To figure this out, we need to use fractional proportions.
Currently, we have $120, the amount earned, and 2 days, the current rate.
Our fraction for this is: 120 / 2 = x / 6, x being the amount earned in 6 days.
Let's use a little technique to help us answer faster.
With our current money earned, 120, and our current days, 2, we can divide 120 by 2 to find out how many we earned in 1 day.
120 / 2 = 60.
We earned $60 per day.
With this formula, 60d, d being the amount of days, we can solve quicker.
We are solving for 6 days, so multiply $60 by 6 days.
60 x 6 = 360
Your proportion is :
120/2 : 360/6
I hope this helps!
Answer:
57
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of children ($1.75 each) and a represent the number of adults ( $2.00 each).
We know that there were 340 people total, so c + a = 340. This implies that a = 340 - c
We also know that $1.75 c + $2.00 a = $609.25
By substituting a with 340 -c we have $1.75 c + $2.00 (340 -c) = $609.25
Use the distributive property to obtain $1.75 c + $680 - $2.00 c = $609.25
Subtract $680 from both sides and combine like terms to get - $0.25 c = -
$70.75
Now, divide both sides by -$0.25 to get c = 283, the number of children.
The number of adults is 340 - c or 340 - 283 = 57
-3x-2-6x=-4-<em>(-4x)</em>+12
-9x-2=-16x+12
7x=14
x=2.

Answer:
The price of the cell phone without the coupon= $500
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Express discounted amount
The discounted amount can be expressed as a function of the original cost of the phone as follows;
D=r×A
where;
D=discounted amount
r=coupon rate
A=original price of the cell phone before the coupon
In our case;
r=45%=45/100=0.45
A=a
replacing;
Discounted amount=(0.45×a)=0.45 a
Step 2: Amount she pays up
Amount she pays=Original cost of cell phone-discounted amount
where;
Amount she pays= $275
original cost of cell phone=a
discounted amount=0.45 a
replacing;
$275=a-0.45 a
0.55 a=275
a=275/0.55
a=500
The price of the cell phone without the coupon= $500
