Question

The citation sovereign is a small jet that can carry up to 2650 pounds. the number of passengers p and and the number of suitcases c that the airplane can carry are estimated by 180p + 60c=2650. if 10 people board the aircraft how many suitcases can the airplane carry?

Answer 1

We are given the equation:

180 * p + 60 * c = 2650

Now finding for c when p = 10 by substitution:

180 * 10 + 60 * c = 2650

1800 + 60 c = 2650

60 c = 850

c = 14.17

So there are 14 suitcases that can be carried.

Answer:

14
