Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Multiply the second equation's terms by 3. Solve for x.
Step-by-step explanation:
You will get:
2x+9y=28
9x-9y=42
Add them to get:
11x=70.
You can solve from there.
25 students
194 balloons
194/25 = 7.76
Each student gets 7 balloons, 7 x 25 = 175 balloons will be used
194 - 175 = 19 balloons remaining (Answer to part 1 of this question)
If each student needs 8 balloons
8 * 25 = 200
200 - 194 = 6 ballons needed (Answer to part 2 of this question)
We also could have found the answer to part 2 by saying that we had 19 balloons left over when the students each were given 7 balloons
Each student needs another 1 balloon = 25 balloons,
We have 19 left over
25 - 19 = 6 balloons need to be purchased (we got the same answer both ways so it is very likely we have the correct answer)
$9.47
I just multiplied the total by the refund percentage to get that number. It’s just like finding a tip.
