Answer:

Answer: Around 1000 students would buy a school lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in one class, 14 students bring lunch from home, and 20 buy lunch in the school. This will be our sample.

In total we have 20 + 14 = 34 students, this will be our 100%.

The percentage of students that bring lunch from home can be estimated as the quotient between the number of students that bring lunch from home and the total number of students, times 100%.

p1 = (14/34)*100% = 41.18%

And the percentage of students that buy lunch at school can be computed in the same way:

p2= (20/34)*100% = 58.82%

Then, out of the 1700 students in middle school, we can estimate that around 58.82% of them will buy lunch in the school.

Then the exact number will be:

N = (58.82%/100%)*1700 = 1000

Around 1000 students would buy a school lunch.

John and his friend ordered lunch at a local sandwich shop. They each ordered a soft drink that costs $1.65. John orders a whole
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

a. $12.54 = $ 1.65 + c/2 + c b. $ 7.26

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What equation can you use to find the cost c of a sandwich

Let c be the cost of a whole ham sandwich. Now, the total bill = cost of drinks + cost of half a ham sandwich  + cost of a whole ham sandwich.

total bill = $ 12.54, cost of drinks = $ 1.65, cost of half a ham sandwich = c/2 and cost of a whole ham sandwich = c. So,

$12.54 = $ 1.65 + c/2 + c

b. What is the value of c

We then solve for c in the equation $12.54 = $ 1.65 + c/2 + c

collecting like terms, we have

$12.54 - $ 1.65 = c/2 + c

$ 10.89 = 3c/2

multiplying through by 2, we have

$ 10.89 × 2 = 3c

$ 21.78 = 3c

dividing through by 3, we have

c = $ 21.78/3

= $ 7.26
