Answer:

c. 130

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call B the quantity of voters who voted yes for both propositions.

From the question we know that twice as many voters voted "yes" for R as for S, that can be written as the following equation:

R+B=2(S+B)

Where R is the number who voted "yes" for R but "no2 for S and S is the number who voted "yes" for S but "no" for R.

Replacing R by 750 and S by 310 and solving for B, we get:

750+B=2(310+B)

750+B=620+2B

2B-B=750-620

B=130

So, 130 voters voted yes for both propositions

There were 27,000 people at a ball game in Los Angeles. The day's receipts were $204,000. How many people paid $13 for reserved
Studentka2010 [4]
21000 people paid for general admission and 6000 paid for reserved seats. This is solved by making 2 equations. Out of 27000 people who were at game, x of them paid for general admission and y for reserved seats, thus
x + y = 27000
As said, daily receipts were 204000$. As reserved seat is 13$, y of them gave 13$ each (y*13$) and x of them gave 6 for general admission(x*6) and those two add up and we get second equation
13y + 6x = 204000.
This can be solved by transforming first equation into x = 27000 - y and then replacing the x in second.
13y + 6*(27000 - y) = 204000
13y + 162000 - 6y = 204000
7y = 42000
y = 6000
x + 6000 = 27000
x = 27000 - 6000 = 21000

Gas costs $2.05 per gallon. You go on a trip of 150 miles and your car gets 25 miles per gallon. How much will you spend on gas?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer: 12.30 dollars will be spent

Step-by-step explanation: If you go on a trip of 150 miles and each mile is 25 miles per gallon, I divided 150 miles from 25 = 6. Then each gallon cost $2.05 dollars, if we want to know how much will they spend on gas you have to multiply how much per mile and how much it cost. So 2.05 times 6 = 12.30.
