You need to divide the amount by the number of days to find the price per day so
Jay paid $126 for 4 days
$126/4=$31.50 per day
and
<span>Stephanie paid $184.50 for 6 days
</span>$184.50/6=$30.75
So
The answer is
<span>C. </span><span>Stephanie paid the lower daily rate of $30.75. </span><span />
Answer:
Question 1: 71 and 72
Question 2: Child 1: 60 lbs, Child 2: 15 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
Consecutive numbers are 2 numbers right next to each other.
You know the numbers will have to be double digits number.
71 and 72 are consecutive numbers. The sum of them is 143.
71+72=143
Question 2:
For this problem, we can use system of equations to find the mass of the 2 children. Let's say x is the first child and y is the second child.
Equation 1
x+y=75
This equation comes from the combined mass of the 2 children.
Equation 2
x=4y
This equation comes from the first child being 4 times the mass of the second child.
Since we know the value of x, we can use substitution to find y.
4y+y=75
5y=75
y=15
Now that we know the second child is 15 lbs, we can plug this into any of the 2 equations to find the mass of the first child.
x=4(15)
x=60
No Maria is wrong because if you look at placement value you would see 4 is in the one hundred thousands place.
