You are renting some tables for a party and have to choose between two different rental companies. The first charges $15 per table. The second charges $40 plus $11 per table. Based on this information , the second company is cheaper if you rent more than tables.

10

Step-by-step explanation:

15x = 40 + 11x

4x = 40

x = 10

10 tables they would cost the same, so more than 10 tables would make the second company cheaper

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
