Video streaming company A charges a one-time $40 membership fee and $2 per video stream. Video streaming company B charges a one

-time $20 membership fee and $4 per video stream.
Let the variable s represent the amount of videos streamed and let the variable c represent the cost.

For how many video streams will the cost be the same for both companies?

Which system of equations can be used to solve this problem?



{c=40s+2
c=20s+4

{c=40+2s
c=20+4s

{c=42s
c=24s

{c=40−2s
c=20−4s

Let's begin ! ^_^

You have got informations in your problem that you just have to translate in a "mathematic language".

Company A :
"$40 membership fee and $2 per video stream."

Thanks to that, you can guess :
c = 40 + 2s

Now let's do the same thing to the company B.

Company B :
"charges a one-time $20 membership fee and $4 per video stream."

Therefore, c = 20 + 4s.

I think you have guessed !! =D And yes the system of equation that you have to solve and you're looking for is :

{c=40+2s ( Option B)
c=20+4s.

Second step : For how many video streams will the cost be the same for both companies?

We just have to solve the system :) And there is only one variable, the letter "s".

We know that we have to find equal costs as it is said in the question " the cost be the same for both companies", so :

=> 40 + 2s = 20 +4s
=> 4s - 2s = 40 - 20
=> 2s = 20
=> s = 20/2
=> s = 10

Verification :

Company A :
=> 40 + 2s = 40 + 2*10 = 40 + 20 =60.

Company B :

=> 20 + 4s = 20 + 4*10 = 20 + 40 = 60

As you have seen, the costs are the same for both companies.

We can say that as a conclusion for 10 video streams, the cost will be the same for both companies.

In short, the answer would be : 10.

Let me give you an advice : Usually the word "per" means a multiplication is the mathematic language.

Hope this helps !

There are 45 students who play a woodwind instrument in the school band. Of these, 18 play the saxophone. What percent of these
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

40% students play the saxophone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Number of students who play woodwind instrument = 45

Number of students who play saxophone = 18

We need to find the percent of students who play saxophone.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

To find the percent of students who play saxophone we will divide Number of students who play saxophone by Total Number of students who play woodwind instrument and the multiply by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

percent of students who play saxophone = \frac{18}{45}\times100= 40\%

Hence 40% students play the saxophone.
