Answer:
(4) 750 < p < 1500
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost for p people is ...
c = 750 +2.25p
The average cost per person is this total divided by the number of people:
c/p = (750 +2.25p)/p
c/p = (750/p) +2.25
Natasha wants this to be between 2.75 and 3.25:
2.75 < c/2 < 3.25
2.75 < 750/p +2.25 < 3.25 . . . . . . use the expression for c/p
0.50 < 750/p < 1.00 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.25
We can split this to two inequalities to find the limits of p.
<u>Left one</u>
0.50 < 750/p
0.50p < 750 . . .multiply by p
p < 1500 . . . . . . multiply by 2
<u>Right one</u>
750/p < 1
750 < p . . . . . . multiply by p
These bounds on p can be summarized as ...
750 < p < 1500 . . . . matches choice (4)

<em>Additional comment</em>
Once you realize that the fixed costs will be divided by the number of people attending, the maximum cost you want ($1 more than the per-person charge) will set the minimum number of people. To have the $750 fixed cost contribute only $1 to the cost per person, there must be at least 750 people to share that cost. The only answer choice with a 750 person minimum is (4).
Answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
The function j(x)=39x is the number of jumping jacks you can do in x minutes how many can you do in 5 minutes'?
This is asking you to evaluate the function when x is 5...so all you do here is substitute 5 for x and simplify.. since the question defines "x" as the number of minutes...and j(x) represents the number of jumping jacks.
j(x) = 39x
j(5) = 39(5)
j(5) = 195 <--- answer...
So you do 195 jumping jacks in 5 minutes
I really hope this helps :)
