Answer:
36 riders in 16 minutes, 54 riders in 24 minutes, and 72 riders in 32 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The roller coaster can accommodate 9 riders every 4 minutes. 36 riders in 16 minutes, 54 riders in 24 minutes, and 72 riders in 32 minutes all follow the common ratio.
For this problem you have yo set up two equations.
White shirts = w Yellow shirts = y
1st: w + y = 21
2nd: 9.95w + 11.50y = 235.30
Now we're going to do system of equations using substitution.
If w + y = 21, then y = 21 - w
If y = 21 - w, then you can substitute this in the second equation for y.
9.95w + 11.50(21 - w) = 235.30
9.95w + 241.5 - 11.50w = 235.30
-1.55w + 241.5 = 235.30
-1.55w = -6.2
w = 4, so 4 whites shirt were sold.
Now I'm finding out how many yellow shirts were sold using one of the two equations at the top.
w + y = 21
4 + y = 21
y = 17
So 17 yellow shirts were sold and 4 white shirts were sold.
Let
x be the distance that the truck has left to travel
t be the the time
The total distance is 1675 miles
The average speed is 55 miles per hour
The equation that represents the distance that the truck has left to travel with respect to time is
55t + x =1675
x = -55t + 1675
Answer: 60% increase followed by a 40% decrease belongs in less than original. A 50% increase followed by a 33 1/3 decrease also belong in less than original. A $20 decrease followed by a $20 increase belongs in same as original. A 75% decrease followed by a 50% increase belongs in less than original. A 100% increase followed by a 33 1/3 decrease belongs in less than original.
