5 out of 20 like Star Wars so what value (x) should like Star Wars out of 200. Set up a proportion comparing the two.
x= # of people in 7th gr who like Star Wars
5/20= x/200
cross multiply
(5*200)= (20*x)
1000= 20x
divide both sides by 20
50= x
ANSWER: 50 people in the 7th grade should like Star Wars.
Hope this helps! :)
<span>let x = the original no. of students
then
(x+10) = the actual no. that went on the trip
:
= the original cost per student
and
= the actual cost
:
Original cost - actual cost = $12.50
- = 12.50
multiply equation by x(x+10)
x(x+10)* - x(x+10)* = 12.50x(x+10)
Cancel the denominators
1500(x+10) - 1500x = 12.5x(x+10)
1500x + 15000 - 1500x = 12.5x^2 + 125x
Combine on the right to form a quadratic equation
0 = 12.5x^2 + 125x - 15000
Simplify, divide equation by 12.5
x^2 + 10x - 1200 = 0
You can use the quadratic formula; a=1; b=10; c=-1200, but this will factor to
(x + 40(x - 30) = 0
The positive solution is what we want here
x = 30 students in the original group
Check this by finding the cost per student for each scenario
1500/30 = $50.00; original cost
1500/40 = $37.50; actual cost

saving: $12.50</span>
