Answer:

The answer to your question is there were 88 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total number of people = 188

total cost = $5040

12 more adults than seniors

number of children = ?

adults = a

children = c

Process

1.- Write equations that help to solve this problem

             a + c = 188              Equation l

             a = c + 12                 Equation ll

2.- Solve by substitution. Substitute equation equation ll in equation l

           (c + 12) + c = 188

-Solve for c

            c + 12 + c = 188

            2c + 12 = 188

            2c = 188 - 12

            2c = 176

              c = 176 / 2

              c = 88

3.- Conclusion

There were 88 children

26. A book costs sh. (x - 300) and a pen costs sh (x + 100). If Ndagire pad sh. 3300 for 3 books and 2 pens, how much did she pa
saul85 [17]

Answer:

500 and 900

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 300) + 2(x + 100) = 3300 ← distribute parenthesis

3x - 900 + 2x + 200 = 3300

5x - 700 = 3300 ( add 700 to both sides )

5x = 4000 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 800

Then

cost of book = x - 300 = 800 - 300 = 500

cost of pen = x + 100 = 800 + 100 = 900

The simple interest due on a 6-month loan of $2,500 is $125. What is the monthly payment on the loan?
Elina [12.6K]
A person borrows $2500 and they must pay this amount back, plus the $125 in simple interest. In total, they must pay back 2500+125 = 2625 dollars.

Divide this amount over 6 months
2625/6 = 437.50

The monthly payment is $437.50, so the answer is choice B
