X=amount of money woman has
n=pounds of sugar 
Store #1: 8.5*n=x+30
Store #2: 8*n=x-25

multiply #2 by 17/16 to make coefficient of n same as in #1

2: 8.5*n=17/16(x-25)

Subtract #2 from #1

0=x+30-17/16(x-25)
x+30-17x/16 +25*17/16
x/16=30+25*17/16
x=480+425
=905 cents
=$9.05

Ms. Watts is a famous motivational speaker. She travels across the country by jet and gives an average of ten presentations a we
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the auditorium holds an average of 1000 people each.

And that she charges $40 each.

Thus;

Total income for each speech is;

1000 × 40 = $40000

Since she gives an average of 10 presentations each week.

Total income per week = 10 × 40000 = $400,000

Now,the expenses she makes for each speech weekly is;

Renting auditorium = $15000

Motel, jet expenses, support personnel = $75000

Thus,

Total expenses per week = 15000 + 75000 = $90000

Now, total profit per week is;

P_weekly = Total income per week - Total expenses per week

P_weekly = $400000 - $90000

P_weekly = $310000

There are 52 weeks in a year, thus, profit in a year is;

P_yearly = 52 × 310000 = $16120000

Now, we want to find out how long it took her to make $1,400,000 a year.

We know that;

$16120000 was achieved in 52 weeks

Thus;$1,400,000 will be achieved in;

(1400000 × 52)/16120000 = 4.52 weeks approximately 5 weeks.
