Answer:

   24 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday. Then the cost of care for the 41 animals is ...

  5b +7.5(41 -b) = 247.50

  -2.5b +307.50 = 247.50 . . . . . simplify

  -2.5b = -60 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 307.50

  b = 24 . . . . . . . . . divide by -2.5

The number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday was 24.

Item 18
nasty-shy [4]

The first thing we have to do is to calculate the midpoint of the min and max speeds. We are given that the min and max is 74 and 95 respectively. The midpoint is then calculated as (max+min) / 2. Therefore:

midpoint = (74 + 95) / 2 = 84.5

 

Next, we calculate the distance from the midpoint to the endpoint by doing subtraction. Therefore:

min endpoint: 84.5 – 74 = 10.5

max endpoint: 95 – 84.5 = 10.5

 

Now we know that v minus the midpoint will equal the distance such that:

| v - midpoint | = distance.

To our problem,

| v – 84.5 | = 10.5
