You divide by 8 on both sides of the equal(=) sign to find what q is. 64\8=8. 8q/8 =canceled out. leaving you with ur answer which is q=8. hope this helped <3
X = the number of minutes the phone is used
<u>Plan A:</u>
40¢ per minute ($0.40)
no other costs
<em>Cost for 1 month = 0.4 x</em>
<u>Plan B:</u>
$30 a month, even if you don't use the phone at all
100 free minutes
then 50¢ per minute ($0.50)
Cost for 1 month:
If 'x' is less than 100: <em>Cost = 30</em>
<span>
If 'x' is greater than 100</span>:
Cost = 30 + 0.5(x - 100) (Because the first 100 minutes are free, and
you only pay for minutes past 100. There are [x-100] of those.)
Eliminate parentheses: Cost = 30 + 0.5x - 50
Combine like terms: <em> Cost = 0.5x - 20</em>
Which plan costs more ? It depends on how many minutes you use in a month.
If you use a small number of minutes, Plan A costs you more.
If you use a huge number of minutes, Plan B costs you more.
Where is the crossover point ? It's the number of minutes in one month
where the costs of both plans are equal.
<u>If you use the phone for less than 100 minutes a month,</u>
(where the cost of Plan B starts increasing with each minute):
0.4x = 30
Divide each side by 0.4: <em>x = 75</em>
Less than 75 minutes per month, Plan A costs less.
Past 75 minutes a month, Plan A costs more than $30, so Plan B costs less,
until Plan B starts charging for extra minutes.
<u>If you use the phone for more than 100 minutes a month: </u>
0.4 x = 0.5 x - 20
Add 20 to each side: 0.4 x + 20 = 0.5 x
Subtract 0.4x from each side: 20 = 0.1 x
Multiply each side by 10: <em> 200 = x</em>
There it is.
Now we can combine the results:
-- Less than 75 minutes in a month: Plan A costs less.
-- Between 75-200 minutes in a month: Plan B costs less.
-- More than 200 minutes a month: Plan A costs less again.
Complicated ? Absolutely ! That's why citizens' consumer groups are after
these companies, to try to get them to make their plans more understandable
to regular people. I know from personal experience that even a lot of the
salesmen in the phone stores could not figure this out and give you sound advice.
Find the mean of the following set of data. Round your answer to two decimal places.23, 50, 49, 48, 49, 32, 37, 40, 41, 42, 41,
tekilochka [14]
Mean is adding all of the values and then dividing them by the number of values there are. Your answer should be 41.23 if my math lacks errors. Hope it helps!
Answers:
A. 6 Large taxis = 42 seats 9 Small taxis = 36 seats = 78 seats in total
B. 6 Large taxis = $498 + 9 Small taxis = $450 498+450= $948
C. 5 Large taxis and 10 Small taxis
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 6 Large taxis = 42 seats 9 Small taxis = 36 seats = 78 seats in total
If I did 8 small taxis the total number of seats would be 74, so I did one small taxi more to make it fair. There would be seats for everyone but 3 seats extra
B. 6 Large taxis = $498 + 9 Small taxis = $450 498+450=948
C. 5 Large taxis and 10 Small taxis
While the more small taxis there are, the more cheaper it is for Max but the less seats there would be for 75 people, So I did 1 more small taxi and 1 less large taxi.
The total number of seats now is 75 seats which is perfect amount for 75 people
So the total cheaper cost would $915 while still maintaining a fair amount of seats which is 75
