Answer:

a. x = 600

b. y = 60

c. x = 150 and y = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

0.25x + 2.50y = 150

Solving (a): The x intercept;

To do this; set y to 0

0.25x + 2.50y = 150

0.25x + 2.50 * 0 = 150

0.25x + 0 = 150

0.25x = 150

Solve for x

x = 150/0.25

x = 600

<em>This implies the amount spent on folders when no notebook was purchased</em>

Solving (b): The y intercept

To do this; set x to 0

0.25x + 2.50y = 150

0.25 * 0 + 2.50y = 150

0 + 2.50y = 150

2.50y = 150

Solve for y

y = 150/2.5

y = 60

<em>This implies the amount spent on notebooks when no folder was purchased</em>

Solving (c): Other values of x and y

This will be solved using trial by error method;

Set x = 150

Solve for y

0.25x + 2.50y = 150

0.25 * 150 + 2.50y = 150

37.5+ 2.50y = 150

Solve for 2.50y

2.50y = 150 - 37.5

2.50y = 112.5

Solve for y

y = 112.5/2.50

y = 45

Hence;

x = 150 and y = 45

<em>This implies that with the budget of $150, the teacher can afford to purchase 150 folders and 45 notebooks</em>

Answer:

The answer is 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

8/10 is the same thing as ⅘, ⅘ is just simplified

⅖ is less than ⅘ so it would come before c

6/5 is more than 1 so it wouldn’t be on that number line.

Two families went to Rollercoaster World.

Answer:

Children ticket cost $30 and adult ticket costs $40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

x = price of a child ticket

y = price of an adult ticket

According to given statement;

3x+2y=170     Eqn 1

4x+6y=360    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3

3(3x+2y=170)

9x+6y=510      Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(9x+6y)-(4x+6y)=510-360

9x+6y-4x-6y=150

5x=150

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{150}{5}\\x=30

Putting x=30 in Eqn 1

3(30)+2y=170

90+2y=170

2y = 170-90

2y = 80

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{80}{2}\\y=40

Hence,

Children ticket cost $30 and adult ticket costs $40.
