Number of people that chose salad = 81
Percentage of people that chose salad over meat dish = 27%
Let us assume the number of people on the survey = x
Then
27% * x = 81
(27/100) * x = 81
27x = 81 * 100
27x = 8100
x = 8100/27
   = 300
So a total of 300 people participated in the survey.I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. Based on this method you can always solve similar types of problems without requiring any kind of help from outside.

Which of the following shows the solution to the inequality
otez555 [7]

Answer:

I got x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First to isolate the variable you add 3 to both sides which will give you 1/2x is less than or equal to 2. Then divide both sides by 1/2 and you will get x = 1. To check the answer I just did:    

1/2(1) -3 \leq -1\\1/2 -3\leq -1\\-2.5\leq -1

And since -2.5 is less than -1 this statement is true. x does in fact equal 1

Jackie has 10 groups of pennies with 3 pennies in each group. Carlos has 5 groups of pennies with 100 pennies in each group. Who
Tcecarenko [31]
Answer=Carlos

If Jackie has 10 groups, with 3 in each groups, she has 30 total pennies.

10*3=30 pennies

If Carlos has 5 groups with 100 in each group, then Carlos has 500 pennies.

5*100=500 pennies

500 pennies is more than 30 pennies, so Carlos has more pennies

A ladder that is 13 meters long is leaning against a wall. The distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall is 7 meters
Maksim231197 [3]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The equation that is used to model the length of ladder in terms of x is:

                   x^2-7x-60=0

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We can model this problem with the help of a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 meters and the other two legs are x meters and (x-7) meters.

where x is the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.

and (x-7) is the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall.

Hence, using Pythagorean Theorem we have:

13^2=x^2+(x-7)^2\\\\i.e.\\\\169=x^2+x^2+49-14x\\\\i.e.\\\\169=2x^2-14x+49\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x+49-169=0\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x-120=0\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2-7x-60=0

                 Hence, the answer is:

                  x^2-7x-60=0

six friends are going to the state fair.The cost of one admission is $9.50, and the cost for one ride on the Ferris wheel is $1.
larisa86 [58]

We are given

total number of friends =6

the cost of one admission is $9.50

now, we can find total cost for admission

total cost for admission= total number of friends*cost of one admission

total cost for admission=6*9.50

we are given

cost for one ride on the Ferris wheel is $1.50

now, we can find total cost for Ferris wheel ride

total cost for Ferris wheel ride= total number of friends*cost of one ride

total cost for Ferris wheel ride=6*1.50

now, we can find total cost

total cost =total cost for admission+total cost for Ferris wheel ride

total cost=6*9.50+6*1.50

now, we can solve it

total cost=6(9.50+1.50)

total cost=6*11

total cost=66

so, the total cost is $66...........Answer
