let's label each pump A, B, and C, just for convenience. A fills the tank by 1/50 every minute, B fills the tank by 1/60 every minute, and C drains it by 1/75 every minute. Now we can put them all into one function: t(1/50 + 1/60 - 1/75) = 1, where t = our time in minutes and 1 = the tank being full.

next, we solve for t: t = 300/7 minutes, or approximately 42.86 minutes.

William and Debra Pierce are celebrating their 20th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have budge
erica [24]

The greatest number of people that William and Debra may invite and still stay within their budget is 63.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Since William and Debra have budgeted $2,500 for their reception. Therefore, their total expenses should be equal to the total expenses in the reception.

Budget = Total expenses

Budget = Reception hall Cleanup charge + $38 per person fee

Let the number of people invited to the party be represented by x,

$2,500 = $100 + $38(x)

2500 = 100 + 38x

2500 - 100 = 38x

2400 = 38x

x = 2400 / 38

x = 63.157 ≈ 63

Hence, the greatest number of people that William and Debra may invite and still stay within their budget is 63.
