Answer:
20 chairs
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given the amount total budget and the total amount for the desks then the only variable missing is the maximum amount of chairs. This can be solved with the following equation in which s represents the number of chairs, and we simply solve for s.
800 = 320 + 24s ... subtract both sides by 300
500 = 24s ... divide both sides by 24
20.83 = s
Now we see that the maximum number of chairs that the librarian can buy is 20 because 21 would make her go over the budget and you cannot have 0.83 of a chair.
B is the answer to this question
Answer:
4÷7=0.57142857
Step-by-step explanation:
nearest thousandths...

in decimals... we start in the tenths, hundredths then thousandths.
The way I would approach such a question is to put it into equations.
My first equation would be 16x+19y=478 which represents $16 on ski's per person and $19 on snowboards must add up to $478
My second would be x+y=28 because the number of skis and snowboards rented must add up to 28 so each person has one item.
Next you solve them simultaniously. Gonna use elimination
16x+19y=478 (1)
<span>x+y=28 (2) </span>
16x+16y=448 (3 = equation 2 * 16)
(1)-(3) => 3y=30 y = 10.
So now we know that 10 people rented snow boards. Just sub that into eq (2) and get x = 18. So 10 people got snow boards and 18 ski's.
To check, 10x19 = 190
16x18= 228
190+228=478 which works out perfectly!
