1. A catering company charges $95 plus $12.75 per plate of food. If the cost to cater a party was $656, how many people were at

son4ous [18]

Using arithmetic and the information provided, there were 6 persons at the party.

<h3>Number of people at the party</h3>

The question is asking us to use the cost of the plates served to each person to calculate the number of people in the party from the information available in the question.

Normal charge of a plate of food = $95
Additional charge on each plate of food = $12.75
Total cost of the party = $656
Total cost of food for each person = $95 + $12.75 = $107.75

Number of people at the party can be obtained from; Total cost of food at the party/ Total cost of each plate of food

= $656/ $107.75 = 6 persons

Could Keenan have started with 6 strawberries? Use your expression to explain why or why not.

Dahasolnce [82]

Note: you may have unintentionally missed to add the complete question. Therefore, after a little research, I am able to find the complete question which I am attaching to solve your query, which anyways would clear your concept.

The complete Question:

Keenan gives Tisha half of his strawberries. Tisha keeps 4 of the strawberries she got from Keenan and gives the rest to Suvi.

a) Write an expression for the number of strawberries Tisha gives to Suvi. Use k for the number of strawberries Keenan started with.

b) Could Keenan have started with 6 strawberries? Use your expression to explain why or why not.

Answer:

Part a)

An expression for the number of strawberries Tisha gives to Suvi will be: $n=\frac{k}{2} -4$

Part b)

Keenan could not have started with 6 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write an expression for the number of strawberries Tisha gives to Suvi. Use k for the number of strawberries Keenan started with.

Let $k$ be the total number of strawberries which Keenan has.

So,

$\frac{k}{2}$ is the number of strawberries Keenan gave to Tisha.

As Tisha keeps 4 strawberries and gives the rest to Suvi. Let $n$ be the number of strawberries which Suvi has.

So,

$n=\frac{k}{2} -4$

$\frac{k}{2}=n+4$

$k=2n+8$

Therefore, an expression for the number of strawberries Tisha gives to Suvi will be: $n=\frac{k}{2} -4$

b) Could Keenan have started with 6 strawberries? Use your expression to explain why or why not.

Considering the expression for the number of strawberries Tisha gives to Suvi

$n=\frac{k}{2} -4$

Putting $k = 6$ in the expression

$n=\frac{6}{2} -4$

Solving the expression

$n=3-4$ ∵ $\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{6}{2}=3$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:3-4=-1$

$n=-1$

So, Keenan would have started with 6 strawberries, then Suvi would have -1 strawberries. Since, strawberries cannot be negative as Suvi cannot have negative number of strawberries.

Therefore, Keenan could not have started with 6 strawberries.
