Answer:
(a) B
(b) $2
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Let's say the cost of a ticket is t and the cost of popcorn is p. Then we can write the two equations from the table:
12t + 8p = 184
9t + 6p = 138
We need to solve this, so let's use elimination. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4:
3 * (12t + 8p = 184)
4 * (9t + 6p = 138)
We get:
36t + 24p = 552
36t + 24p = 552
Subtract the second from the first:
36t + 24p = 552
- 36t + 24p = 552
________________
0 = 0
Since we get down to 0 = 0, which is always true, we know that we cannot determine the cost of each ticket because there is more than one solution (infinitely many, actually). The answer is B.
(b) Our equation from this, if we still use t and p, is:
5t + 4p = 82
Now, just choose any of the two equations from above. Let's just pick 9t + 6p = 138. Now, we have the system:
5t + 4p = 82
9t + 6p = 138
To solve, let's use elimination again. Multiply the first equation by 6 and the second one by 4:
6 * (5t + 4p = 82)
4 * (9t + 6p = 138)
We get:
30t + 24p = 492
36t + 24p = 552
Subtract the second from the first:
36t + 24p = 552
- 30t + 24p = 492
________________
6t + 0p = 60
So, t = 60/6 = $10. Plug this back into any of the equations to solve for p:
5t + 4p = 82
5 * 10 + 4p = 82
50 + 4p = 82
4p = 32
p = 32/4 = $8
So the ticket costs 10 - 8 = $2 more dollars than the popcorn.
Answer:
$12
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you meant $6 per 1/2 hour
since by multiplying 1/2 by 2 we get 1 ( our unit rate) 6*2 = 12
whole number
12
fraction
12/1

Expressed in scientific notation the answer would be 3.05 X 10^6
Answer:
The expression you are looking for is: 18+x
Step-by-step explanation:
Marilyn's finance charge at the end of the first month will be
$991.38 × 0.199/12 = $16.44
The balance subject to the next month's finance charge will be
$991.38 +16.44 -410.00 = $597.82
The finance charge at the end of the second month will be
$597.82 × 0.199/12 = $9.91
The balance remaining after the second payment will be
$597.82 +9.91 -410.00 = $197.73
The finance charge applied at the end of the third month is
$197.73 × .199/12 = $3.28
so Marilyn can make one final payment of
$197.73 +3.28 = $201.01
to pay off the balance.
In all, Marilyn has paid 2×$410.00 +201.01 =
$1021.01 . . . . . . . . corresponds to the first choice_____
In real life, Marilyn's credit card may not accrue any finance charge until after the first statement on which the charge appears. Thus the total cost of the purchase may be only $1004.02. The attached spreadsheet shows the beginning balance and the finance charges for each month for the two different scenarios.
