This may be a bit awkward to explain in writing, so please bear with me:)

You are given the equations. Begin by focusing on ad = 11.6. Treating variables normally, this reads as a times d = 11.6.
From that, d = 11.6/a by dividing both sides by a.

With d expressed, substitute (11.6/a) into cd = 6.7. Then isolate c by multiplying both sides by a/11.6, yielding c = (6.7a)/11.6.

Now that c is known, insert (6.7a)/11.6 for c in bc = 8.3. The algebra becomes a bit messy, but solving for b gives approximately 14.3705 / a. Since you need ab, multiply both sides by a, and rounding to one decimal place produces ab = 14.4

Inessa [12570]

Answer:

Step-by-step breakdown:

Let c denote the quantity of child tickets sold.

Let a denote the quantity of adult tickets sold.

On Tuesday, the zoo sold a total of 250 admission tickets. This total consists of child tickets and adult tickets, resulting in the equation:

c + a = 250 - - - - - - - - - - 1

The cost for a child's ticket is $12.75, while an adult ticket costs $18.50. The total ticket sales amounting to $4739.50 indicates that:

12.75c + 18.5a = 4739.50 - - - - - - - 2

Equations 1 and 2 form the system necessary to find the number of adult tickets, a, and child tickets, c, sold.

If speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive and Kris takes 5 hours driving at 55 mph, what speed will Martin need to
AnnZ [12381]

Response:

55 mph. All options are incorrect.

Detailed explanation:

When speed changes inversely with the time taken, it can be expressed as v ∝ 1/t, where:

v represents speed,

t refers to the time taken.

This leads to;

v = k/t, with k being a constant of proportionality.

Given that Kris takes 5 hours traveling at 55 mph, we replace v with 55 mph and t with 5 hours in the equation to find k as follows:

55 = k/5

Cross-multiplying yields:

k = 55 * 5

k = 275

To determine the speed Martin needs to drive for 5 hours, we substitute k = 275 and t = 5 back into the original equation v = k/t as follows:

v = 275/5

v = 55 mph

Thus, we conclude that in order to travel for 5 hours, Martin must also drive at 55 mph.

Marge Torelli is a pilot. Her annual group insurance costs $4,400 and her company pays 80% of the cost. How much does Marge pay
PIT_PIT [12445]
The insurance provider covers 80% of the $4,400 expense:
0.8*4400 = $3520

Consequently, Marge's payment amounts to 4400 - 3520 = $880

However, noting that $4400 is the total for annual group insurance, to determine her monthly payment, we divide her yearly cost by 12:
880/12 = $73.33 (rounded to two decimal places)
