Answer:
Total cost of the trip = 243 + 72x
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of airfare = $243
Amount spent per day = $72
Which expression can he use to help him find the cost of the trip?
Let
x = number of days spent in Alaska
Total cost of the trip = Cost of airfare + (Amount spent per day * number of days spent in Alaska)
= 243 + (72 * x)
= 243 + 72x
Total cost of the trip = 243 + 72x
If he spent 4 days on the trip
Total cost of the trip = 243 + 72x
= 243 + 72(4)
= 243 + 288
= $531
The answer is actually choice A

If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of sandwiches sold: 73
The cost to make one sandwich: S
The profit the band earns from one sandwich: 0.2S
The amount of money that the band recieves for selling one sandwich:
S + 0.2S
The answer is C
10% = 0.10
12 x 0.10 = 1.20
12 - 1.20 = 10.80
<span>Without compound interest, Stan would earn only $8,800.00. This means that thanks to the power of compound interest Stan will earn an additional $1,191.83 in interest at the end of the 5-year-term.</span>
