History

Answer:  a) It allowed each state to choose its delegates for the Senate, which established equal representation among the states.

Further details:

The Connecticut Compromise was a measure decided during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  Also known as "The Great Compromise," it resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.   It was important because it created a two-chamber legislature, with proportional representation in the House and equal representation for all states in the Senate.

The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. (This was the essence of the Virginia Plan.) The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  (This was the New Jersey Plan.)

The Great Compromise (aka Connecticut Compromise) created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature, with different rules for representation in each chamber. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

A rappelling club charters a bus for a trip to the mountains for $540. To lower the bus fare per person, the club invites some h
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

20 members of the rappelling club are going on the trip

Explanation:

Total cost of the trip is $540.

If only one person goes, the cost is $540.

We can make the total number of people going x since we are not given.

Therefore, each member would pay (540/x)

We can also rep 7 with non members since the number is given as 7

Total people going= Members + non members.

Therefore, the cost per person is now (540/x+7).

Problem.

540/x -540/x +7 = 7

Multiply each with lowest common denominator.

When you expand, you get

540(x+7) - x(540)/x(x+7) =7

Simplify multiplication.

540x+3780-540x=7(x^2+7x)

Combine like terms

540x-540x+3780=7x^2+49x

3780=7x^2+49x

7x^2+49x-3780= 0

When we divide through by 7, we have

x^2+7x-540

Factorize, we have

(x^2+27x)-(20x-540)=0

x(x+27)-20(x+27)=0

(x-20)(x+27)=0

x is therefore 20 or -27

Since we know -27 cannot be a reasonable answer hence must be excluded.

The exact number of the people going on the trip is 20.
