Answer:

750

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: You are hosting a convention for a charitable organization. You pay a rental fee of \$28500 for the convention center, plus you pay the caterer \$13 for each person who attends the convention.

To Find: How many must attend if you are to break even with a ticket price of \$51.

Solution:

Rent of convention center =\$28500

Amount paid to caterer for each person =\$13

Cost of ticket of convention =\$51

Amount earned from each per person =\text{Cost of ticket}-\text{amount paid to caterer}

=51-13=\$38

To break even, the amount earned from all persons attending should be equal to rent

Let the number of persons be =\text{x}

Amount earned from all person =\text{amount earned from one person}\times\text{number of persons}

=\$38\text{x}

Total number of persons,  \text{x}=\frac{\text{Amount to be earned}}{\text{amount earned from one person}}

                                          =\frac{28500}{38}

                                          =750

Therefore 750 persons must attend the convention to break even with a ticket price of \$51.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

D) 12,656

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, as they have given us 3 quantities of plants in 1/2 an acre, we can work out the average amount of plants in 1 whole acre.

In the first 1/2 acre there were:

  • 291 plants

In the second 1/2 acre there were:

  • 327 plants

In the third 1/2 acre there were:

  • 286 plants

to work out the average, we add all these together then divide them by 3 (as there are 3 examples)

291 + 327 + 286 = 904

904 ÷ 3 = 301.3 (this is the average amount of plants in every 1/2 acre.) If we multiply this answer by 2 we will get the average amount of plants in every acre.

301.3 x 2 = 602.67 (average plants in every 1 acre) multiply by total acres (21) for your answer

602.67 x 21 = 12656 average plants in total

I hope this was helpful :-)

Use the given conditions to write an equation for each line in general form.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

It's the last choice:

2x + y - 1 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2y - 3 = 0

Convert to slope-intercept form in order to find the slope:

-2y = -x + 3

y = 1/2x - 3/2

So the slope  is 1/2.  The slope of a line perpendicular to this is -1 / 1/2 = -2.

Using the point-slope form to find  the required equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

x = 4 and y = -7 so we have:

y + 7 = -2(x - 4)

y + 7 = -2x + 8

2x + y - 1 = 0  is the answer.

Write an algebraic expression for each word phrase.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

63/h - 3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient means divide.

So the answer to the division is a quotient. 63/h is the quotient of the division.

Less means subtract so the subtraction that is taking place is

63/h - 3.14 and that's your answer.

Often with these questions, you start backwards as in this question.
