-\dfrac{3}{5}k)=1.6$

$\implies -0.3+\dfrac{3}{5}k=1.6$

$\implies \dfrac{3}{5}k=1.9$

$\implies k=\dfrac{19}{6}$

<h3><u>Option 2</u></h3>

$\left|0.3-\dfrac{3}{5k}\right|-0.4=1.2$

$\implies \left|0.3-\dfrac{3}{5k}\right|=1.6$

<u>Solution 1</u>

$\implies 0.3-\dfrac{3}{5k}=1.6$

$\implies -\dfrac{3}{5k}=1.3$

$\implies -3=6.5k$

$\implies k=-\dfrac{6}{13}$

<u>Solution 2</u>

$\implies -(0.3-\dfrac{3}{5k})=1.6$

$\implies -0.3+\dfrac{3}{5k}=1.6$

$\implies \dfrac{3}{5k}=1.9$

$\implies 3=9.5k$

$\implies k=\dfrac{6}{19}$

17. Admission prices to Cinema I to see a movie are $9.50 for an adult and $6.50 for a child. The admission charge at Cinema II

maksim [4K]

Answer:

a. 9.5x + 6.5(x+c) < 8 when c>0

b. Must be one child more than the no. of adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Cinema 1:

for adult = $9.50

for child = $6.50

For Cinema 2:

Per person regardless of age = $8.00

First of all, we will find out the condition when per person rates in both cinema are equal.

Assume x = no. of adults

y = no. of children

Rate per person in Cinema I = Rate per person in Cinema II

(9.5x + 6.5y)/(x+y) = 8

9.5x + 6.5y = 8(x+y)

9.5x + 6.5y = 8x + 8y

9.5x-8x = 8y-6.5y

=> x = y

So rates are equal when no. of adults equals no. of children

For Cinema I to have better rates, no. of children should be atleast 1 more than the no. of adult. In this way the rate per person of Cinema I will be less than 8

Hence we form an inequality when y = x+c and c > 0

9.5x + 6.5(x+c) < 8 when c>0

Hence there must be 1 more children than the no. of adults attending Cinema I for it to be a better deal.
