Answer:10,486 contestants

Step-by-step explanation:

First day:

Total number of contestants at the beginning = 50,000

After first day, 20% 0f 50,000 are removed.

That is, (20/100)×50,000 = 10,000

Contestants remaining after first day = 50,000-10,000 = 40,000

Second day:

Contestants= 40,000

20% removed

That is (20/100)×40000=8000

Balance =40000-8000=32,000

Third day:

Contestants= 32000

20% removed

That is (20/100)×32000=6400

Balance =32000-6400=25,600

Fouth day:

Contestants= 25,600

20% removed

That is (20/100)×25,600=5,120

Balance =25,600-5,120=20,480

Fifth day:

Contestants= 20,480

20% removed

That is (20/100)×20,480=4096

Balance =20,480-4096=16,384

Sixth day:

Contestants= 16,384

20% removed

That is (20/100)×16,384=3276.8

Balance =16,384-3276.8=13,107.2

Seventh day:

Contestants= 13,107.2

20% removed

That is (20/100)×13,107.2=2621.44

Balance =13107.2-2621.44=10485.76

Therefore, number of contestants remaining after one week equals 10,486.

alisha [4.7K]

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

How do u solve 5x+3=4 <br> Y=-3x
kogti [31]
The information from the first equation gives you the information needed for the second. To solve the first equation you must rearrange the equation to isolate X. In order to do that you can first move the 3 to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides (5x + 3 - 3 = 4 - 3) and then simplify that to (5x = 4 - 3) and further to (5x = 1). Then to move the 5 you must divide both sides by 5 so you get (5x/5 = 1/5) which can be simplified to (x = 1/5)

From this you can use the X value and input it into the second equation
Y = -3(1/5) and then solve for Y.

Hope this helps!
