a
10.95x + 2.50, but for eight books so 10.95 x 8 + 2.50 = 90.10
b
12.50x + 4.50, but for six books so 12.50 x 6 + 4.50 = 79.50
c
To do this, we can set them both equal to each other and if x is a whole number of books, then they do pay the same amount. If x is a decimal, then they don't pay the same amount.
10.95x + 2.50 = 12.50x + 4.50
2.50 - 4.50 = 12.50x - 10.95x
-2 = 1.55x
This can never be a whole number, so therefore members and non-members can never pay the same amount for an order of x books.
Answer:
$110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a, b, and c represent the earnings of Alan, Bob, and Charles. The problem statement tells us ...
a + b + c = 480 . . . . . . the combined total of their earnings
-a + b = 40 . . . . . . . . . . Bob earned 40 more than Alan
2a - c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . Charles earned twice as much as Alan
Adding the first and third equations, we get ...
(a + b + c) + (2a - c) = (480) + (0)
3a + b = 480
Subtracting the second equation gives ...
(3a +b) - (-a +b) = (480) -(40)
4a = 440 . . . . . . . . simplify
a = 110 . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a
Alan earned $110.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Bob earned $40 more, so $150. Charles earned twice as much, so $220.
The total is then $110 +150 +220 = $480 . . . . as required
