Mathematics

Pepsi [2]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Sally is 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Sally's age by x and Sam's by  y.

Then x = 3y and x + y = 84.

Substituting 3y for x in the second equation, we get:

3y + y = 84, or 4y = 84, or y = 21.  Since Sally is 3 times as old as Sam, we multiply 21 by 3:  Sally's age is 3(21 years) = 63 years

What you will want to do is replace x with the amount of customers so it would be 42 squared divided by 3025-55x42 which should hopefully give you your answer which is 2.339 but you may have to round it as you can’t have 1/3 of a person etc hope this helps, let me know if I’m wrong
