Answer:

E started with 26 books, sold 13 books, bought 17 more books, and ended with 30 books

Step-by-step explanation:

E has _ books: x

E Sells 1/2 of that _ books: x/2

E buys 17 books and now had 30: (x/2) + 17 = 30

30 - 17 = 13

13 x 2 = 26

x/2 = 26

13 + 17 = 30 <-- checking work

My guess is that x = 13

In an auditorium, a charity show is conducted in order to raise at least $3,750. The auditorium can accommodate up to 180 specta

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x,\ x\ge 0$ be the number of students and $y,\ y\ge 0$ be the number of adults on the show.

1. Tickets cost $15 for students, so x student tickets cost $15x.

Tickets cost $25 for adults, so y adult tickets cost $25y.

Total cost of all tickets is $(15x + 25y).

The charity show is conducted in order to raise at least $3,750, thus

$15x+25y\ge 3,750$

2. The auditorium can accommodate up to 180 spectators, hence

$x+y\le 180$

3. We get the system of inequalities:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x\ge 0\\y\ge 0\\x+y\le 180\\15x+25y\ge 3,750\end{array}\right.$

Plot all solutions sets to each inequality and the common region is the solution set to the system of inequalities. This region is not empty, so the charity will reach its goal. For example, if they sell 50 students tickets and 125 adult tickets, they will raise $\$(15\cdot 50+25\cdot 125)=\$3,875$
