Answer:

Power company A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Power company A sells of  1 Kwhr  electricity=$0.04

Power company  B sells  of  1 kw hr electricity=$0.03

Power company B additional  monthly charge for electricity=$100

Total business uses electricity in 1 month=4000 kwhr

We have to find which company should used by me.

Power company A sells  of  4000 kwhr electricity =0.04\times 4000=$160

Power company B sells of  4000 kwhr  electricity=4000\times 0.03=$120

Power company B sells  of 4000 kwhr electricity=120+100=$220

Hence, Power company A should used by me because it is cheaper than  company B.

student tickets for the football game cost $12 each and adult ticket cost $20 $1,720 was collected for the 120 ticket sold at la
erik [133]

Answer:

85 student tickets and 35 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Howdy!

We know that student tickets cost $12, adult ticket cost $20 and 120 tickets were sold.

So:

$12×A + $20×B = $1,720. Where A and B are the number of student tickets and adult tickets sold, respectively.

Given that 120 tickets were sold in total, we have that:

A + B = 120

So the system of equations to be solved is the following:

$12×A + $20×B = $1,720                    (1)

A + B = 120                                          (2)

Solving for 'A' in equation (2) we get:

A = 120 - B

Substituting this value into equation (1) we get:

$12×(120 - B) + $20×B = $1,720

Solving for 'B' we have:

$12×(120 - B) + $20×B = $1,720

$1,440 - $12×B + $20×B = $1,720

$1,440 + $8×B = $1,720

$8×B = $1,720 - $1,440

$8×B = $280

B = 35 tickets.

Given that B = 35, then A = 120 - 35 = 85 tickets.

So 85 student tickets and 35 adult tickets were sold.

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet. Its length is 12 feet longer than the width. Find the length and wid
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Length = 17 feet, Width = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet.

Its length is 12 feet longer than the width.

Question asked:

Find the length and width of the wall of the barn.

Solution:

Let width of a rectangular wall of a barn = x

<u>As length is 12 feet longer than the width.</u>

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = 12+x

As we know:

Area\ of\ rectangle=length\times breadth

85=(12+x)x\\\\85=12x+x^{2} \\

Subtracting both sides by 85

x^{2} +12x-85=0\\x^{2} +17x-5x-85=0\\Taking\ common\\x+(x+17)-5x(x+17)=0\\(x+17)(x-5)=0\\x+17=0, x-5=0\\x=-17,x=5

As width can never be in negative, hence  width of a rectangular wall of a barn = x = 5 feet

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = 12+x=12+5=17\ feet

Therefore, length and width of the wall of the barn is 17 feet and 5 feet respectively.
