Answer:
57
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of children ($1.75 each) and a represent the number of adults ( $2.00 each).
We know that there were 340 people total, so c + a = 340. This implies that a = 340 - c
We also know that $1.75 c + $2.00 a = $609.25
By substituting a with 340 -c we have $1.75 c + $2.00 (340 -c) = $609.25
Use the distributive property to obtain $1.75 c + $680 - $2.00 c = $609.25
Subtract $680 from both sides and combine like terms to get - $0.25 c = -
$70.75
Now, divide both sides by -$0.25 to get c = 283, the number of children.
The number of adults is 340 - c or 340 - 283 = 57
Answer:
Brand A is the better buy
Step-by-step explanation:
bag Which is the better buy?
Step one
Brand A: $5 for 80 pounds of sand
Let us find the unit cost
Unit cost =5/80
=$0.0625 per pound
Brand B: $14 for 175 pound
The unit cost is
=14/175
=$0.08 per pound
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Factorial is applicable only for natural numbers and 0.
0! =1 trivially.
FOr other numbers, factorial is defined as 1x2x...n
For example 1! = 1
2! = 1x2 = 2
and so on.
i.e. n! = product of all natural numbers from 1 to n
= 1x2x....n
Using the above
we have n =4
Natural numbers from 1 to 4 are 1,2,3,4
Find the product of these 4 natural numbers to get 4!
4! = 1x2x3x4 = 24
So if you solve for n
4n^2+3=7n
make into trinomial
subtract 7n from both sides
4n^2-7n+3=0
if we can factor this, then we can asume that the factors are equal to zero becase if
xy=0 then assume x and/or y=0 so
to factor an equation in ax^2+bx+c where a is greater than 1 then
b=t+z
a times c=t times z
to factor 4n^2-7n+3 you do
4 times 3=12
what 2 numbers multiply to get 12 and add to get -7
the numbers are -3 and -4 so
split up the -7
4n^2-4n-3n+3
group
(4n^2-4n)+(-3n+3)
undistribute
(4n)(n-1)+(-3)(n-1)
reverse distributive property
ab+ac=a(b+c)
(4n-3)(n-1)=0
set each to zero
4n-3=0
add 3 to both sides
4n=3
divide both sides by 4
n=3/4
n-1=0
add 1 to both sides
n=1
n=3/4 or 1
1 2
------- = --------
4a 3
cross multiply
2(4a) = 1 * 3
8a = 3
a = 3/8 or a = 3 over 8
answer
<span>3 over 8</span>
