Two airlines offer special group rates to your school’s Spanish Club for a trip to Mexico City. Mexican Air airline offers a rou

nd trip airfare of $250 per person. Fiesta airline offers a round trip airfare of $150 per person if the club agrees to pay a one-time group rate processing fee of $1,000.
a. Which airline offers the better deal if only nine students from the Spanish Club are able to fly to Mexico City? Explain your reasoning.
b. Find the number of students for which the total costs are the same. Explain how you determined the number of students.

Answer:

a. The Mexican Airline offers a better deal for 9 students to travel.  

b. 10 students

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The Mexican Air airline offers a round trip airfare of $250 per person.

So, for 9 students the fare will be total $(250 × 9) = $2250

Now, the Fiesta airline offers a round trip airfare of $150 per person if the club agrees to pay a one-time group rate processing fee of $1000.

So, for 9 students the total fare will be = $[1000 + (150 × 9)] =$2350.

Therefore, the Mexican Airline offers a better deal for 9 students to travel.  (Answer)

b. Let for x students both the airline offers the same total costs.

Then we can write  

250x = 1000 + 150x {From the conditions given}

⇒ 100x = 1000

⇒ x = 10

So, if the number of students is 10, then only both the airlines will take same fare. (Answer)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -7) and (-8, 3)?
avanturin [10]

Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

y = -\frac{5}{4} x-7  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line by using the slope formula, m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

m = \frac{(3)-(-7)}{(-8)-(0)}\\m = \frac{3+7}{-8-0} \\m = \frac{10}{-8} \\m = -\frac{5}{4}

So, the slope is -\frac{5}{4}.

2) Now, use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute real values for the m, x_1, and y_1 in the formula.

Since m represents the slope, substitute -\frac{5}{4} in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any one of the given points (either one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (0, -7), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the following answer:

y-(-7) = -\frac{5}{4} (x-(0))\\y + 7 = -\frac{5}{4} x\\y = -\frac{5}{4} x-7

3. Three soccer players are scored 25 goals this season.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The mean goals scored by the soccer players this season is 18.3 goals

<h3>What is mean? </h3>

Mean is the ratio of the sum of data to the total sample of data.

If three soccer players are scored 25 goals this season., five soccer players  scored 19 goals this season and ten soccer players scored 16 goals this season, the mean goal scored is expressed as:

Mean goal scored = 3(25)+5(19)+10(16)/3+5+10

Mean goal scored = 75 + 95+160/18

Mean goal scored = 330/18

  • Mean goal scored = 18.3 goals

Hence the mean goals scored by the soccer players this season is 18.3 goals
