Given:
Last year 80 students signed up for a summer trip to Washington, D.C.
This summer 50 students have signed up to go.
To find:
The percent decrease in the number of students.
Solution:
We have,
Students in last year = 80
Students in this year = 50
Now,
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 5 cups of cornmeal=2 cups of water. Using 115 cups of cormeal would mean you need 287.5 cups of water, not 3.
3 is too little
2: If you use 5 cups of water for every 3 cups of cornmeal, for 3 cups of cornmeal you'd need like 6.5 cups of water, not that high of a number.
Remove unnecessary parenthesis.
-5k 3 - 6k +1 - 6k 2 + 5k (simplify each term) -15k - 6k + 1 - 12k +5k = -28k +1
Answer: 28k + 1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
step a system of two equations c = child ticket a = adult ticket
eq 1) 2c + 1a = 8.2 multiply by 2
eq 2) 3c + 2a = 14.1
I will multiply eq 1 times TWO and subtract eq 2 from eq 1a)
eq 1a) 4c + 2a = 16.4
eq 2) 3c + 2a = 14.1
subtract (4c - 3c) + (2a -2a) = 16.4 - 14.1
c + 0 = 2.3 euros for one child ticket
Now find the adult ticket price, plug 2.3 for c into eq 1)
eq 1) 2c + 1a = 8.2
eq 1) 2(2.3) + 1a = 8.2 solve for a
4.6 + a = 8.2 substract 4.6 from both sides
a = 8.2 - 4.6
= 3.6 euros for one adult ticket
double check using eq 2) we know c and a values
eq 2) 3c + 2a = 14.1
eq 2) 3(2.3) + 2(3.6) = 14.1
6.9 + 7.2 = 14.1
14.1 = 14.1
6u + 3u = 18
9u = 18
u = 18/9
u = 2
