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.

Candy Crunchers wants to see if their new candy is enjoyed more by high school or middle school students. They decide to visit o
umka21 [38]
The sample % of these two populations would be 100/size (of student body at each school) x 100 so this would compare the two student bodies preferences for the particular type of candy bar. However, the actual % of the whole student body at each school would be a factor also. If the high school only had 200 students then this would be 50% representative but if the middle school had say 500 students this would only be 20% representative so this would have to be taken into account too. It might be more representative to have the same % of the student bodies respectively for the sample.
