You do 0.25 x 50 = 12.5 take 12.5 away from 50 you get 37.5 so id say 38 is the answer
3 + 5x = 20 + 7x
First subtract 20 to both sides
-17 + 5x = 7x
Next subtract 5x to both sides (we are trying to get x all in one side)
-17 = 2x
Divide 2 to isolate the x
-17/2 = x or -8.5 = x
Connie will make $522.20 I believe
$35.00 x 10 = $350
$45.00 x 2 = $90
$20.55 x 4 = $82.20
350+90+82.20 = $522.20
Best choice for variables.....I would let students be " s " and parents be " p "
