Step-by-step explanation:
such an equation is a simple linear function :
y = ax + b
b is in this case the flat fee, and a (the slope) drives the incline of the function for various numbers of students x.
our job is now to find the correct a and b values.
we do this by using the informative we have and create 2 equations for a and b, and then we solve this system.
132.5 = a×25 + b
145 = a×30 + b
now, we can use a little trick and simply subtract the whole first equation from the second equation.
145 = a×30 + b
- 132.5 = a×25 + b
------------------------------
12.5 = a×5 + 0
5a = 12.5
a = 2.5
with this we go into one of the original equations, e.g. the second one :
145 = 2.5×30 + b = 75 + b
70 = b
so, it full equation is
y = 2.5x + 70
the costs for 85 students are
y = 2.5×85 + 70 = 212.5 + 70 = $282.50
Answer:
t=2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to find out what t is.
If 4t = 9, the how much is t?
First step is to divide 9 by 4.
When you divide 9 by 4, you find out how much t is.
When you divide 9 by 4, you get 2.25, or 2 1/4
The answer is 1.53x10^10 dollars.
You get this answer by multiplying the total amount of goods in tons (900,000) by the average value of the goods ($17,000 per ton) to get your answer of 1.53x10^10 dollars.
