P = pizza and c =cakes
Last week: 8p + 13c = 134
Today: 28p + 4c = 220
Let’s take the formula for today and subtract 28p from each side to isolate the 4c.
4c = 220 - 28p
Now divide each side by 4
c = (220 - 28p)/4
Simplify to c = 55 - 7p
Now go to the formula for last week, substitute the c for 55-7p
8p + 13(55 - 7p) = 134
8p + 715 - 91p = 134
Simplify to 715 - 83p = 134
Let’s add 83p to each side.
715 = 134 + 83p
Subtract 134 from each side
581 = 83p
Divide each side by 83
p = $7
Answer:
480 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation where x is the number of people surveyed:
180 = (x)(0.375)
Solve for x:
180 = (x)(0.375)
480 = x
So, Annette surveyed 480 people
By using what we know about right triangles, we conclude that the height is 11ft.
<h3>
How far is the top of the escalator from the ground floor? </h3>
We can think of this as a right triangle.
Where the length of the escalator is the hypotenuse
We know that the angle of depression is 42.51°, then the top angle of our right triangle is:
90° - 42.51° = 47.49°
Now, the height of the top of the escalator would be the adjacent cathetus to said angle, then we can use the relation:
cos(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
Replacing what we know:
cos(47.49°) = height/16ft
cos(47.49°) *16ft = height = 10.8ft
Rounding to the nearest foot, we get:
height = 11ft
