Answer:

The nomber of people can attend a dinner that costs $131. 50 is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, it can be said that the total cost of a dinner would be equal to the initial fee plus the result of multiplying the price per person for the number of people, which can be expressed as:

c=16+8.25x, where:

c is the total cost of he dinner

x is the number of people

Now, you can replace c with 131.50 that is the cost of a dinner and solve for x to find the number of people that can attend:

131.50=16+8.25x

131.50-16=8.25x

115.50=8.25x

x=115.50/8.25

x=14

According to this, the answer is that the nomber of people can attend a dinner that costs $131.50 is 14.

Mr. Rogers has $4.62. He has 3 times as many dimes as nickels and 6 more pennies than dimes. How many coins of each kind does he
Marysya12 [62]
Let’s make x = # of nickels. Then 3x = # of dimes and 3x+6 = # of pennies. A nickel is 5 cents, a dime is 10 cents and a penny is 1 cent.

The money she has should be .05(x) + .10(3x) + .01(3x+6) = 4.62 or to make it simpler: 5(x) + 10(3x) + 1(3x+6) = 462.

5x + 30x + 3x + 6 = 462

38x + 6 = 462

38x = 456

x = 12.

So she has 12 nickels (12 * $0.05 = $0.60), 36 dimes (36 * $0.10 = $3.60) and 42 pennies (42 * $0.01 = $0.42). $3.60 + $0.60 + $0.42 = $4.62.

A circle has a diameter of 12 inches. What is its area in terms of π?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

36π

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you have to use terms of pi you just leave out pi out of the formula

A = πr² so it would be

A = r²       Radius is half of diameter so half of 12 = 6

A = 6²

A = 36

Than you add pi

36π
