A waiting room is 2/3 full when 36 people are seated. How many people are in the waiting room when it is 1/2 full?

1 answer:

6 0

When 36 people are seated the room is 2/3 full.
So for 1/3 , 18 people are needed
It will be 3/3 full if 54 people are present

So there can be 54 people in total

Now for the room to be 1/2 full , people will be 1/2 x 54 = 27 people

Take Saturdays total of $620 and subtract Fridays total of $460 to get $160. Divide that by the difference of the number of pies sold on Friday and Saturday to get $8. Take the $8 and multiply by number of pies sold on Friday (20) to get $160. Take that number and subtract it from the total sold on Friday ($460) to get $300. Divide that by how many cakes were sold on Friday (30) and get $10.
So therefore:

Pies - $8 each
Cakes - $10 each
