Answer:

84 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

use x to represent the amount of money Laura had when she started shopping.

use y to represent the amount of money she had left after buying a pair of shorts.

You can create these two equations:

3/4x=y

2/3x=42

now, subsitute the value of y into the second equation.

2/3(3/4x)=42

1/2x=42

x=84

Explain what the equation 110d = 100d + 40 represents<br>in the context of the example problem.​
Tanya [424]

<em>This means that at some specific number of days the cost for Oceanview and  Beachside will be the same.</em>

<h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2>

See the complete question in the attached file. In this exercise, we know that Oceanview charges $100 per day plus a one-time fee of $40. This can be represented by the following equation:

Total cost for Oceanview:

c=100d+40

Total cost for Beachside:

c=110d

Where:

c:Represents \ the \ cost \\ \\ d:Represents \ the \ number \ of \ day

So we have to explain what the equation:

110d=100d+40

represents in the context of the problem. We have used substitution in order to get that equation, so <em>this means that at some specific number of days the cost for Oceanview and  Beachside will be the same.</em>

This value was calculated and we get that<em> the cost at the hotels will be the same after 4 days and it will be $440.</em>

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The method applied in this scenario is called simple random sampling. A sample of 100 customers is chosen from a larger population of customers and each customer has the same chance of being selected for the survey at any given time. Also, the chance of selecting 100 customers from each store is the same during the sampling process. The order of sampling at each store does not follow a certain order, thus, It is different from systematic random sampling.
