Start with how much profit they are making off each race entry. People pay $55 to race, but $15 of that is expenses so they are only profiting $40 for each entry. Now write one side of the equality. They start with $10,000 in donations, and then have a $40 profit for each race entry. So 10,000+40x. X will represent the unknown number of race entries. What do we want that expression to be equal to? We want 10000+40x>55000. It can also be greater than or equal to, not just greater than.
Solve for x. Subtract 10000 from each side resulting in 40x>45000. Divide each side by 40 to solve for x. X>1125. X needs to bbe greater than or equal to 1125. If there are 1125 race entries, the charity will profit exactly $55000, so the lowest number of race entries is 1125
Let's first convert that amount of money into cents, which makes 336 cents. Then, let's denote the amount of money one of the boys has with x. The other boy has got 3x-12 amount of money. We can construct an equation.
. Solving it we find that x=87 cents or $ 0.87 and the other boy holds $2.49 amount of money.
You have to do 91/13 which is 7 which means that each hen lays 7 eggs per week so the unit rate is 7
2x + y = 8
x - y = 10
--------------add
3x = 18
x = 6
x - y = 10
6 - y = 10
-y = 10 - 6
-y = 4
y = -4
solution is : (6,-4)
Answer:
10 milligrams of Medication A
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll write proportions/ratios for this:
20:16 is the usual proportion, and x:8 is this week's dose. The ratio from A to B has to be equal, so
20/16 = x/8
Cross-multiply:
(20)(8) = (16)(x)
160 = 16x
divide both sides by 16
x = 10
