In a two candidate election, Amanda received 7 times as many votes as Joshua. If a total of 16 votes were cast, then how many votes did Joshua receive?

2 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 7 times joshua so we can write that as 7j

16 is the total so we are going to put an equal sign before that

7j=16

To solve, isolate j

To do that divide by 7 on each side

you get 2.28 votes but you can't have a fraction of a person voting so it would be 2 votes

there are no answer choices

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

number of candles set =x

price of of x candles =p(x)

we are given

a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week

so, we get point as (200,10)

he finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week

so, we can find slope

now, we can use point slope form of line

now, we can plug values

we can use point

and find b

now, we can plug it back

and we get

now, we can find revenue

we know that

revenue = price*quantity

so, we get
