Answer:
8763
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of students the college had last year. Then this year's enrollment is ...
... x - 3%·x = 8500
... x(1 - 0.03) = 8500 . . . . . collect terms
... x = 8500/0.97 ≈ 8762.89 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Enrollment last year was about 8763.
_____
Of course, you know 3% = 3/100 = 0.03.
All we need to do to find the correct answer is to double the prize for a night. I'll "cut" it into pieces so you can see exactly how I calculated it:
$91.35 * 2 =
= $90.00 * 2 + $1.00 * 2 + $0.35 * 2 =
= $180.00 + $2.00 + $0.70 =
= <u>$182.70</u>
Answer: They will pay $182.70 for two nights at the hotel.
Answer: Each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= Cost per T-shirt, y = Cost per Hat.
As per given,
3x+3y=11.25 (i)
4x+2y=10 (ii)
Multiply 4 to equation (i)
12x+12y=45 (iii)
12x+6y= 30 (iv)
Eliminate (iv) from (iii), we get
6y= 15
⇒ y = 2.5
Put value of y in (i)
3x+3(2.5)=11.25
⇒3x+7.5=11.25
⇒3x= 3.75
⇒x= 1.25
Hence, each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.
