a = 11(4b + c) Multiply/distribute 11 into (4b + c) [multiply 11 to 4b and c]
a = 44b + 11c Subtract 44b on both sides
a - 44b = 11c Divide 11 on both sides to get "c" by itself
You can simplify it to this(but Idk if you have to):
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4.5b + 8.5c = 175
b + c = 22.......b = 22 - c
4.5(22 - c) + 8.5c = 175
99 - 4.5c + 8.5c = 175
-4.5c + 8.5c = 175 - 99
4c = 76
c = 76/4
c = 19......there are 19 cats
b + c = 22
b + 19 = 22
b = 22 - 19
b = 3 <==== there are 3 birds
Therefore:
So, none of the choices are correct (5.5 is an approximation).
company A :
30,000 + 0.03(37499) = 31124.97...sales less then 37500
30,000 + 0.03(37501) = 31125.03....sales exceed 37500
30,000 + 0.03(249000) = 37470 ...sales less then 250000
30,000 + 0.03(251000) = 37530....sales exceed 250000
company B :
25,000 + 0.05(37499) = 26874.95...sales less then 37500
25,000 + 0.05(37501) = 26875.05...sales exceed 37500
25000 + 0.05(249000) = 37450...sales less then 250000
25,000 + 0.05(251000) = 37550...sales exceed 250000
so i believe your answer is option b,
company A pays better when sales are less then 250,000, but company B pays better when sales exceed 250,000 <==
