A person on tour has dollar 360 for his daily expenses. If he extends his tour for 4 days, he has to cut down his daily expenses

mash [69]

Answer:

The original duration of the tour = 20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Total expenses for the tour = $360

Let the original tour duration be for $x$ days.

So, for $x$ days the total expense = $360

<em>Thus the daily expense in dollars can be given by</em> = $\frac{360}{x}$

Tour extension and effect on daily expenses.

The tour is extended by 4 days.

<em>Tour duration now</em> = $(x+4)$ days

On extension, his daily expense is cut by $3

<em>New daily expense in dollars </em>= $(\frac{360}{x}-3)$

Total expense in dollars can now be given as: $(x+4)(\frac{360}{x}-3)$

Simplifying by using distribution (FOIL).

$(x.\frac{360}{x})+(x(-3)+(4.\frac{360}{x})+(4(-3))$

$360-3x+\frac{1440}{x}-12$

$348-3x+\frac{1440}{x}$

We know total expense remains the same which is = $360.

So, we have the equation as:

$348-3x+\frac{1440}{x}=360$

Multiplying each term with $x$ to remove fractions.

$348x-3x^2+1440=360x$

Subtracting $348x$ both sides

$348x-348x-3x^2+1440=360x-348x$

$-3x^2+1440=12x$

Dividing each term with -3.

$\frac{-3x^2}{-3}+\frac{1440}{-3}=\frac{12x}{-3}$

$x^2-480=-4x$

Adding $4x$ both sides.

$x^2+4x-480=-4x+4x$

$x^2+4x-480=0$

Solving using quadratic formula.

For a quadratic equation: $ax^2+bx+c=0$

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Plugging in values from the equation we got.

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{(4)^2-4(1)(-480)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+1920}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{1936}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm44}{2}$

So, we have

$x=\frac{-4+44}{2}$ and $x=\frac{-4-44}{2}$

$x=\frac{40}{2}$ and $x=\frac{-48}{2}$

∴ $x=20$ and $x=-24$

Since number of days cannot be negative, so we take $x=20$ as the solution for the equation.

Thus, the original duration of the tour = 20 days

How many liters of water must Sharon add to 2 liters of a sugar and water solution that is 36% sugar to create a solution that i

Dahasolnce [82]

The amount of sugar $x$ in the starting solution contributes to a 36% concentration, so we have

$\dfrac x2=0.36\implies x=0.64$

units of sugar in the solution.

Into this solution, Sharon wants to pour $y$ liters of water to obtain a smaller concentration of sugar in the overall solution:

$\dfrac{0.64}{2+y}=0.12\implies\dfrac{16}3=2+y\implies y=\dfrac{10}3\approx3.33$

So Sharon needs to add $\dfrac{10}3$ liters of water to the solution to get the desired concentration.

Express the distance traveled as a function of the number of hours at the average speed. The morris family is traveling from pro

shusha [124]

Answer:

Dist = 45 m/h * x h

Step-by-step explanation:

We know a speed is a measure of distance over time: speed = dist / time

In this case, we are looking for a distance expressed in terms of time.

So, we only need to modify the formula a bit: dist = speed * time

We don't know the time (which will be a variable), but we know their speed. So, the formula becomes:

Dist = 45 m/h * x h

Enter the number of hours in the formula and that will give you an approximation of the distance traveled within that time (approximation since our result will be rely on an average).
