Answer: 16
Solution:
1) Use letters to identify the variables:
Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c
2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.
2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets
=> t + c = 27
2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99
Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c
Total cost = 149t + 99c
2.3) Total sales were $3223
=> 149t + 99c = 3223.
3) State the system of equations:
Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223
4) Solve the system of equations:
4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:
=> 149t + 149c = 4023
4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1
=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223
=> 50c = 800
=> c = 800 / 50 = 16
5) Verify the solution:
From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11
Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223
Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets
Answer:
45.45
Step-by-step explanation:
25 is 55% of What Number? - 25 is 55% of 45.45. 100% of 45.45 is 45.45, therefore 55 percent of 45.45 equals 25.

Answer:
282 hr <======= see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance / rate = time
2.4 x 10^9 mi / 85 m/hr = 28235294 hr
You must have left the power of 10 off of your speed
probably should be 8.5 x 10^6 perhaps? then answer is 282
<h3>If speed was 8.5 x 10^5
then answer becomes ~ 2820 </h3>
