One hundred sixty-two guests attended a banquet. Three servers provided their beverages. The first server helped three times as many people as the second server and the third server helped twice as many people as the first server. How many guests did each server help?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of guests the second server helped be x.

then the first server helped 3x

then the third server helped [(3x)*2] = 6x

Equation in total:

                               6x + 3x + x = 162

                                10x = 162

                                   x = 16.2

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.

step-by-step explanation:

$75.00

step-by-step explanation:

i = prt

i = 1,5000 * 0.025 * 2

i = 75
