A mile is 5,280 times greater than a foot.
Let x be the number of pens in a box.
Jill : three full boxes of pen and 2 loose pens. 3x + 2
Ben: two full boxes of pen and 14 loose pens. 2x + 14
Jill and Ben have the same pens.
Jill = Ben
3x+2 = 2x + 14
3x - 2x = 14 - 2
1x = 12
x = 12
To check:
Jill = Ben
3x + 2 = 2(x) + 14
3(12) + 2 = 2(12) + 14
36 + 2 = 24 + 14
38 = 38
There are 12 pens or a dozen of pens in a full box.
Let the price of a ticket be originally T dollars, and the number of clients be N.
let the price decrease by x 3-dollars.
"there is an average increase of 4 people for every $3 decrease on the price of the ticket."
means:
if the price is decreased by 1-3$:
then N become N+4, and T becomes T-3
if the price is decreased by 2-3$:
then N become N+4+4=N+2*4, and T becomes T-3-3=T-2*3
So if the price is decrease by x-3 dollars:
N becomes N+4x, and T becomes T-3x
"A circus owner sells an average of 340 tickets when the price of a ticket is $75."
In this case N=340, and T=75$
If the owner does not change the price ticket, x=0, the revenue is 340*75,
If the owner decreases the price of the tickets by x-3$, then the revenue will be
(N+4x)(T-3x)=(340+4x)(75-3x) dollars,
If R is the function of the revenue depending on x, then
R(x)=(340+4x)(75-3x) dollars
Answer: R(x)=(340+4x)(75-3x) dollars
A: 38.4 - 25 = 13.4
13.4 + 32.65 = $46.05
B: 50.15 - 32.65 = 17.5
17.5 + 25 = 42.5 mph
