A law firm is going to designate associates and partners to a big new case. The daily rate charged to the client for each associ

ate is $700 and the daily rate for each partner is $1700. The law firm assigned 4 more partners than associates to the case and was able to charge the client $21200 per day for these lawyers' services. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of associates assigned to the case and the number of partners assigned to the case. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Let the daily rate of each associate, A = $700

And the daily rate of each partner, P = $1700

Let the total number of individuals involved in the case = NT

Total number of partners = NP

Total number of associates = NA

NP + NA = NT -------- (i)

From the question; NP - NA = 4 -------- (ii)

From (i), NA = NT - NP

Substitute in (ii) as: NP - (NT - NP) = 4

Therefore, 2NP - NT = 4.

And NP = 2 + (NT/2) --------- (iii)

Substitute for NP in (i) above: NT = NA + 2 + (NT/2)

Therefore, NT - (NT/2) - 2 = NA.

NA = (NT/2) - 2 ---------- (iv)

Finally, the total daily rate was $21200. This is a composite of the daily rate and numbers of both associates and partners.

Therefore, (A * NA) + (P * NP) = $21200 ---------- (v)

To find the individual number of associates and partners involved in this case, first substitute the values of NP and NA from (iii) and (iv) respectively into (v) such that the only variable in (v) is NT.

Solve for NT and then use the value to find NP and NA.

NT = 16

NP = 10

NA = 6

Notice that 10 - 6 = 4. Q.E.D

Hope this helps.

6ft to 8yd as a fraction in simplest form
raketka [301]
Must be in the same units
6 ft/ 24 ft   (8yds x 3 = 24 ft)
\frac{6}{24} =  \frac{1}{4}

Let's use yards instead
6 ft = 2 yds
so 
2 yds/8 yds  again is 1/4
