As a practical equation, this one doesn't make much sense -- why would the profit per person have a term proportional to the number of people? Let's just go with it.
That's the answer to the first part.
35/x represents a portion of the profit that's 35/x per person, or a constant $35 per tour.
First, let's find out how many 5/6 pound bags he can fill with on 2 pound bag.
2 divided by 5/6
2 x 6/5
2.4
He can fill 2.4 bags with one 2 bag.
Now we just need to multiply 2.4 by a number that will make it a whole number. You can use the guess and check method starting with 2 to figure your answer out, but 2.4 x 5 = 12 which is a whole number.
This means that Chad needs to buy 5 of the 2 pound bags to fill 12 of the 5/6 pound bags, and he will not have peanuts leftover
Answer:
He can drive 481 miles if David rents his car for three days
Step-by-step explanation:
This is true because if you take the 24.95 and multiply it by 3, because he rented it for three days, you'll get 74.85. Then you'll subtract 200 (the total money that can be spent) by 74.85 you'll get 125.15. Divide the remaining number, 125.15 by 0.26 to get 481.34. Take the decimals away because you don't need it, if you want to be sure it's correct you can multiply 481 by 0.26 to get 125.05 which is lower than 125.15 so it good because if you use 482 besides 481 it will be higher than the amount of money David can spend, that's why 481 is the right answer.
