Answer:
1036 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of students at West High be "w" and the number of students at East High be "e"
West High population is 250 FEWER than TWICE of East High, we can write:
w = 2e - 250
Total students in both schools is 2858, so we can write 2nd equation as:
e + w = 2858
We can replace 1st equation in 2nd to get an equation in e, and find "e":
e + w = 2858
e + (2e - 250) = 2858
3e - 250 = 2858
3e = 2858 + 250
3e = 3108
e = 3108/3
e = 1036
Hence,
number of students attending East High School = 1036 students
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
You can eliminate answer A because when X=1, Y must equal 33.75 not 33.
You can eliminate answer B because when X=0, Y must equal 0 not 1.
You can eliminate answer D because this answer has the X and Y coordinates reversed. When X=1, Y= 33.75. When X=4, Y=135, etc.
We need to figure out how many more cans they need to bring. We figure this out by subtracting 403 from 1,000, which gives us 596 more cans. We now divide 596/28, to find how many each student would need to bring. This equals 21.3. You might want to mention that each student can't bring .3 of a can, so the answer could be 22 also.
