Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of children = y

Number of adults = x

Total people = 550

x + y = 550 ------------------ (I)

Charge for 'y' children =3.50 * y = 3.5y

Charge for 'x' adult = 9 * x = 9x

Total amount = $ 3575

9x  + 3.5y = 3575 -------------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by (-9)

(I)*(-9)  -9x - 9y = -4950  

(II)        <u> 9x  + 3.5y = 3575</u>  { Now add and so 'x' will be eliminated}

                  - 5.5y   =  -1375

y = -1375/-5.5

y = 250

Plug in y = 250 in equation (I)

x + 250 = 550

            x = 550 - 250

            x = 300

Number of children = 250

Number of adults = 300

Answer:

If x represents the no. of adults

and y represents the children, then

x + y = 550

9x + 3.50y = 3575

A General Motors buyer-incentive program offered a 5.5% rebate on the selling price of a new car. What rebate (in dollars) would
Mashcka [7]

Answer: he would receive a rebate of $1677.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A General Motors buyer-incentive program offered a 5.5% rebate on the selling price of a new car. This means that if the selling price of the new car is $x, the rebate (in dollars) that a customer would receive is

5.5/100 × x = 0.055 × x = 0.055x

Therefore, for a customer who purchased a $30,500 car under this program, the rebate that he would receive is

0.055 × 30500 = $1677.5

ANSWER:
Instead of greater than, the inequity symbol should be greater than or or equal to.

Step-by-step explanation:
We know the variable x represents the number of students. We also know there are 5 chaperones attending; this makes x+5 , by 2.50
It costs $2.50 per person; this means we multiply the number of people, x+5, by 2.50:

2.50(x+5)

The class has $90 to spend; this means they can spend up to and including $90. This gives us
90>2.50(x+5)

What is 9.33 as a fraction
kvv77 [185]
Well,

We can read 9.33 as 9 and 33 hundredths.

In fraction form that would be:
9  \frac{33}{100}

That is already simplest form.

If you meant 9. \overline{3}, then it would be:
9  \frac{1}{3}
