Let's solve each of the questions in turn.
Question 1 A)
A large bin can hold 44 towels. A small bin holds three-fourths of a large bin. To find the capacity of the small bin:
\[
\text{Capacity of small bin} = \frac{3}{4} \times 44 = 33 \text{ towels}
\]
You've already put 17 towels in the small bin, so the number of towels you can still store in the small bin is:
\[
\text{Remaining capacity} = 33 - 17 = 16 \text{ towels}
\]
You can store up to 16 more towels.
Question 2 A)
You have completed 15% of the game by playing for 23 minutes. Let \( x \) be the total time to complete the game. The relationship can be set up as:
\[
\frac{15}{100} = \frac{23}{x}
\]
Cross-multiply to solve for \( x \):
\[
15x = 23 \times 100
\]
\[
15x = 2300
\]
\[
x = \frac{2300}{15} \approx 153.33 \text{ minutes}
\]
It will take approximately 153.33 minutes (or roughly 153 minutes) to complete the game.
Question 3 A)
Oksana and her three friends (4 people total) paid $540 for tickets, which included insurance of $15 for each person. The total cost for insurance is:
\[
\text{Total insurance} = 4 \times 15 = 60
\]
Subtract the insurance from the total cost to find the cost of the tickets:
\[
\text{Cost of tickets} = 540 - 60 = 480
\]
Now, to find the cost of one ticket:
\[
\text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{480}{4} = 120
\]
The cost for one ticket to the concert was $120.
Question 4 A)
Christiana makes $14 per hour and also receives an $18 tip. Let \( h \) be the hours she needs to work. The equation for her total earnings is:
\[
14h + 18 = 130
\]
Subtract 18 from both sides:
\[
14h = 130 - 18
\]
\[
14h = 112
\]
Now divide by 14:
\[
h = \frac{112}{14} = 8
\]
She should work 8 hours to make $130.
Question 5 A)
The dehumidifier removes 1.6 pints of water per hour and can hold up to 40 pints. The inequality representing how long it can run before it becomes full can be set as:
\[
1.6h \leq 40
\]
So, Option #2: 1.6h ≤ 40 represents how long the dehumidifier can run before it becomes full.
Summary of Answers:
- You can store up to 16 more towels.
- It will take approximately 153.33 minutes to complete the game.
- The cost for one ticket to the concert was $120.
- She should work 8 hours to make $130.
- Option #2 represents how long the dehumidifier can run before it becomes full.
