A bus company has contracted with a local high school to carry 450 students on a field trip. The company has 18 large buses whic

h can carry up to 30 students and 19 small buses which can carry up to 15 students. There are only 20 drivers available on the day of the field trip.

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the big buses and y represent small buses. The large buses can carry 30 students and the small buses can carry 15 students. The total number of students are 450, this can be represented by the inequality:

30x + 15y ≤ 450

They are only 20 drivers, therefore only 20 buses can be used. It is represented by:

x + y ≤ 20

They  are only 19 small buses and 18 large buses:

x ≤ 18

y ≤ 19

After plotting the graph, the minimum solution to the graph are at:

A (15,0), B(18,0), C(10, 10), D(18, 2).

The cost function is given as:

The total cost of operating one large bus is $225 a day, and the total cost of operating one small bus is $100 per day.

​

F(x, y) = 225x + 100y

At point A:

F(x, y) = 225(15) + 100(0) = $3375

At point B:

F(x, y) = 225(18) + 100(0) = $4050

At point C:

F(x, y) = 225(10) + 100(10) = $3250

At point D:

F(x, y) = 225(18) + 100(2) = $4250

The minimum cost is at point C(10, 10) which is $3250

“Ms. Blanco drove her car at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour for 1 1/2 hours, then at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour for 2
lara31 [8.8K]
I’m pretty sure it’s 370 bc
1 and a half hours is 80+40 (40 is half of 80)
and 2 and a half hours, so 100 for each hour.
100+100+50= 250

250+120=370!!

answer : 370 kilometers per hour

I need help please! How do i know which is the correct answer.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

since there cant be technically half of someone (i hope not) the domain has to be "whole numbers". hours can be split, so they are "all numbers". well, looking at it again, it is C, since the others can not possibly be correct.
