Answer:
25 people
Step-by-step explanation:
These are the pieces of information we know.
- 1/6 who came to the restaurant ordered fish tacos
- There were 30 customers in total
- We need to find the number of people who did not order fish tacos
1. The number of people who ordered fish tacos can be expressed as: 30 x 1/6, which is 5. We know that 5 people ordered fish tacos.
2. Since we want to know the number of people who didn't want fish tacos, we take 5 away from 30: 30 - 5, which is 25.
25 people did not order fish tacos on Tuesday.
100 divided by 3.50 = 28.6
So there would be 28 baskets.
To solve a multi-variable problem, you need to isolate single variables. To do this, there are two ways to do it. One way you eliminate one of the variables and the other you substitute.
In this example, you are being asked to eliminate one of the variables. To do this, you multiply 2x+2y= 12 by 2 and get 4x+4y = 24.
See how now both equations contain a 4y?
Using this you can subtract one equation from the other.
5x+4y=28
- 4x+4y=24
And then you get x=4
To get the other variable, you substitute 4 in for x (in one of the equations) and then solve for y.
2(4) + 2y =12
8+2y= 12
2y=4
y=2
Therefore, x = 4 and y = 2
Answer:
• Second step → Division property of equality.
• Third step → Simplifying.
• Fourth step → Subtraction property of equality.
• last step → Simplifying [ answer ]
