1st set = 4 letters
2nd set = 4x 4 = 16 letters
3rd set = 16 x 4 = 64 letters
4th set = 64 x 4 = 256 letters
5th set = 256 x 4 = 1,024 letters
6th set =1024 x 4 = 4,096 letters
7th set = 4096 x 4 = 16,384 letters
8th set = 16,384 x 4 = 65,536 letters
Each letter cost 2
Total cost = 65,536 x 2 = 131,072
Answer:
The results don't make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
"x" is the number of children's tickets
"y" is the number of adult tickets
Thus:
8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259
x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y
replacing we have:
8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259
280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259
- 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280
0.75 * y = -21
y = -21 / 0.75
y = -28
Thus:
x = 35 - (-28) = 63
With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.
Answer:
$12
Step-by-step explanation:
amount of tax = $0.72
percent of tax= 6%
Let the original cost be x
so that
6% of x= 0.72
solve for x
6/100*x= 0.72
0.06x= 0.72
divide both sides by 0.06
x= 0.72/0.06
x=$12
Hence the cost is $12
