Tickets to the zoo cost $12 for adults and $8 for children. The school has a budget of $240 for the field trip. An equation repr
Oxana [17]

Answer:

18 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

240 = 12x +8y

<em>Required (missing part of the question):</em>

<em>Number of children that will be able to go to the zoo if 8 adult tickets are purchased</em>

 

<em>The graph is missing. However, the question can be solved without the graph.</em>

<em />

From the question and equation, we can deduce the following:

  • x represents adults
  • y represents children

So, when 8 adult tickets were sold.

This means

x = 8

Substitute 8 for x in 240 = 12x +8y

240= 12 * 8 + 8y

240= 96+ 8y

Subtract 96 from both sides

240 - 96 = 96 - 96 + 8y

144 =  8y

8y = 144

Solve for y

y= \frac{144}{8}

y= 18

<em>This means that 18 children will be able to go</em>

Janine babysits for $14.50 per hour. She also works as a dishwasher at her family's restaurant for $9.50 per hour. Her family ne
FrozenT [24]
The system of inequalities are
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) 14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
3) 8 hours babysitting, 7 hours dishwashing
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The amount per hour Janine makes from babysits = $14.50
The amount per hour Janine makes from dishwashing = $9.50
The minimum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 7 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 10 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can work each week = 7 hours
The minimum amount she wants to make each week = $140
Let x represent the number of hours Janine spends babysitting and let y represent the number of hours Janine spends dishwashing
1) From the question, we have;
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) Where
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
Making, y, the subject of the formula of the above inequalities and plotting as functions is given as follows;
y ≥ 140/9.5 - (14.5/9.5)·x
y ≤ 15 - x
3) In order to earn as much money as possible given that the amount Janine earns from babysitting is more than the amount she earns from dishwashing, Janine should spend the least amount of time dishwashing, which is 7 hours, as given, and then spend the remaining 8 hours babysitting to receive $14.5 × 8 + $9.5×7 = $182.5

A businessman buys 1,440 dozen pens at $2.50 a dozen and then sells them at a price of 25¢ apiece. what is his total profit on th
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Profit (P) is calculated by subtracting the total cost (C) from the total revenue (R). The calculations are shown below, 

       R = (1440 dozens) x (12 pieces / 1 dozen) x (25 cents/ piece) = $4320
                   C = (1440 dozens) x ($2.50 / dozen) = $3600
 
                          Profit = R - C = $4320 - $3600 = $720

Thus, the businessman's profit is $720.

nydimaria [60]
Well. If you get 29% of 5 cars that is 145%. This was a little confusing but I am defiantly sure it is correct. I like to use simpler numbers to see if I am doing the work right. So I said if he has a 50 % likely hood to find a car that was expired and had 1 car. It would be 50 percent. Now if he had 2nt got it the first time it would be a 100 % chance to find the car expired . Hope I didn’t co fuse you more
