A company that offers tubing trips down a river rents tubes for a person to use and “cooler” tubes to carry food and water. A group spends $270 to rent a total of 15 tubes. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation. Use x to represent the number of one-person tubes rented and y to represent the number of cooler tubes rented. How many of each type of tube does the group rent?

The weekly amount spent by a company for travel has an approximately normal distribution with mean = $550 and standard deviation = $40. a) what is the probability that the actual weekly expense will exceed $570 for more than 20 weeks during the next year? (note: one year = 52 weeks) b) what is the probability that actual weekly expenses exceed $580 for 10 or more, but 16 or fewer weeks during the next year?
