Answer:

60 guests

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll say that the number of guests is n.

We're looking for the n where both of these expressions are equal:

Company A (500 set-up fee, 25 for each guest)

500 + 25 * n

Company B (200 set-up fee, 30 for each guest)

200 + 30 * n

500 + 25n = 200 + 30n

Subtract 200 from both sides.

300 + 25n = 30n

Subtract 25n from both sides.

300 = 5n

We'll reverse the sides.

5n = 300

Divide both sides by 5.

n = 300/5 = 60

Thus, both companies are equal when n is 60, or when there are 60 guests.

Answer:

A. Company A

     500 + (25) y

     Company B

     200 + (30) y

B.   Company b is less expensive. $200 for 20 guests, and $900 for 30 more guests. In total, You’ll have to pay $1,100 for Company b. Company a, on the other hand, for 20 guests thats $500. Adding $750 for having 30 more guests. In total for company a, that’s $1,250. Therefore, company b is the least expensive.

In the equation y = 39x + 50represents the number of people at a holiday dinner and y represents the total cost of
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of people = y = 39x+50

Total amount spent y = 518

Solution:

The equation for the number of people who attended the dinner

y = 39x+50

The cost of dinner is equally divided by number of people =

then, 518 = y

placing value, 518 = 39x+50

x = (518-50)/39

= 468/39

= 12

Then number of people attended the dinner = 12

To assess the precision of a laboratory scale, we measure a block known to have a mass of 1 gram. we measure the block n times a
vlada-n [284]
<span>n = 5 The formula for the confidence interval (CI) is CI = m ± z*d/sqrt(n) where CI = confidence interval m = mean z = z value in standard normal table for desired confidence n = number of samples Since we want a 95% confidence interval, we need to divide that in half to get 95/2 = 47.5 Looking up 0.475 in a standard normal table gives us a z value of 1.96 Since we want the margin of error to be ± 0.0001, we want the expression ± z*d/sqrt(n) to also be ± 0.0001. And to simplify things, we can omit the ± and use the formula 0.0001 = z*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the value z that we looked up, and get 0.0001 = 1.96*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the standard deviation that we were given and 0.0001 = 1.96*0.001/sqrt(n) 0.0001 = 0.00196/sqrt(n) Solve for n 0.0001*sqrt(n) = 0.00196 sqrt(n) = 19.6 n = 4.427188724 Since you can't have a fractional value for n, then n should be at least 5 for a 95% confidence interval that the measured mean is within 0.0001 grams of the correct mass.</span>

Solve 0.05p-0.02(5-2p)=0.05(p-2)-0.12
Montano1993 [528]
0.05p-0.02(5-2p)=0.05(p-2)-0.12 

0.05p-0.02(5-2p)=0.05(p-2)-0.12:p 

&#10;0.05p-0.1+0.04p=0.05p-0.1-0.12&#10; &#10;  |Expand \ the \ equation| 

0.09p-0.1=0.05p-0.1-0.12&#10; &#10; 

0.09p-0.1=0.05p-0.22 

&#10;0.09p-0.1-0.05p=-0.22&#10; &#10;&#10;  |Subtract \ 0.05p \ from \ both \ sides| 

&#10;0.04p-0.1=-0.22&#10; &#10; 

&#10;0.04p=-0.22+0.1&#10; &#10;  |Add \ 0.1 \ to \ both \ sides| 

&#10;0.04p=-0.12&#10; &#10; 

0.04p/0.04=-0.12/0.04&#10;  |Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 0.04| 

p=-3
