Answer:
750 < p < 1500
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost of the affair for p attendees is ...
750 +2.25p
The average cost is that number divided by p. The answer choices suggest that "between" means that the cost per person cannot be 2.75 or 3.25. Applying the limits to the average cost, we get ...
2.75 < (750 +2.25p)/p < 3.25
2.75 < 750/p + 2.25 < 3.25 . . . . . . . . separating the fraction parts
0.50 < 750/p < 1.00 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.25
2 > p/750 > 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the reciprocal*
1500 > p > 750 . . . . . . . . matches choice 4
_____
* Taking the reciprocals of numbers with the same sign reverses their order:
2 < 3 but 1/2 > 1/3
__
An alternate approach to the solution would be to multiply by p:
0.50p < 750 < 1.00p
To solve this requires it be made into two inequalities:
0.50p < 750 ⇒ p < 1500
and
750 < 1.00p ⇒ 750 < p
Then these would need to be recombined to form the answer:
750 < p < 1500
Answer:
0; 10; 20
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the independent variable
y is the dependent variable
y is dependent on x
a) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to −6
y=0.3x−6
-6 = 0.3x-6
0=0.3x
x = 0
Therefore, if the independent variable is 0, the value of the function will be -6.
b) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to −3
y=0.3x−6
-3 = 0.3x-6
0.3x = -3+6
0.3x = 3
x = 3/0.3
x = 10
Therefore, if the independent variable is 10, the value of the function will be -3.
c) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to 0.
y=0.3x−6
0=0.3x-6
6 = 0.3x
x = 6/0.3
x = 20
Therefore, if the independent variable is 20, the value of the function will be 0.
Question 1:
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of nickels
y: number of dimes
We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem.
We have then:
0.05x + 0.10y = 6.10
x + y = 67
Solving the system we have:
x = 12
y = 55
Answer:
there are 12 nickels
Question 2:
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: Allan's score
y: Dave's score
We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem.
We have then:
x + y = 375
x = 2y-60
Solving the system we have:
x = 230
y = 145
Answer:
Dave: 145 Allan: 230
