The table below shows the ticket rates for whale watching trips offered by Ocean Tours: Age Ticket Price Under 3 years free 3 to

12 years $36 Over 12 years $48 On a certain day, the company took 92 people on whale watching trips. There were 40 children aged 12 and under, of which some children were under 3 years. If x represents the number of children under 3 years, which equation can be used to find the value of x, where C represents the total amount of money collected from tickets that day?

If there are 40 children aged twelve and under and x of them are under three years old, 40 - x aged three twelve years old. From the 92 people that where taken by the company on whale watching trips, 52 are over twelve years old. The equation that best show the total cost, C is
                                (40 - x)(36) + (52)(48) = C
Rearranging the equation gives,
                                       x = 40 - ((C - 2496)/ 36)

With a certain tail wind a jet aircraft arrives at its destination, 1,890 miles away, in 3 hours. Flying against the same wind,
Gelneren [198K]
<span>Find the wind speed and the plane's airspeed.
:
Let s = speed of the plane in still air
Let w = speed of the wind
then
(s-w) = plane speed against the wind
and
(s+w) = plane speed with the wind
:
Change 3 3/8 hrs to 3.375 hrs
:
The trips there and back are equal distance, (1890 mi) write two distance equations
dist = time * speed
:
3.375(s-w) = 1890
3.0(s + w) = 1890

:
It is convenient that we can simplify both these equations:
divide the 1st by 3.375
divide the 2nd by 3
resulting in two simple equations that can be used for elimination of w
s - w = 560
s + w = 630
----------------adding eliminates w, find s
2s = 1190
s = 
s = 595 mph is the plane speed in still air
Find w
595 + w = 630
w = 630 - 595
w = 35 mph is the wind spee</span>

If tim spends 1/3 each weekday sleeping and about 7/24 each weekday in school what fraction of a weekday does Tim spend either s
Ganezh [65]
Tim spends 1/3 each weekday sleeping and 7/24 in school. We can write 1/3 as 8/24 so we have a common denominator. Now we can see that Tim sleeps for 1/24 time of a weekday more then he spends in school.

I hope that's what you meant.
