Answer: 16
Solution:
1) Use letters to identify the variables:
Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c
2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.
2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets
=> t + c = 27
2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99
Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c
Total cost = 149t + 99c
2.3) Total sales were $3223
=> 149t + 99c = 3223.
3) State the system of equations:
Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223
4) Solve the system of equations:
4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:
=> 149t + 149c = 4023
4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1
=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223
=> 50c = 800
=> c = 800 / 50 = 16
5) Verify the solution:
From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11
Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223
Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets
To answer this question you need to first set up the small, medium, large number of cakes as a ratio with a total. From here you will create a new ratio of the correct number of small medium and large Cakes sold using the total 216. The factor would be to multiply by nine. -Step 1 in picture. After this you would read what the relationship is between a medium and a small and the large and the small profits are - Step 2 in picture. After this you would represents the total profit based on the number of small medium and large cakes that were sold. Making this equal to L648.45. To find the profit for one small, you would then divide 648.45 by the 495 you got when you simplify the expression. The answer is L1.31.
3/5 is 0.6
7/8 is 0.875
0.6/0.875 is 0.685714286
0.685714286 is 685714286/1000000000
(not so sure about it but that was what i came up with hope i helped)
Answer:
30 < m
The solution would be (30, ∞)
Explanation:
For company A:
The charge is: $96 for any number of mileage ..............> I
For company B:
The charge is $75 fixed and 0.7 for each mileage m. This means that the charge is: 75 + 0.7m .................> II
We want the charge of company A to be less than the charge of company B. This means that we want I to be less than II.
Therefore,
96 < 75 + 0.7m
96 - 75 < 0.7m
21 < 0.7m
21/0.7 < m
30 < m
This means that for any mileage greater than 30, the charge of company A will be less than the charge of company B
Hope this helps :)
