Answer:
Number of week day hours purchased is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of Parking hours purchased = 26 parking hours
Parking cost on weekdays = $2 per hour
Parking costs on weekends = $10 per hour
Total amount spent on parking = $220.
To Find:
Number of week days purchased = ?
Solution:
Let
The number of week days purchased be x
The number of weekends purchased be y
We know that the total hours purchased is 26
So,
x+y = 26
y = 26-x------------------------------------------------------(1)
Now the total cost is 220
(Total number of weekdays X cost per weekday ) +(Total number of weekends + cost per weekend) =220
Substituting the values
=> = 220
=>
=>2x + 260 -10x =220
=>260 -8x = 220
=>260 -220 =8x
=>40 = 8x
=>x=
x= 5-------------------------------------------(2)
Now substituting (2) in (1) we get
y= 26-5
y= 21
Let us convert the percentages to decimal format first.. so 5% is just 5/100 or 0.05 and 15% is just 15/100 or 0.15
so hmmm, so, let's say it needs "x" amount and "y" amount of each respectively, so, whatever "x" and "y" are, they must add up to 100, and whatever their concentration is, must add up to what the mixture yields
thus
solve for "x"
what's "y"? well, y = 100 - x
