Answer:
B) 8 and 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just by looking at the answer choices, since one number must be three times the other, we can determine that the correct answer is B.
Regardless, let's work this out mathematically. Let the first number be <em>a</em> and the second number be <em>b</em>.
Their difference is 16. Hence:
The first number is three times the second number. So:
Substitute:
Solve for <em>b</em>. Subtract:
And divide both sides by two:
So, the second number is 8.
And since the first number is three times the second, the first number is 24.
Our answer is B as expected.
Step-by-step explanation:
60=5k
Is the equation because the word 'is' means equals, so we add an equal sign after the 60. "Five times greater" simply means multiply so we multiply 5 and k.
Then to solve the equation, you would need to divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable
60/5=5k/5
12=k
I hope this helped!
Answer:
The minimum would be 4,500, and the maximum would be 4,700.
Step-by-step explanation:
If I am not mistaken, you simply need to add or subtract 100 to find the minimum or maximum, as it stated that 4,600 is an estimate that is valid for a range of 100 (up or down).
Answer:
a) 4 people ordered streak dinner
b) 3 people ordered chicken dinner
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of people that ordered steak dinner be x
and the number of people that ordered chicken dinner be y
From the question,
There are 7 people in your family
Hence, we can write that
x + y = 7 ...... (1)
Also from the question
Some order the chicken dinner for $13 and some order the steak dinner for $18 and the total bill was $111.
We can then write that
13y + 18x = 111 ...... (2)
From equation (1)
x + y = 7
Then,
x = 7 - y ...... (3)
Put this into equation (2)
13y + 18x = 111
13y + 18(7 - y) = 111
13y + 126 - 18y = 111
-5y = -15
5y = 15
y = 15 / 5
y = 3
Put the value of y into equation (3) to get x
x = 7 - y
Then
x = 7 - 3
x = 4
Hence, 4 people ordered streak dinner
and 3 people ordered chicken dinner
a) 4 people ordered streak dinner
b) 3 people ordered chicken dinner
