Answer: The trip was 440 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
A girl scout leader rented a bus for a trip to the museum.
Let x represent the number of miles
traveled over 350 miles.
Let y represent the total cost of travelling x miles
The bus company charged $275 plus $.35 for each mile traveled over 350 miles. This means that for x miles, the cost will be
y = 275 + 0.35x
If the bus trip cost $429, it means that y = 429
To determine the number of miles,we will substitute y = 429 into the equation. It becomes
429 = 275 + 0.35x
0.35x = 429 - 275 = 154
x = 154/0.35 = 440
x = 440 miles
Answer:
$16
Step-by-step explanation:
$2 x 5 = $10
1 pound = $9
2/3 = $6
10+6=16
131 3/4 ⇒ 115 5/8 ⇒ 5 2/3
Subtract 131 3/4 by 115 5/8.
131 3/4 ⇒ 131 6/8
131 6/8 - 115 5/8 = 16 1/8
Now add 16 1/8 + 5 2/3 and this will give you how much weight she lost in all.
16 1/8 ⇒ 16 3/24
5 2/3 ⇒ 5 16/24
16 3/24 + 5 16/24 = 21 19/24
Felice lost 21 19/24 pounds in all.
