Answer:
134 children and 120 adult plates were served
Step-by-step explanation:
let the children mean be x
Let the adult meal be y
If fourteen less children’s meals were served than adult meals at a barbecue, then;
y = x - 14 .... 1
IF Children plate were 1.50 each and adult plates were 2.00 each with a total of 441 in amount then;
1.5x + 2y = 441 .... 2
Substitute 1 into 2;
1.5x + 2(x-14) = 441
1.5x+2x-28 = 441
3.5x = 441+28
3.5x = 469
x = 469/3.5
x = 134
Recall that y = x - 14
y = 134-14
y = 120
Hence 134 children and 120 adult plates were served
Answer:
$ 71.5
Step-by-step explanation:
firstly kilometer to meters
<em>1 km = 1000 m </em>
therefore 3 km = 3000m
for the first 500 = $40
hence deduct the 500 from 3000m
3000 - 500 = 2500
now find out how many 300m go into 2500
2500 / 300 = 8.33
which is rounded up to 9
therefore the total amount is :
40 + 9 * 3.5
<u>= $71.5</u>
<u></u>
5x + 8y = 6p Subtract 5x from both sides
8y = 6p - 5x Divide both sides by 8
y =
p - <span>
x</span>
5.50(n) would be an expression to represent the amount he earns.
