Answer:
1.2 times or 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function ; f(x) = 830(1.2)^x
This is an exponential function ;
Recall the general form of an exponential function ; f(x) = ab^x ;
Where a = Initial value ; b = growth rate
Hence, b = 1.2
Also, b = 1 + r
1.2 = 1 + r
r = 1.2 - 1
r = 0.2
r = 0.2 * 100% = 20%
We need a system of equations here, one equation based on the NUMBER of tickets sold and another based on the MONEY earned by the sales. We have 2 different types of tickets: full price (f) and discount (d). The total number of tickets sold is 428; therefore, the first equation is f + d = 428. That accounts for the number of tickets sold. Each full price is 10.25 which can be represented as 10.25f, and each discount ticket costs 8 which can be represented as 8d. The money earned by selling these tickets at those prices was 3946. That means that the second equation is 10.25f + 8d = 3946. We will solve the first bolded equation for f to get f = 428 - d. Sub that value in for f in the second bolded equation: 10.25(428-d) + 8d = 3946. Distribute to get 4387 - 10.25d + 8d = 3946. Combine like terms to get -2.25d = -441. Solving for d we get 196. That means that there were 196 discounted tickets sold. Put that in for d in the first bolded equation to find the number of full price tickets. f + 196 = 428, and f = 232. There were 232 full price tickets sold. There you go!
Answer: 1 van can hold 18 people, and 1 bus can hold 53 people.
What we know: Class A rented 2 filled vans and 7 buses with 407 students.
Class B rented and filled 1 van and 7 buses with 389 students.
What we need to know: How many students can a van carry? How many students can a bus carry?
Equation A: 2v + 7b = 407
Equation B: 1v + 7b = 389
Variables used: v = amount of people that can fill a van and b = amount of people that can fill a bus
This is quite a simple equation, because we know that class A used 1 more van than Class B, and the question says that each vehicle was full. So, all you have to do it subtract 389 from 407 to get 18. That means that 1 can can hold 18 people.
Now you just plug it in to find the value for b, 1(18) + 7b = 389
7b = 371
b = 53
So the amount of people that can fit on a van is 18, and the amount of people that can ft on a bus is 53.
when dividing two fractions ex:
(1/3) / (1/6)
we take the reciprocal (we switch the bottom and top numbers) of the second fraction and then change the division into multiplication
(1/3) x (6/1)
multiply across to get
6/3
which is 2
hope this helps
