Answer:
Let x represents the Sara eat pancake and y represents the Phil eat the pancake.
As per the statement:
Phil ate three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara.
"Twice as many pancake as Sara" means 2x
"three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara" means 2x -3
⇒
.....[1]
It is also given that together they combined to eat 15 pancakes.
⇒
.....[2]
Substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;

Combine like terms;
3x-3 =15
Add 3 to both sides we get;
3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3 we get;
x = 6
Substitute the value of x in [1] we get;
y = 2(6)-3 = 12-3 =9
y = 9
Therefore, the pancakes did each eat are;
Sara eat pancake = 6 and Phil eat pancake = 9
N = number of hours.
$5 per hour, total = 5*n = $5n
Since $35 has been saved.
The amount saved plus the amount got from baby sitting should be greater or equal to the $90 cost.
5n + 35 ≥ 90
5n ≥ 90 -35
5n ≥ 55
n ≥ 55/5
n ≥ 11
So Rodney should baby sit for at least 11 hours, that is 11 and above.
Answer:
160
Step-by-step explanation:
If there were only 2 options, all the people who didn't pick one chose the other one.
So if 25% of the people voted for the aquarium the remaing 75% voted for the zoo.
Since three times as many people voted for the zoo, we can see that 120/3=40, so 40 people chose the aquarium.
To find the total number of students, we add 120 and 40 to get <u>160</u>
