Each pound of potato salad serves 6 people and the average number of pounds of potato salad that each person is served will be 
pound.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
At a party of 102 people, 17 pounds of potato salad is served.
<u>a.</u> Suppose, each pound of potato salad is served to 
number of people.
So, 17 pounds of salad is served to 
or 
number of people. That means......
So, each pound of potato salad is served to 6 people.
<u>b.</u> Suppose, the average number of pounds of potato salad that each person is served is 
So, the total number of pounds of salad, served to 102 people 
pounds 
pounds. That means .....
So, the average number of pounds of potato salad that each person is served will be pound.
Answer:a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
you can round the numbers
27/3= 9
27.36 rounds down to 27 and 3.14 rounds to 3
(a) If we let x be the number of miles and y be the total cost, the equation for relating the number of miles and the total cost would be,
y = 0.4x + 48
(b) If the rental cost is 60,
60 = 0.4x + 48
The value of x from the equation is 30.
(c) You may prepare the table of values by allowing x be any number and then solve for y until we arrive with an answer for y being equal to 60.
First, we combine the terms on the left side of the equation to simplify the equation. Then we divide both sides by -3. k then equals 1/3.
To check, we plug in our value for k into the original equation:
We found k to be 1/3, so for every instance of k, we plug in 1/3. To simplify, we combine the left side to get -1, and we combine the right side to get -1.
Since -1 = -1, our solution is correct.
