A state park charges an entrance fee based on the number of people in a vehicle. A car containing 2 people is charged $14, a car containing 4 people is charged $20, and a van containing 8 people is charged $32. So how much is a bus containing 30 people be charged

Therefore $98 is be charged a bus containing 30 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A state park charges an entrance fee based on the number of people in vehicle.

Let the entry fee for the vehicle be E and entry fee for each person be x.

Then

C= E+(P×x)

C= Total charge in $

E= entry fee for a vehicle

P=No. of person

x= Entry charge per person.

Given A car containing 2 people charged $14

C=$14, P=2

∴14= E+(2× x)

⇒E+2x=14(1)

Again A car containing 4 people charged $20

C=$20, P=4

∴20= E+(4× x)

⇒E+4x=20(2)

Subtract (1) from (2), we get

E+4x-(E+2x)= 20-14

⇒E+4x-E-2x=6

⇒2x=6

⇒x=3

Putting the value of x in equation (1)

E+(2×3)=14

⇒E=14-6

⇒E=8

Therefore E=$8 and x=$3

Next we check whether our assumption is correct or wrong. Putting the value of E and x for third case

Here P= 8

Therefore C= E+(P×x)

                    = 8+(8× 3)

                    =8+24

                   =$32

Therefore our assumption is correct.

Now C=? , P= 30

The charged for the 30 people is

C= $[8+(30×3)]

  =$[8+90]

 =$98

Therefore $98 is be charged a bus containing 30 people.

b

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
