Answer:
A) 360 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
c=quantity of child
a=quantity of adult
9c+12.5a=5220
a+c=440 then c=440-a
substitute for c
9(440-a)+12.5a=5220
3960-9a+12.5a=5220
reduce
3.5a=1260
a=360
First find out how much he makes in 8 hours (9x8=72). Then subtract 72 from 155 (155-72=83). Then divide 83 by 6 (83/6=13.8333). Since 83 is not evenly divisible by 6, and since he can't deliver .8333 of a delivery, we would round up, giving us 14). Ben would need to make 14 deliveries in 8 hours to make more than $155 :) Hope this helps you :)
The relation between a and s is given to be:
a = 640s
where,
a = number of acres
s = number of square miles
We are to find the number of acres for 7.5 square miles.
This means, s = 7.5
Using the value in the formula, we get:
a = 640 x 7.5 = 4800 acres
So the answer to this question is option B
