Which equation can be used to determine the number of games that she plays? A. 6.25x + 7.50 = 26.25 B. 6.25x − 7.50 = 26.25 C. 7.50x + 6.25 = 26.25 D. 7.50x − 6.25 = 26.25

Answer 1

Answer:1. B.4968

2. A. $6.25x+$7.50= $26.25

Explanation:

For no.1 :

Get the population for the second year first,

115/100*4500= 5175

Get the population of the third year

96\100*5175=4968

For no.2 :

The total is gotten by adding the admission fee to the total cost for all the games, and (x) is the number of games, therefore :

$6.25x+$7.50=$26.25
