Answer:

14 boys paid for the full year fee and 4 boys paid for the partial year fee

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations, where x is the number that paid for the $24 fee and y is the number that paid for the $16 fee:

24x + 16y = 400

x = y + 10

Solve by substitution by plugging in y + 10 as x:

24x + 16y = 400

24(y + 10) + 16y = 400

Solve for y:

24y + 240 + 16y = 400

40y + 240 = 400

40y = 160

y = 4

Then, plug in 4 as y to find x:

x = y + 10

x = 4 + 10

x = 14

So, 14 boys paid for the full year fee and 4 boys paid for the partial year fee.

If Happie had ridden exactly 100 feet in 25
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The speed rate is 100 feet per 25 seconds, or 20 feet every 5 seconds, (100 / 5 = 20)

Every minute is 60 seconds long, this means that to find out how fast she would roll in one minute we just need to do 60 / 5 = 12 and then do 12 x 20

12 x 20

10 x 20 = 200 feet per second

2 x 20 = 40 feet per second

200 + 40 = 240 feet per second

Happie would roll 240 feet in a minute at the speed of 100 feet per 25 seconds

Hope this helps!
