Answer:
286 students attended
148 non students attended
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): Number of students
Represent students with S and non students with N
So:
--- (1)
--- (2)
Make N the subject of formula in (1)
Substitute 434 - S for N in (2)

Divide through by -2
<em>Hence; 286 students attended</em>
Solving (b):
Recall that
<em>148 non students attended</em>
The perimeter of a square is the sum of its sides and they are all equal, so to obtain the length of each of them we divide the perimeter of the first fence between 4:
P1= 64 feet/4 sides
P1= 16 feet
Then, the length of each side of the second fence will increase 2 feet at each end, as shown in the figure. We have then that the perimeter of the second fence is:
P2 = 20 feet x 4 sides
P2 = 80 feet
The sum of the perimeters of both fences is:
PT = P1 + P2
PT = 64 feet + 80 feet
PT = 144 feet
Total cost = 1.17 $ x 144 feet
Total cost = 168.48 $
The total cost of the fences was $ 168.48
