Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks. The volleyball team

and the wrestling team at Newberry High School are having a joint car wash today, and they are splitting the revenues. The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. After washing a certain number of cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total. What will that total be? How many cars will that take?

Answer: After washing 20 cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that each each teams will wash for them to raise the same amount in total.

The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. This means that the total amount raised by the volleyball team after washing x cars would be

4x + 24

The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. This means that the total amount raised by the wrestling team after washing x cars would be

x + 84

For both amounts to be equal, the number of cars would be

4x + 24 = x + 84

4x - x = 84 - 24

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

ms. James has a 6 square foot bulletin board and a 12 square food bulletin board. She wants to cover both boards with index card
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

<em>She need </em><em>72 </em><em>index cards.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. James has a 6 square foot bulletin board and a 12 square food bulletin board and she wants to cover both boards with index cards without gaps or overlaps.

Each index card has an area of \dfrac{1}{4} square foot.

Dividing the area of each board with the area of the index card will yield the the number of cards she needs to cover up completely.

Let us assume T₁ and T₂ are the number of cards she needs to cover 6 square feet food bulletin board and 12 square feet food bulletin board respectively. So

T_1=\dfrac{6}{\frac{1}{4}}=24,\\\\T_2=\dfrac{12}{\frac{1}{4}}=48

Therefore, in total she need 24+48=72 index cards.

An account earns simple interest. (a) Find the interest earned. (b) Find the
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

#a. $80

#b. $1680

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Amount invested (principal) is $1600
  • Rate of interest is 5%
  • Time = 1 year

We are required to determine the amount of simple interest earned and the amount or balance in the account after 1 year.

#a. Interest earned

To calculate simple interest we use the formula;

I = (PRT) ÷ 100

Where, P is the principal, R is the rate, T is the time and I is the simple interest.

Therefore;

I = (1600 × 5 × 1) ÷ 100

 = $80

Therefore, simple interest earned is $80

#b. Balance of the account (Amount accrued)

We are going to use the formula;

A = P + I , where A is the amount accrued, P is the principal and I is the simple interest earned.

Therefore;

Account balance = $1600 + $80

                            = $1680

Thus, the account balance after 1 year will be $1680

Dafna11 [192]

The inequality that represents the possible ways nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein is 2x + 3y ≥ 12

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more number and variables.

Let x be the number of cheese squares that she eats and y is the number of turkey slices that she eats. If nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein, hence:

2x + 3y ≥ 12

The inequality that represents the possible ways nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein is 2x + 3y ≥ 12
