Finance A bicycle shop hires road bikes for £25 per day and tandems for £40 per day. One day a family pays £155. a Which type of bicycles did they hire?
b How many people are in the family?

3 road bikes and 2 tandems

7 people

Step-by-step explanation:

25b + 40t = 155

b=3   and t = 2

Check

25*3  + 40*2 = 155

75+80 = 155

Assuming 1 person per road bike and 2 people per tandem

3*1 + 2*2 = 3+4 = 7

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
