Thanks for posting your question here. The answer to the above problem is x = <span>48.125. Below is the solution:
</span>
x+x/7+1/11(x+x/7)=60
x = x/1 = x • 7/7
x <span>• 7 + x/ 7 = 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>x + x/7 + 1/11 <span>• 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>8x <span>• 11 + 8x/ 77 = 96x/ 77
</span>96x - 4620 = 12 <span>• (8x-385)
</span>8x - 385 = 0
x = 48.125
Given, there are an average of 150 citizens eat daile in the cafeteria.
The average price of their meals = $5.95.
The discount given for sinior citizens in their meals = 20%
So we have to find 20% of $5.95 first.
20% of $5.95 = 
= 
= 
= 
So, the amount of discount given to the senior citizens = $1.19 per head.
As there are 150 cinior citizens daily.
So total discount given daily = $
=$
So we have got the required answer.
Option C is correct here.
There is a missing graph in the problem given. However, we can simply solve the equation using the given data.
Items to be sold: scarves and hats. Minimum of 20 items sold in all.
Scarves sell for 10 each and hats sell for 20 each. Must sell at least 300 worth of merchandise to make profit.
Let s represent scarves and h represent hats.
10s + 20h <u>></u> 300
s + h <u>></u> 20
We use inequality because the problem states "at least".
s + h = 20
10s + 20h = 300
s = 20 - h
10(20-h) + 20h = 300
200 - 10h + 20h = 300
10h = 300 - 200
10h = 100
h = 100/10
h = 10
s = 20 - h
s = 20 - 10
s = 10
s + h <u>></u> 20
10 + 10 <u>></u> 20
10s + 20h <u>></u> 300
10(10) + 20(10) <u>></u> 300
100 + 200 <u>></u> 300
is it 46 ??? because i did the work and don't feel like explaining
