A. The number of 10-boards Peter bought is equal to n divided by 10. Then, each of the 10-boxes will get two boxes of nails. The number of boxes of nails that Peter will have after buying n boards will be,
N = (2)(n/10)
Simplifying,
<em> N = n/5</em>
b. If the number of boards are 90 then,
N2 = (90/10)(2)(100 nails/box)
N2 = 1800
Answer: 1800
First, list the numbers from smallest to greatest:
12, 15, 18, 20, 23, 23, 28
Median is the middle number of the list—20.
Answer:
There were 3 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Derive the first expression
a+c=10...equation 1
where;
a=number of adults
c=number of children
And total number of people=10
Step 2: Derive the second expression;
Total cost of tickets=(price per child ticket×number of children)+(price per adult ticket×number of adults)
where;
Total cost of tickets=$186.50
price per child ticket=$15.95
price per adult ticket=$24.95
number of children=c
number of adults=a
replacing;
(15.95×c)+(24.95×a)=186.5
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5....equation 2
Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5
-
24.95(a+c=10)
(24.95 a-24.95 a)+(15.95 c-24.95 c)=186.5-(24.95×10)
-9 c=-63
c=-63/-9
c=7
replace the value for c in equation 1
a+c=10
a+7=10
a=10-7
a=3
There were 3 adults
