Your family goes to a Southern-style restaurant for dinner. There are 6 people in your family.Some order the chicken dinner for $14 and some order the steak dinner for $17. If the total bill
was $99, how many people ordered each dinner?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

We conclude that:

  • The number of people who ordered the chicken dinner = 1
  • The number of people who ordered the steak dinner = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

  • Some order the chicken dinner for $14
  • some order the steak dinner for $17.
  • Total bill = $99

  • Let 'n' be the number of people who ordered the chicken dinner.
  • Let '6-n' be the number of people who ordered the steak dinner.

Thus, the equation becomes

14n + 17(6-n) = 99

14n + 102 - 17n = 99

-3n = 99 - 102

-3n = -3

Divide both sides by -3

n = 1

and

6-n = 6-1 = 5

Therefore, we conclude that:

  • The number of people who ordered the chicken dinner = 1
  • The number of people who ordered the steak dinner = 5

Determine whether the sequence converges or diverges. if it converges give the limit. 48, 12, 3, 3/4, ...

Answers

The sequence converges.
The limit of the sequence is 0.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This is a geometric sequence with the first term a = 48 and r = 1/4 = 0.25 as the common ratio. Since |r| < 1, this means that the terms are steadily getting smaller and smaller. The terms will approach 0 but not actually get there.

Note: if you added up all the terms of this infinite sequence, then the sum would be S = a/(1-r) = 48/(1-0.25) = 64

A printing company uses the formula C=0.5x+10 to find the cost of printing x business cards which equation correctly solves the formula for x?

Answers

C=0.5x + 10

Where:
C = total cost of printing
x = number of business cards printed
0.5 = variable cost of printing, this cost depends on the number of business card
10 = fixed cost of printing, this cost stays the same regardless of the number of business card printed.

C = 0.5x + 10  ; derive the formula of x.

C - 10 = 0.5x

(C - 10)/0.5 = x

Answer: x = 2C - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation: C - 10 = 0.5x

Divide both sides by 0.5 and simplify:

C - 10

0.5

= x → 2(C - 10) = x → 2C - 20 = x

Finally, interchange the sides of the equation: x = 2C - 20.

The list of multiples for 6 is infinite.
True or False?

Answers

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

As there are infinite numbers, the list of multiples are also infinite.

Multiples of 6 : 6, 12 , 18 , 24 ..............

Answer:

True; yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about it, what does etc, etc mean? It means repetitive-a pattern, in a sort of way. So here are some multiples of 6:

6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60,66,72,78,84,90,96,102,108,114,120,126,132,138,144,150,156,162,168,174,180,186,192,198,204,210,216,222,228,234,240,246,252,258,264,270,276,282,288,294,  etc.

As you can see, all I'm doing is adding 6 to every step I go. So when you say there is an infinite number, then these multiples are going to be infinite.
