Answer:

3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break it down.

Sparkles used 12 balloons total to make 4 balloon animals. Divide 12 by 4, and you will get 3.

What I did for part 2 of the equation, is I multiplied 4 and 5 by 3 to ensure the variable matched my calculations. 4x3 is 12, and 5x3 is 15. add 12 and 15, and you will get 27 total balloons.

Answer:

3 balloons for each animal

Step-by-step explanation:

2p + 2g = 12      Jenny's Party

4p + 5g = 27     Roger's Party

use substitution

2g = 12 - 2p

g = 6-p

4p + 5(6-p) = 27

4p +30 - 5p = 27

-p + 30 = 27

- p = -3

p = 3

plug this back into one of the equations.

use Jenny's party

6 + 2g = 12

2g = 6

g = 3

Please help me with this word problem!!!

Answer:

The number of customers needed to break even is

\simeq 6775.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rent per month = $ 7200

Rent per year, $ 7200 \times 12

                        = $ 86400 -------------(1)

Insurance per year = $ 4200 ---------(2)

Total  direct cost  for 2 servers (withoout  tax) per year,

= $ 2 \times 15 \times 8 \times 5 \times 50

= $ 60000

Total cost for helper ( without tax) per year,

= $ 4 \times 15 \times 5 \times \50

= $ 15000

Total cost for employees per year (without tax),

= $ (60000 +15000)  = $ 75000

Total cost per year for employees including tax,

$ \frac {(75000 \times (100 + 6.2 + 1.45)}{100}

= $ \frac {(75000 \times 107.65 }{100}

= $ 80737.5 -----------------------(3)

So,

total cost for running the restaurant (except food)

= (1) + (2) + (3) = $ (86400 + 4200 + 80737.5)

= $ 171337.5

Average total profit per customer,

= ( Average per customer payment - average cost of food per customer)

= $ (45.47 - 20.18)

= $ 25.29

So, total number of customer needed to break even,

= \frac {171337.5}{25.29}

\simeq   6775
