Answer:The new cost per person= $19 when there are 12 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let Number of people be rep as N
And Cost per person = C
such that the relationship of number of people which varies inversely with the cost per person is given as
N∝ 1/C
Introducing constant of proportionality, k, we have that
N= K/C
such that when there were 4 people the cost per person was $57, K would be
N= K/C
4 = K /57
k= 57 X 4
k=228
Step 2
Therefore If the number of people changed to 12, cost per person would be
N= K/C
12= 228 / C
C= 228/12
C= 19
The new cost per person= $19 when there are 12 people
4x + 5y = 9
5y = -4x + 9
y = -4/5x + 9/5......slope intercept form (y = mx + b)
In y = mx + b form, which is what this equation is in now, the slope is in the m position and the y int is in the b position
y = mx + b
y = -4/5x + 9/5
so ur slope(m) = -4/5 and ur y int (b) = 9/5
Answer:
r = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the like terms: 8r = -24
Isolate r by dividing each side by 8: r = -24/8
Simplify: r = -3
Hope this helps
<u>Answer:</u>
Total paid = $717.3
Finance charge = $167.3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The cost price of mountain bike = $550
The down payment on bike = 75% of $550 = 0.75 * 550 = $412.5
We know that he will make 12 payments of $25.40 each so total monthly payments = 12 * 25.40 = $304.8
The total amount paid = Down payment + Total monthly payments = $412.5 + $304.8 = $717.3
The finance charge = Total amount paid - Cost price = $717.3 - $550 = $167.3
