Answer:
The 70 represents the number of people waiting to by tickets at the exactly moment when the ticket booth is opened.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 70 represents the number of people waiting to by tickets at the exactly moment when the ticket booth is opened.
You can see this by setting the x value to 0, it is, in the precise moment when the booth opened (as x cant be negative, because there is no negative time, you could also think of 70 as the number of people waiting before the booth opens).
Peter's account is 910-40x, and Marla's account is 470-2x. This is a system, so you must find the number that makes both equations end up with the same number. Basically trial and error. Here is what I did:
Let's try the number 10. 910-400=510 and 470-20=450. I need a higher number.
Let's try 13 next. 910-520=390 and 470-26=444. Now the number has to be lower.
Let's try 12. 910-480=430 and 470-24=446. Close, and a little lower.
11.5 is too low, and 11.7 is too high. 11.6 has Equation 1 at 446 and Equation 2 at 446.8. Very close!
It is somewhere around 11.6. I hope that this can give you a start in figuring it out, because I don't believe in giving the complete answer, because then you do not learn anything from it.
Take the price of pears (£1.30 per kilogram) and multiply it by the amount of pears (7kg). You get 9.1 so now you take the total amount spent (£12.70) and subtract the 9.1 and you get 3.6 now that is the amount you spent on the apples. So take 3.6 and divide it by the amount of apples you got (2kg) you will get 1.8 and that is your overall answer.
