The positive number 2 is 28 numbers less than 30 in, and because you pointed out 30 is in inches I’m guessing 2 is in inches also.
234 = a + s s = students a = adults
2a = s
after you get the equations you solve. plug 2a into the above equation.
so u get
234 = a + 2a
234=3a then divide 3 from each side
78 = a
so 78 adult tickets were sold
Answer:
f(c) =17.12c -14.56c + 5.40(.5c) - 1.20(.5c)
Step-by-step explanation:
Profit is the difference between revenue (17.12c +5.40(.5c)) and cost(14.56c+1.20(0.5c)). That difference is expressed by the function shown above.
Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.
x=10,−1
Answer:
$2.72
Step-by-step explanation:
The increase from last week is the fraction ...
(new price)/(old price) -1 = (1.82/1.65) -1 = 17/165
so the amount of increase Sally will pay this week is ...
17/165×$26.40 = $2.72

<em>Comment on the working</em>
We could work this several ways. Perhaps most straightforward would be to determine how many gallons Sally bought last week, and multiply that by the change in price. Or, the number of gallons could be multiplied by the new price per gallon and the difference from the old purchase amount found.
If you look at the numbers, you see that we have effectively done it the first way. The change in price is $0.17 per gallon, and the number of gallons Sally bought is $26.40/$1.65.
