The local skating rink pays Mary a fixed rate per pupil plus a base amount to work as a skating instructor. She earns $90 for in

structing 15 students on Monday afternoon. Last Friday, she earned $62 for working with 8 students. Lisa is also a skating instructor. She receives half the base amount that Mary does, but she is paid twice as much per student. Who would earn more money instructing a class of 20 students?

The expressions for the payment made to Mary are,
         (Monday)      90 = 15m + b
         (Tuesday)     62 = 8m + b
where m and b are the fee per student and the base fee, respectively. Solving for m and b, the values are 4 and 30. 
The equation that represents Mary's earning is 
                                    y = 4x + 30
 For 20 students,
                                    y = 4(20) + 30 = 110
For Lisa's earnings,
                                     y = 8x + 15
Substituting 20,
                                    y  =8(20) + 15 = 175
Thus, Lisa would earn more than Mary by $65.

without using a calculator decide which option is better value for money: 300g Jelly beans $5.80 or 500g Jelly beans $9.90
yarga [219]

Answer:

500g Jelly beans $9.90

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the values.

Let's know how much a gram will cost in each case

300g Jelly beans $5.80

1g = 5.8/300

1 g = 0.01933

500g Jelly beans $9.90

1g = 9.9/500

1g =0.0198

It's obvious that the second one has more value placed on it as it cost more per gram
