A food truck sells salads for $6.50 each and drinks for $2.00 each. The food trucks revenue from selA food truck sells salads for $6.50 each and drinks for $2.00 each. The food trucks revenue from selling a total of 209 salads and drinks in one day was $836.50. How many salads were sold that day?
Let the number of drinks be d. Let the number of salads be s. We're given two equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]2d + 6.50s = 836.50
[*]d + s = 209
[/LIST]
We can use substitution to solve this system of equations quickly. The question asks for the number of salads (s). Therefore, we want all expressions in terms of s. Rearrange Equation 2 by subtracting s from both sides:
d + s - s = 209 - s
Cancel the s's, we get:
d = 209 - s
So we have the following system of equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]2d + 6.50s = 836.50
[*]d = 209 - s
[/LIST]
Substitute equation (2) into equation (1) for d:

Declare variables:
[LIST]
[*]Let a be the number of adult's tickets
[*]Let c be the number of children's tickets

Cost = Price * Quantity
We're given two equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]a + c = 20
[*]15a + 10c = 225
[/LIST]
Rearrange equation (1) in terms of a:
[LIST=1]
[*]a = 20 - c
[*]15a + 10c = 225
[/LIST]
Now that I have equation (1) in terms of a, we can substitute into equation (2) for a:
15(20 - c) + 10c = 225
Solve for [I]c[/I] in the equation 15(20 - c) + 10c = 225
We first need to simplify the expression removing parentheses
Simplify 15(20 - c): Distribute the 15 to each term in (20-c)
15 * 20 = (15 * 20) = 300
15 * -c = (15 * -1)c = -15c
Our Total expanded term is 300-15c
Our updated term to work with is 300 - 15c + 10c = 225
We first need to simplify the expression removing parentheses
Our updated term to work with is 300 - 15c + 10c = 225
[SIZE=5][B]Step 1: Group the c terms on the left hand side:[/B][/SIZE]
(-15 + 10)c = -5c
[SIZE=5][B]Step 2: Form modified equation[/B][/SIZE]
-5c + 300 = + 225
[SIZE=5][B]Step 3: Group constants:[/B][/SIZE]
We need to group our constants 300 and 225. To do that, we subtract 300 from both sides
-5c + 300 - 300 = 225 - 300
[SIZE=5][B]Step 4: Cancel 300 on the left side:[/B][/SIZE]
-5c = -75
[SIZE=5][B]Step 5: Divide each side of the equation by -5[/B][/SIZE]
-5c/-5 = -75/-5
c = [B]15[/B]
Recall from equation (1) that a = 20 - c. So we substitute c = 15 into this equation to solve for a:
a = 20 - 15
a = [B]5[/B]

So what we do next is, take x = 2, and plug it into answer choices A-D, and see which one results in 8/5
A) 3/3 = 1 <-- Nope
B) Since 5 is 15/3, we have 15/3 - 2/3 = 13/3 which is over 4, so Nope
C) 5 - (2/(2 + 3)) = 5 - (2/5). Since 5 is 25/5, we have 25/5 - 2/5 = 23/5. <-- Nope
D) 5 - (17/(2 + 3)) = 5 - 17/5. Since 5 is 25/5, we have 25/5 - 17/5 = 8/5 <-- YES
Since 8/5 = 8/5, our answer is [B]D) 5 - (17/(x + 3))[/B]

The sum of twice an integer and 3 times the next consecutive integer is 48The sum of twice an integer and 3 times the next consecutive integer is 48
Let the first integer be n
This means the next consecutive integer is n + 1
Twice an integer means we multiply n by 2:
2n
3 times the next consecutive integer means we multiply (n + 1) by 3
3(n + 1)
The sum of these is:
2n + 3(n + 1)
The word [I]is[/I] means equal to, so we set 2n + 3(n + 1) equal to 48:
2n + 3(n + 1) = 48
Solve for [I]n[/I] in the equation 2n + 3(n + 1) = 48
We first need to simplify the expression removing parentheses
Simplify 3(n + 1): Distribute the 3 to each term in (n+1)
3 * n = (3 * 1)n = 3n
3 * 1 = (3 * 1) = 3
Our Total expanded term is 3n + 3
Our updated term to work with is 2n + 3n + 3 = 48
We first need to simplify the expression removing parentheses
Our updated term to work with is 2n + 3n + 3 = 48
[SIZE=5][B]Step 1: Group the n terms on the left hand side:[/B][/SIZE]
(2 + 3)n = 5n
[SIZE=5][B]Step 2: Form modified equation[/B][/SIZE]
5n + 3 = + 48
[SIZE=5][B]Step 3: Group constants:[/B][/SIZE]
We need to group our constants 3 and 48. To do that, we subtract 3 from both sides
5n + 3 - 3 = 48 - 3
[SIZE=5][B]Step 4: Cancel 3 on the left side:[/B][/SIZE]
5n = 45
[SIZE=5][B]Step 5: Divide each side of the equation by 5[/B][/SIZE]
5n/5 = 45/5
Cancel the 5's on the left side and we get:
n = [B]9[/B]

It costs $50 to get in to the park and each ride costs $2 for a ticket. Write an expression for the total cost of going to Cedar Point where r is the number of rides.
Set up the cost equation C(r):
C(r) = Cost per ride * r rides + Park Fee
[B]C(r) = 2r + 50[/B]
You can afford monthly deposits of $270 into an account that pays 3.0% compounded monthly. How longYou can afford monthly deposits of $270 into an account that pays 3.0% compounded monthly. How long will it be until you have $11,100 to buy a boat. Round to the next higher month.
[U]Set up our accumulation expression:[/U]
270(1.03)^n = 11100
1.03^n = 41.1111111
[U]Take the natural log of both sides[/U]
n * Ln(1.03) = 41.1111111
n = 3.71627843/0.0295588
n = 125.72 so round up to [B]126[/B]

You work for a remote manufacturing plant and have been asked to provide some data about the cost ofYou work for a remote manufacturing plant and have been asked to provide some data about the cost of specific amounts of remote each remote, r, costs $3 to make, in addition to $2000 for labor. Write an expression to represent the total cost of manufacturing a remote. Then, use the expression to answer the following question. What is the cost of producing 2000 remote controls?
We've got 2 questions here.
Question 1: We want the cost function C(r) where r is the number of remotes:
C(r) = Variable Cost per unit * r units + Fixed Cost (labor)
[B]C(r) = 3r + 2000
[/B]
Question 2: What is the cost of producing 2000 remote controls.
In this case, r = 2000, so we want C(2000)
C(2000) = 3(2000) + 2000
C(2000) = 6000 + 2000
C(2000) = [B]$8000[/B]

z , subtract 5 then times by 3z , subtract 5 then times by 3
Take this algebraic expression two parts:
[LIST]
[*]z subtract 5: z - 5
[*][I]Then times by 3[/I] means we multiply the expression z - 5 by 3
[/LIST]
[B]3(z - 5)[/B]
z fewer than the difference of 5 and yz fewer than the difference of 5 and y
Take this algebraic expression in parts:
The difference of 5 and y means we subtract y from 5
5 - y
z fewer than this difference means we subtract z from 5 - y
[B]5 - y - z[/B]
Zalika thinks of a number. She subtracts 6 then multiplies the result by 5. The answer is the same aZalika thinks of a number. She subtracts 6 then multiplies the result by 5. The answer is the same as subtracting 5 from the number then multiplying by 4.
The phrase [I]a number[/I] means an arbitrary variable, let's call it x. We're given two expressions in relation to this number (x):
[U]She subtracts 6 then multiplies the result by 5[/U]
[LIST]
[*]Subtract 6: x - 6
[*]Multiply the result by 5: 5(x - 6)
[/LIST]
[U]She subtracts 5 from the number then multiplying by 4[/U]
[LIST]
[*]Subtract 6: x - 5
[*]Multiply the result by 5: 4(x - 5)
[/LIST]
Finally, the expression [I]is the same as[/I] means an equation, so we set the first expression equal to the second expression to make the following equation:
5(x - 6) = 4(x - 5)
Now, let's solve the equation for x. To do this, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=5%28x-6%29%3D4%28x-5%29&pl=Solve']type this equation into our search engine [/URL]and we get:
x = [B]10[/B]
