Question

Q2 Colleges can purchase your name and mailing address from the Student Search Service after you
take the PSAT or SAT. (Unless you check the box to keep this information private.) Colleges pay
the Service $185 plus 28 cents for each name bought.
A. How much will a college pay for a list of 1000 names?
B. One college made an order in the amount worth over $48,000. How many names did the
college order?
C. The service had $17 million dollars in orders last year. If the orders came from 700 colleges,
how many names did all these colleges order? If there were 1.3 million students whose names
were available, what was the average number of mailings sent to each of those students?

Answer 1

All of these can be solved by one simple equation where
y= total cost
x = number of students

y = 185 + .28x

A. Well, you have a flat fee of 185 + 28c per student so,
185 + .28(1000) = $465

B. (48000 - 185)/.28 = 170768 names

C. This one is a bit more tricky as you have to subtract the flat fee first for all of the colleges.

17,000,000 - (700*185) = 16870500

16870500/.28 = 60251785.7 names

Divide that number by the number of names to get average mailings. Each student received approximately 46 mailings.

Answer 2

Q2 Colleges can purchase your name and mailing address from the Student Search Service after you take the PSAT or SAT. (Unless you check the box to keep this information private.) Colleges pay the Service $185 plus 28 cents for each name bought.
A. How much will a college pay for a list of 1000 names?

Ans: 185.28 x 1000 = 185280 dollars

B. One college made an order in the amount worth over $48,000. How many names did the college order?

48000 / 185.28 = 259.0675. Since it is mentioned that the order is over 48000, may be 260.

C. The service had $17 million dollars in orders last year. If the orders came from 700 colleges,
how many names did all these colleges order? If there were 1.3 million students whose names
were available, what was the average number of mailings sent to each of those students?

Answer 3

x = number of names
so the total the service pays is
185 + (0.28)x

a)
185 + (0.28)(1000) = $465

b)
185 + (0.28)x > 48000
(0.28)x > 47815
x > 170767.8571
so, they bought 170,768 names.

c)
185 + (0.28)x = 17 mil
x = 60,713,625 names in all

60713625 / 1.3 mil = 46.7 mailings per student

Answer 4

185 + .28x is the formula. Do the rest yourself.

Answer 5

Ur question and ur long word question dont match...

who is smart at math???? answer= me

other long question answer =
a.185+ 1000(0.28) = 185 +280=465 dolllars
b.im too lazy...
c. im too lazy to answer

Answer 6

A: $185.00 + $0.28 * 1000 = $465.00

B: $48,000.00 = &185.00 + $0.28 * X
$48,000.00 - $185.00 = $47,815.00
$47,815.00 / $0.28 = 170,768
X = 170,768

C: $17,000,000 / 700 = 24,286
24,286 * $0.28 = 6,800

I dont understand the last part.
