The net amount they raise is the amount they receive minus what they pay in expenses.
They receive:
$10,000 fixed amount in donations
$55 per person
They pay:
$15 per person
If there are x number of entries, they receive 55x from the entries.
Also, they pay 15x for the entries.
The net amount they raise is amount they receive min us amount they pay:
55x + 10,000 - 15x
which simplifies to
40x + 10,0000
They want to raise at least $55,000.
At least $55,000 means $55,000 or more.
They want to raise an amount greater than or equal to $55,000.
Now we write the inequality:
40x + 10,000 >= 55,000
Now we solve the inequality for x, the number of entries.
40x >= 45,000
x >= 1125
They must have 1125 or more race entries to raise $55,000.
(4,12) is the correct answer
11183333.3/10^7 = 1.11x10^-7.
Rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator to find the difference:
2/3 = 4/6
Difference = 4/6-5/6 = -1/6
Sequence formula = an = a1 + d(n-1)
A1 is the first term 5/6
And d = -1/6
Sequence = 5/6 -1/6(n-1)
Simplify to get an =(-n +6)/6
2x + 3y = 630
x + y = 245 then you want to get rid of x so in the second equation × by -2 and get -2x -2y =-490 subtract this equation from the first to get y=$140 substitute 140 in for y and get x= $105 and 2x=210 and 3y=420 210 +420=630
