James receives a pay increase of 100% per month and has a starting salary of $500.
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
Let b represent the rate of pay increase and a represent the initial pay.
Let us assume that he had received 128000 after the 8 months. hence:
128000 = ab⁸ (1)
Also in the 10th month, he had received 512000, hence:
512000 = ab¹⁰ (2)
From the both equations:
a = 500, b = 2
rate of increase = 200% - 100% = 100%
James receives a pay increase of 100% per month and has a starting salary of $500.

If 1 serving = 1/4 pound, then 4 servings = 1 pound. 6 pounds *4=24 servings. That leaves 1/3 of a pound. 1/4 pound is less than 1/3 pound, so you get one more serving.
That makes 25 servings, and 1/12 of a pound left over.
How do you know it is 1/12? Well, LCD (lowest common denominator) shows that 1/3-1/4= 4/12-3/12=1/12.
Let us formulate the independent equation that represents the problem. We let x be the cost for adult tickets and y be the cost for children tickets. All of the sales should equal to $20. Since each adult costs $4 and each child costs $2, the equation should be
4x + 2y = 20
There are two unknown but only one independent equation. We cannot solve an exact solution for this. One way to solve this is to state all the possibilities. Let's start by assigning values of x. The least value of x possible is 0. This is when no adults but only children bought the tickets.
When x=0,
4(0) + 2y = 20
y = 10
When x=1,
4(1) + 2y = 20
y = 8
When x=2,
4(2) + 2y = 20
y = 6
When x=3,
4(3) + 2y= 20
y = 4
When x = 4,
4(4) + 2y = 20
y = 2
When x = 5,
4(5) + 2y = 20
y = 0
When x = 6,
4(6) + 2y = 20
y = -2
A negative value for y is impossible. Therefore, the list of possible combination ends at x =5. To summarize, the combinations of adults and children tickets sold is tabulated below:
Number of adult tickets Number of children tickets
0 10
1 8
2 6
3 4
4 2
5 0

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can subtract the second equation from 4 times the first:
4(a +b) -(4a +1.5b) = 4(95) -(267.5)
2.5b = 112.5 . . . . . simplify
b = 45 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2.5
a = 95 -b = 50 . . . find 'a'
The solution is (a, b) = (50, 45).
