A local bookstore tracked the type of payments people make at their store. Out of 100 people, 40 paid with cash, 55 paid with a

credit card and 5 used a gift card. Based on this information, what is a reasonable prediction of the number of people paying with cash if they had 600 customers?

Answer:

Cash = 240, Credit = 330, Gift = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from this the precentage  of people using different payment methods

Cash = 40/100 = 40%

Credit card = 55/100 = 55%

Gift card = 5%

We can then find the number of people using each method regardless of total amount of people

Cash = 40% * 600 = 240

Credit = 55% * 600 = 330

Gift card = 5% * 600 = 30

Total = 240 + 30 + 330= 600

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion.  Out of 100 people, 40 people paid with cash.  Out of 600 people,  x people paid with cash.

\frac{40}{100} =\frac{x}{600}

Cross multiply and solve for x.

24000 = 100x\\24000/100=100x/100\\240 =x\\x=240

240 customers paid with cash.

Domain and range of (4,-4),(2,-3),(-5,1),(4,-1)
aniked [119]

(x; y)


The domain is x.

The range is y.


Therefore

(4; -4) → x = 4; y = -4

(2;-3) → x = 2; y = -3

(-5; 1) → x = -5; y = 1

if is (-4; -1) not (4; -1) then

(-4; -1) → x = -4; y = -1


The DOMAIN = {-5; -4; 2; 4}

The RANGE = {-4; -3; -1; 1}


If is (4; -4) and (4; -1) then it is not a function.

Can you explain how to do 13 please

I must confess that I was about to pass this question by, but I was captured by the respectful and dignified way in which you asked for help. 

A careful reading of the problem gives you two equations in two unknowns, which you can then solve as simultaneous equations.  Here's how it looks:

Call 'C' the price of the senior <u>C</u>itizen ticket.
Call 'S' the price of the <u>S</u>tudent ticket.

On the first night . . .    10 C  +  12 S  =  208

On the second night . . .  8C  +  3 S  =  74

Those are your two simultaneous equations. Now the idea is to multiply or divide each side of one equation in such a way that when you add or subtract it from the other equation, one of the variables will become a zero quantity ...  you'll be left with an equation in one variable, which you can easily solve. THEN, knowing the value of one variable, you can put it back into one of the original equations,and find the value of the other variable.

This all sounds more complicated than it is.   Here's how it goes:
We have . . .

10 C  +  12 S  =  208  and
8C  +  3 S  =  74

I'm going to multiply each side of the second equation by  4, and then write it under the first one:

10 C  +  12 S  =  208
32 C  +  12 S  =  296

Now, subtract the lower equation from the upper one, and you get . . .

- 22 C  +  0  =   - 88

Divide each side of this one by  -22  and you have    <em>C = $4.00</em> .

THAT's what you need, to blow the whole problem wide open.  Knowing
the value of 'C', let's substitute it into the equation for the first night:

10 C  +  12 S  =  208

10(4)  +  12 S  =  208

40  +  12 S  =  208

Subtract  40  from each side :    12 S  =  168

Divide each side by  12 :    <em>S  =</em><em>  $ 14.00 </em>.

Finally, as we look over our results, and see that Students have to pay  $14  to see the show but Seniors can get in for only  $4 , we reflect on this ... or at least I do ... and realize that getting old is not necessarily all bad.

there 240 students in the middle school band. The band director is dividing the students into groups of 10. Into how many groups
defon

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 group = 10 students

x group = 240 students.

1/x = 10/240              Cross multiply

10x = 240                  Divide by 10

10x/10=240/10          Do the division

x = 24
