Answer:

$1500

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that

Rent = $100

Groceries and drinks = $1000

Insurance premiums = $10

Loan interest payment =$30

Clothes = $200

Utilities = $300

Home security fee = $200

Fixed cost are costs that does not vary and variable cost are costs that vary with goods and services.

In the given problem, rent , insurance premiums, loans interest payment ad home security fee are fixed cost.

Groceries and drinks, clothes and utilities are variable cost.

So, total variable cost for last month is

$\text{Total variable cost}=\$1000+\$200+\$300=\$1500$

Therefore, total variable cost for last month is $1500.

A movie theater has a seating capacity of 197. The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults.

yarga [219]

Answer: 74 children attended

86 students attended

37 adults attended

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that attended.

Let y represent the number of students that attended.

Let z represent the number of adults that attended.

The movie theater has a seating capacity of 197. It means that

x + y + z = 197- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults. If the total ticket sales was $ 1416, It means that

5x + 7y + 12z = 1416- - - - - - - - - - 2

There are half as many adults as there are children. It means that

It means that

z = x/2

x = 2z

Substituting x = 2z into equation 1 and equation 2, it becomes

2z + y + z = 197

y + 3z = 197- - - - - - - - - - - - -3

5 × 2z + 7y + 12z = 1416

10z + 7y + 12z = 1416

7y + 22z = 1416- - - - - - - - - - - 4

Multiplying equation 3 by 7 and equation 4 by 1, it becomes

7y + 21z = 1379

7y + 22z = 1416

Subtracting, it becomes

- z = - 37

z = 37

x = 2z = 2 × 37

x = 74

Substituting x = 74 and z = 37 into equation 1, it becomes

74 + y + 37 = 197

y = 197 - 74 - 37

y = 86

You plan to go skiing this weekend in Tennessee. The ski resort charges $18.50 per hour in addition to a $100 deposit to rent sk

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Part a) $y=18.50x+100$

Part b) The total cost is $\$220.25$

Part c) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write a linear equation to represent this situation

Define the variables

Let

x ----> the number of hours

y ----> the total cost in dollars

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope or the unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

In this problem we have that

The unit rate or slope is equal to

$m=\$18.50\ per\ hour$

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

$b=\$100$

substitute

$y=18.50x+100$

Part b) Use the equation to find the total cost to rent skis from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm

Remember that

3:00 pm=15:00

from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, the total hours is equal to

15:00 -8:30=6:30=6.5 h

For x=6.5 h

substitute in the linear equation and solve for y

$y=18.50(6.5)+100\\y=\$220.25$

Part c) What does your answer mean in context of the problem?

we have that

y=220.25

That means -----> The total cost to rent skis for 6.5 hours is equal to $220.25
