Answer:
4:1 (I think)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's write some equations first:
For both prices increasing by 20:
then we can use cross multiplication
2x+40=5y+100
For both prices decreasing by 5:
same here:
5y-25=x-5
Using substitution for 5y, we get: 5y=x+20
2x+40=5y+100
2x+40=x+20+100
x=80
plugging this in to the second equation:
5y-25=x-5
5y-25=80-5
5y-25=75
5y=100
y=20
therefore we get x:y=80:20
4:1
12 more boys than girls
ratio of boys to girls = 7:5
thus 2/12 is difference between boys and girls = 12
total students = 12 ÷ 2/12 = 72
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Total fair of the two trips was $32.7
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>We are given that the expression that taxi fair is:</u>
2.85 + 2.7M where M represents the number of miles
<u>1- For Thursday:</u>
Number of miles covered = M = 6 miles
<u>Substitute with M=6 in the given equation to get the fair on Thursday as follows:</u>
Fair on Thursday = 2.85 + 2.7(6) = $19.05
<u>2- For Friday:</u>
Number of miles covered = M = 4 miles
<u>Substitute with M=4 in the given equation to get the fair on Friday as follows:</u>
Fair on Friday = 2.85 + 2.7(4) = $13.65
<u>3- The total fair:</u>
Total fair = fair on Thursday + fair on Friday
Total fair = 19.05 + 13.65 = $32.7
Hope this helps :)
