Answer:

275 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of miles Alan has to drive to get the same cost for tha two plans.

1 plan: total cost

55+0.50x

2 plan: total cost

0.7x

Equate them:

55+0.5x=0.7x\\ \\55=0.2x\\ \\550=2x\\ \\x=275

Answer:

275 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You can express the cost of each plan as follows:

Plan 1: 55+0.50x

Plan 2: 0.70x

x is the amount of miles driven

As you need to find the amount of miles where the two plans cost the same, you can equate them and solve for x:

55+0.50x= 0.70x

55= 0.70x-0.50x

55= 0.2x

x= 55/0.2

x= 275

Alan needs to drive 175 miles for the two plans to cost the same.

Justine charges $25 to wash a dog. She washed 5 dogs on Saturday and then some more on Sunday. She made $325 for the weekend. Ho
Marrrta [24]

Answer

• A. Equation: 25(5 + x) = 325

,

• B. Answer: 8 dogs

Explanation

Given

• Charge to wash a dog: $25.

• She washed 5 dogs on Saturday and then some more on Sunday.

• She made $325 for the weekend.

Procedure

She charges $25 per wash, she made $325 for the weekend, and we know that on Saturday she washed 5 dogs, but we don't know how many she washed on Sunday. Thus, we have to build an equation in which the number of dogs washed on Sunday is represented by x (as we do not know the real number).

Considering that the total money made has to be equal to the multiplication of the charge times the dogs washed, the equation is:

25(5+x)=325

Then, we have to solve for x to know how many dogs did she wash on Sunday.

0. Multiplying the parenthesis

125+25x=325

<em>2. Subtracting 125 from both sides of the equation</em>

125-125+25x=325-12525x=200

<em>3. Dividing both sides of the equation against 25</em>

\frac{25x}{25}=\frac{200}{25}x=8
