84 to 62. You have to subtract 146-84 to get the number of girls from the class.

The cost of purchasing a bag of rice is partly constant and partly varies inversely as the square root of the number of people d

algol [13]

Answer:

(a) 160 Naira

(b) Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

$y \to$ cost of bag of rice

$x \to$ people demanding the bag

So, we have:

$y\ = \frac{k}{\sqrt x} + c$ ---- The variation

$y = 100; x = 36$

$y = 150; x = 144$

We have:

$y\ = \frac{k}{\sqrt x} + c$

When: $y = 100; x = 36$

$100 = \frac{k}{\sqrt {36}} + c$

$100 = \frac{k}{6} + c$ -- (1)

When: $y = 150; x = 144$

$150 = \frac{k}{\sqrt {144}} + c$

$150 = \frac{k}{12} + c$ --- (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

$150 - 100 = \frac{k}{12} - \frac{k}{6} + c - c$

$50 = \frac{k}{12} - \frac{k}{6}$

Multiply through by 12

$600 = k - 2k$

$600 = -k$

$k = -600$

To solve for x, we have:

$100 = \frac{k}{6} + c$ -- (1)

This gives:

$100 = \frac{-600}{6} + c$

$100 = -100 + c$

$c = 100 + 100$

$c = 200$

So, the equation is:

$y\ = \frac{k}{\sqrt x} + c$

$y = -\frac{600}{\sqrt x} + 200$

Solving (1): y; when x = 225

We have:

$y = -\frac{600}{\sqrt x} + 200$

$y = -\frac{600}{\sqrt {225}} + 200$

$y = -\frac{600}{15} + 200$

$y = -40 + 200$

$y = 160$

Solving (2): x; when x = 200

We have:

$y = -\frac{600}{\sqrt x} + 200$

$200 = -\frac{600}{\sqrt x} + 200$

Collect like terms

$\frac{600}{\sqrt x} = 200 - 200$

$\frac{600}{\sqrt x} =0$

Cross multiply

$600 =0 * \sqrt x$

$600 =0$

<em>x is undefined</em>
