In order to solve this, you have to set up a systems of linear equations.

Let's say that children = c and adults = a

30a + 12c = 19,080
a + c = 960

I'm going to show you how to solve this system of linear equations by substitution, the easiest way to solve in my opinion.

   a + c = 960 
       - c    -    c
 ---------------------- ⇒ Step 1: Solve for either a or c in either equation.
   a = 960 - c 



20(960 - c)+ 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 20c + 12c = 19,080
   19,200 - 8c = 19,080
 - 19,200         - 19,200
---------------------------------- ⇒ Step 2: Substitute in the value you got for a or c
         8c = -120                    into the opposite equation.                                                
       ------  ---------
          8         8
 
         c = -15



30a + 12(-15) = 19,080
   30a - 180 = 19,080
          + 180  +     180
 -------------------------------
   30a = 19,260
  -------   -----------
    30          30
     
       a = 642
__________________________________________________________

I just realized that there can't be a negative amount of children, so I'm sorry if these results are all wrong.

$30x+$12y=$19080
x+y=960
y=960-x
30*x+12*960-x=$19080
30x-12x=-7560
-18x=-7560
x=-7560/-18
x=420
therefore there are 420 children
960-420=540
and there are 540 adults

In a small town, 50% of single family homes have a front porch. 48 single family homes are randomly selected. Let X represent th
Reil [10]

Answer:

N(24, 3.46)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Percentage of family homes having front poach = 50%

p = 50\% = 0.50

Sample size, n = 48

Normal approximation to the given distribution:

\mu = np = 48(0.50) = 24

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{48(0.50)(1-0.50)} = 3.46

Thus, the distribution of single family homes is best approximated by the normal distribution N(24, 3.46) where mean is 24 and standard deviation is 3.46

3. Use Sydney's Minimum Payment Summary to answer the statements that follow.
VashaNatasha [74]

Explanation:

<u>Part 1</u>

The total monthly payment will remain level at the amount currently scheduled for Month 1. The revised totals are shown at the bottom of the attachment.

When Card C is fully paid, the same total payment will continue to be used until all card debts are paid.

__

<u>Part 2</u>

The excess over the sum of minimum payments will be applied to Card C (24% rate). The minimum payment will continue to be made for the other credit cards. The revised Card C payments are shown at the bottom of the attachment.

When Card C is fully paid, the excess over the sum of minimum payments will be applied to Card B (20% rate).

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

You can't think too much about the given numbers. The minimum payment amounts given here decrease way faster than you would expect. For example, the $1.36 decrease in the minimum payment for Card A from Month 1 to Month 2 corresponds to a balance decrease of more than $90 when the interest rate is 1.5% per month. That is not possible if the payment is only $32.19.

Apparently, the question is not about the actual numbers. Rather, it is about the strategy of debt reduction. Some (bogus) numbers are given here just so you have something to think about.

The approach described in the problem statement has been given the name "debt avalanche" to distinguish the approach from Dave Ramsey's "debt snowball." The "debt snowball" approach pays off the <em>minimum balance</em> first, not the highest interest rate. It also includes some extra cash above the sum of minimum balances. ($100 is suggested; more is better.) The psychological effect of the quick win is considered to be more important than the extra cost of carrying the higher-rate debt for a longer period.

raketka [301]

Answer:

StartFraction 7 over 2 EndFraction can be used to find the unit rate if one divides 7 by 2 and compares the result to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have the points

B(2, 7) and D(4, 14)

substitute the values

m=\frac{14-7}{4-2}

m=\frac{7}{2}

The unit rate is

m=\frac{3.5}{1}

therefore

StartFraction 7 over 2 EndFraction can be used to find the unit rate if one divides 7 by 2 and compares the result to 1
