Answer:

C = 6.75n + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the cost of renting the party room can be written in the form;

C= mn+k ......i

Where C = cost

n = number of people

Substituting the 2 cases into the equation we have,

Case 1

117.5 = 10m + k ......1

Case 2

151.25 = 15m + k .....2

Subtracting eqn 1 from 2 we have

151.25 - 117.50 = 15m - 10m

5m = 33.75

m = 33.75/5 = 6.75

Substituting m = 6.75 into eqn 1, we have

117.50 = 10(6.75) + k

k = 117.5 - 67.50

k = 50

Therefore, rewriting the eqn i, we have

C = 6.75n + 50

a family has two cars. the first car has a fuel efficiency of 20 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of
nikklg [1K]

Car A consumes 25 gallon and car B consumes 15 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The fuel efficiency of car A = 20 miles per gallon.

The fuel efficiency of car B = 15 miles per gallon.

In a week, two cars went 725 miles and consumed 40 gallons.

To find the consumption of each car in that week.

Let,

Car A consumed x gallon

Car B consumed y gallon.

According to the problem,

x+y = 40 ----- (1)

20x+15y = 725

or, 4x+3y = 145 -------- (2)

From (1) we get, x = 40-y

Putting the value of x in (2) we get,

4(40-y)+3y = 145

or, 160-4y+3y = 145

or, -y = 145-160

or, y = 15

From (1) we get, x = 40-15 = 25

Hence,

Car A consumes 25 gallon and car B consumes 15 gallon.

What is the surface area of the cylinder with height 7 cm and radius 5 cm? Round
nalin [4]

Answer:

376.991 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

SA_{cylinder} = 2\pi r^{2}  + 2\pi rh

Surface Area = 2π(5²) + 2π(5)(7)

                      = 50π + 70π

                      = 120π

                      = 376.9911184... ≈ 376.991

<h2>Derive Surface Area of A Cylinder</h2>

If you take a look at a net of a cylinder, you can see it is composed of two circles(bases) and a rectangular strip with the length of the diameter of the circle

The formula for the area of a circle = πr², and since there are 2, it is 2πr²

The formula for circumference of a circle = 2πr, and since we are multiplying that by the height by the height of the cylinder, it is 2πrh

∴ 2πr² + 2πrh
