Answer:
1850
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is asking you how many kids (predicted by the superintendent) will buy lunches for 1-2 days. Since you know the percentage predicted and the student amount, just multiply as a decimal (convert by putting the number over 100 as a fraction.)
5000*0.37=1850
The first thing you would do is add all the numbers to get the total budget : $1500
Next you would calculate the present to get : 24.2% or just 24% if your rounding
~You would set up the equation x+(3x+5)=6565
~Combine like products so 3x+x=4x.
~Now you have 4x+5=6565.
~Isolate the variable by subracting the 5 from both sides, so you have 4x=6560.
~Since you multiply x by 4, divide both sides by 4, and 6560 divided by 4 is 1,640.
*The first number is 1,640.
~Now to find the second number you simply plug in 1,640 to (3x+5), with 1,640 being x.
~That would become [3(1,640)+5].
~3 times 1, 640 is 4,920, and add the 5 so you get 4,925.
*The second and larger number is 4,925.
If you wanna check just add the two numbers, and you get 6565.
