Answer:
112 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Let T be the total number of students in the band.
From the question,
We were told that 37.5% of the total owns their individual instruments and this amount to 42 students
The total number of students can calculated for as follows:
37.5% x T = 42
37.5/100 x T = 42
Cross multiply to express in linear form
37.5 x T = 100 x 42
Divide both side by 37.5
T = (100 x 42) /37.5
T = 112
Therefore, there are 112 students in the band
She’ll need 18 eggs.
2 eggs = 12 (dozen) muffins
108 muffins (needed) / 12 muffins
= 9 groups of 12 muffins
so therefore 2eggs x 9 groups of muffins = 18 eggs
The hotel is $250 plus $25 per person so the equation would be
y= 25x + 250
(Y is the total cost and x is the number of people)
the restaurant is $100 plus $40 per person so the equation would be
y = 40x + 100
What we want to know is which x value would make the y values equal to each other. So you can just replace the "y" in one equation with the other equation:
25x + 250 = 40x + 100
and then solve...
1. subtract 100 from both sides
25x + 150 = 40x
2. subtract 25x from both sides
150 = 15 x
3. divide both sides by 15
10 = x
you can check by plugging 10 into the original equations
25(10) + 250
250 + 250 = 500
and
40(10) + 100
400 + 100 = 500
they both cost $500 when you invite 10 people
