Let the school hire x buses and y vans.

A bus can hold 40 students and 3 teachers.
A van can hold 8 students and 1 teacher.

The number of students riding in  buses and vans is at least 400, therefore
40x + 8y ≥ 400          (1)

The number of teachers riding in buses and vans is at most 36, therefore
3x + y ≤ 36                (2)

Write (1) and (2) as
y ≥ 50 - 5x                 (3)
y ≤ 36 - 3x                 (4)

The equality portion of the solution of (3) and (4) is
36 - 3x = 50 - 5x
2x = 14
x = 7   =>  y = 36 - 3*7 = 15

A graph of the inequalities indicates the acceptable solution in shaded color, as shown below.

The minimum cost of renting buses and vans is
7*$1200 + 15*$100 =  $9900

Answer: The minimum cost is $9,900

<h3>Answer: Choice B) 8.57</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

The triangles are similar through the AA (angle angle) similarity rule. Note how the angle markers correspond and match up. Example: angle C and angle F both have triple angle markers to indicate these angles are congruent.

The corresponding sides pair up to form equal fractions. AB and DE form AB/DE which is equal to AC/DF, as these two sides correspond as well.

Therefore: AB/DE = AC/DF

Let's plug in the given values and isolate x

AB/DE = AC/DF

11/7 = (15+x)/15 ...... substitution

11*15 = 7*(15+x) ....... cross multiply

11*15 = 7*15+7*x ...... distribute

165 = 105+7x

165-105 = 105+7x-105 ..... subtract 105 from both sides

60 = 7x

7x = 60

7x/7 = 60/7 ............ divide both sides by 7

x = 8.57142857142858

x = 8.57 ..... rounding to the nearest hundredth
