Let x be the total number of person in the police force
24/100 × x = 72
x = 72/0.24
Therefore x = 300

The # of males = 300 - 72 = 228

<span>Let x be the total of people on the police force 24x=72 Divide both sides by 24 x=300 since there is 300 people on the force and 72 are ladies. We subtract 300-72= 228 So there is 228 male police officers :)

Answer:

The inequality is 55+10x\leq 105

The greatest length of time Jeremy can rent the jet ski is 5 and Jeremy can rent maximum of 135 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of first hour rent of jet ski is $55

          Cost of each additional 15 minutes of jet ski is $10

          Jeremy can spend no more than $105

Assuming the number of additional 15-minutes increment be "x"

Jeremy´s total spending would be first hour rental fees and additional charges for each 15-minutes of jet ski.

Lets put up an expression for total spending of Jeremy.

\$55+ \$ 10\times x

We also know that Jeremy can not spend more than $105

∴ Putting up the total spending of Jeremy in an inequality.

\$ 55+\$10x\leq \$ 105

Now solving the inequality to find the greatest number of time Jeremy can rent the jet ski,

⇒ \$ 55+\$10x\leq \$105

Subtracting both side by 55

⇒ \$ 10x\leq \$50

Dividing both side by 10

⇒x\leq \frac{50}{10}

∴ x\leq 5

Therefore, Jeremy can rent for 60\ minutes + 5\times 15\\= 60\ minutes + 75= 135\ minutes

Jeremy can rent maximum of 135 minutes.

Shane went bowling with his friends. The bowling alley charges $20 for an hour of group bowling plus a fee to rent each pair of
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

4x+20=31

Step-by-step explanation:

So one hour of bowling is 20 dollars and they bowled for one hour hence the 1x20 which is equal to 20. That is the base coast we add to the variable of x that is the cost of renting one pair of shoes. And since they rented 4 pairs of shoes you multiply x by 4 to get 4x. Add the 20 dollars they paid to bowl and it is 4x+20. They paid 31 dollars in total so equal the equation to 31. 4x+20=31. Solution is $2.75 per pair of shoes.
