Total people x,
then, 3.5x + 5.5x + 6 = 51
simplify, 9x +6 = 51
subtract 6 on both sides, 9x= 45
divide by 9 on both sides, x= 5
therefore, total 5 people in the family.
25% is a fourth of something so first round $34.99 to about $35 and just get one fouth of it which would be a little less than $9 but if you put it into the calculator it will tell you that it is about $8.75 (to calculate using the calculator you need to chane the percentage to a decimal and multiply it)
