Answer:

For 15,000 people, at least 1,250 rides are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality:

We have to multiply the maximum number of people per ride (12) by the number of rides (x).

That expression must be equal or higher than the number of people asked.(15000)

12 x ≥ 15000

Solving for x

x ≥ 15000/12

x ≥ 1,250

For 15,000 people, at least 1,250 rides are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A thrill ride at an amusement park holds a maximum of 12 people per ride.

To find :

a. An inequality that you can use to find the least number of rides needed for 15,000 people.

b. Then find the least number of rides needed for 15,000 people.

Solution :

Let x represent the number of rides.

a) A ride holds maximum of 12 people = 12x

To find an inequality of the least number of rides needed for 15,000 people.

The equation is 12x = 15000

b) Find the least number of rides needed for 15,000 people.

  Solve the equation,

12x = 15000

x = \frac{15000}{12}

x = 1250

If you pay for $25.00 for purchase which includes 11% sales tax. how much is the sales tax?
Delvig [45]
Since it includes 11% sales tax, this means that (purchase)+11% of (purchase)=25.00. Since 11% = 0.11 by multiplying it by 1/100, we have 1*purchase+0.11*purchase=1.11*purchase=25.00. Dividing both sides by 1.11, we get around 22.73 as the original purchase. This means that the difference between the purchase price and the total price is the sales tax, which is around 2.27 dollars.
