Answer:
200 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
First, set up the equations.
plan 1: initial fee of $55.96, $0.12 per mile
plan 2: initial fee of $63.96, $0.08 per mile
We want to know at what distance will the cost be the same. So, set the equations equal to each other.
0.12x + 55.96 = 0.08x + 63.96
Combine the variables.
0.04x + 55.96 = 63.96
Combine the constants.
0.04x = 8
Divide by 0.04 to isolate x.
x = 200 miles
Check by plugging x back into each equation.
y = 0.12(200) + 55.96
y = 24 + 55.96
y = $79.96
y = 0.08(200) + 63.96
y = 16 + 63.96
y = $79.96
You are correct!
Let x be the number of households with TV.
So .68x would be the number of households with cable.
If 8000 were added to the above number, it would be equal to 67,600,000.
Thus we have our equation:
.68x + 8000 = 67600000
Solving for x:
.68x = 67592000
x = 99,400,000
Answer:
each person will get 12 ounces of soup
Step-by-step explanation:
6 cans of 14 ounces- 6x14= 84
84 ounces divided among 7 friends- 84/7= 12
so each friend gets 12 ounces
