Using arithmetic and the information provided, there were 6 persons at the party.

<h3>Number of people at the party</h3>

The question is asking us to use the cost of the plates served to each person to calculate the number of people in the party from the information available in the question.

Normal charge of a plate of food = $95
Additional charge on each plate of food = $12.75
Total cost of the party = $656
Total cost of food for each person = $95 + $12.75 = $107.75

Number of people at the party can be obtained from; Total cost of food at the party/ Total cost of each plate of food

= $656/ $107.75 = 6 persons

A student has a 2% salt water solution and a 7% salt water solution. To best imitate salt water at a local beach, he needs 1 lit

FromTheMoon [43]

Let

x-------> the amount of $2\%$ solution

y--------> the amount of $7\%$ solution

we know that

$2\%=0.02\\7\%=0.07\\3.5\%=0.035$

so

$x+y=1$

$y=1-x$ -------> equation A

$0.02x+0.07y=0.035$ -------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$0.02x+0.07(1-x)=0.035$

$0.02x+0.07-0.07x=0.035$

$0.05x=0.035$

$x=0.7\ liters$

find the value of y

$y=1-x$

$y=1-0.7=0.3\ liters$

therefore

The student need $0.7\ liters$ of $2\%$ solution and $0.3\ liters$ of $7\%$ solution

<u>the answer is</u>

A) The percent values were written incorrectly in the equation

B) The amount of 7% solution should be written as 1 – x, not x – 1.

An oval track is made by erecting semicircles on each end of a 46 m by 92 m rectangle. Find the length of the track and

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$Length\,\, of\,\, the\,\, track=420.44\,m\\\\Area\,\,covered \,\,by\,\, the\,\, track=5893.06\,m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the Track:

Perimeter of the rectangle + Circumference of the two semicircle

Perimeter of the rectangle= $2(Length+Width)$

$Length=92\,m\\Width=46\,m$

Perimeter of the rectangle:

$=2(92+46)\\\\=2(138)\\\\=276\,m$

Circumference of Two Semicircle with same radius:

$r=\dfrac{46}{2} =23\,m$

$Circumference=2\times \pi \times r\\\\$

$=2\times 3.14\times 23\\\\=6.28 \times 23\\\\=144.44\,m$

Total Length of the track is :

$=276+144.44\\\\=420.44\,m$

Area Covered by the track is :

Area of the two semicircle + Area of the rectangle

$=(\pi \times r^2) + (Length\times Width)\\\\=(3.14\times (23\times 23 ))+(92\times 46)\\\\=1661.06 +4232\\\\=5893.06\,m^2$
