The total cost of a cake that serves 20 people is $35.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
- Total cost = y
- Number of additional servings = x
- The number of additional servings = 20 - 12 = 8. (x=8)
<u>The equation can be formed as</u>:
- Total cost = basic cost + (No. of additional serving
cost per additional serving) - y = 25 + x1.25
- Substitute x=8 in the above equation
- y = 25 + 8(1.25)
- y =25+10
- y = 35
Therefore, the total cost of a cake that serves 20 people is $35.
The answer is definately A
The board is 12x larger in length than the nails. (Since the width of the board and nails are unknown, I am assuming you mean the length, not area difference)
Remember PEMDAS is the order of operations. parenthesis,exponents,multiply,divide,add,subtract. so -8x-4x is -12x. now simplified the problem is 3(9-12x) + 8(3x+4)=11 . now I would distribute the numbers before the parentheses and it becomes 27-36x + 24x+32 =11 . now combine like terms. 59-12x =11 . subtract 59 on both sides. -12x=-48. divide -12 on both sides. x=4. :-)
yes its esy do it im a tell you how ot
