Answer: 3 people ordered soup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of people ordered salad and y  be the number of people ordered soup.

As per given,

x=2y           (i)

7.50x+6.25y= 63.75          (ii)

Substitute value of c =2y in (ii) , we get

7.50(2y)+6.25y= 63.75

⇒ 15y+6.25y =  63.75

⇒21.25y =  63.75

⇒ y= 3   [divide both sides by 21.25]

Then, x= 2(3) =6

So 6 people ordered salad and 3 people ordered soup.

The sixth grade runs a bake sale for 55 hours and makes $170.
So in one hour, they made 170/55 = 3.09 dollars.
Rate: $3.09/h

The seventh grade sets up a dunking booth for 44 hours and makes $112.
So in one hour, they made 112/44 = 2.54 dollars.
Rate: $2.54/h

The eight grade has a car wash and makes $192 in 66 hours.
So in one hour, they made 192/66 = 2.90 dollars.
Rate $2.90/h

3.09 > 2.90 > 2.54
So R(6th) > R(8th) > R(7th)

Which means that the sixth grade has the highest rate for raising money.

Hope this helps! :)

What is the slope of the line and y intercept
valkas [14]
Answer is a

You need to find the y-intercept (aka b). You can do that by simply looking where the graph intercepts with the Y-axis.
b= 1 (positive 1 and not negative)

Now we need to find the slope by the following

Slope aka m: (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
Note: sometimes people say it’s rise/run which is the same thing as the previous formula.

Pick two points that fall on the graph. I chose (0,1) and (3,-4). Even though there are no numbers you can assume each square is a unit and count the squares.

Slope = (-4-1)/(3-0) = - 5/3
