1. Let x be the original amount of baseball cards,
2. half of x was lost so x divided by 2.
3. you buy 18 cards to replace some that were lost
4. You can find the awnser by subtracting 18 from 30, which is 12.
5. Now lets remember that half of your cards were lost. meaning that 12 is only half of what you started with.
6. 12 times 2 would be 24.
7. The Awnser is 24
8. To check your work, you can say x=24, 24 divided by 2 is 12, and 12 plus 18 is 30.
4x - 26 = 2x - 4....subtract 2x from both sides
4x - 2x - 26 = -4...add 26 to both sides
4x - 2x = -4 + 26...combine terms
2x = 22...divide both sides by 2
x = 22/2 = 11
OR
4x - 26 = 2x - 4.....subtract 4x from both sides
-26 = 2x - 4x - 4....add 4 to both sides
-26 + 4 = 2x - 4x...combine terms
-22 = -2x....divide both sides by -2
-22/-2 = x
11 = x
A:1500 x 2.99 +200= $4685
1500 ft^2=166.67 yard^2
B: 166.67 x 19.99+500= $3831.7333
= $3831.75
Company B is the better deal
Answer:
<u>$211.50</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Initially:
21 hours per week at 8.25 per hours means:
21 * 8.25 = 173.25 dollars per person
16 person = 16 * 173.25 = $2772 (total)
2nd phase:
2 more cashier = 16 + 2 = 18 cashiers
Per hour 0.25 more, so 8.25 + 0.25 = $8.50 per hour
1.5 hrs less than 21, so 21 - 1.5 = 19.5 hours
Hence,
18 * 19.5 * 8.50 = $2983.50 (new total)
Change in money paid = 2983.50 - 2772 = $211.50
