The payment to a clown for a children's party is directly proportional to the number of children under 12 at the birthday party. The clown earns $140 at a party that has 10 children attending,
.
How much will the clown earn when 22 children under the age of 12 attend?

If the clown uses 46% of the money earned on his props for the party, and the rest is
profit. What is the profit if only 10 children under the age of 12 attend the party?

Step-by-step explanation:

We know he earns $14 per child under 12

So he'll earn 22 times 14 which is $308 earned.

46% of 308 is basically 0.46 X 308=$141.68 spent on props.

He profits $166.32

If only 10 children attend.

He earns 10 times 14= $140

46% of these earnings is for props and 54% is profit so

0.54 X 140=$75.60.

Thus he profits $75.60 if 10 children attended.

Answer for part a:

the clown will earn $308 if 22 children under the age of 12 attend

Step-by-step explanation:

10:140

*multiply both by 2.2 since the number of kids went from 10 to 22

22: 308

Answer for part b:

$75.6

Step-by-step explanation:

140 • 0.46

140- 64.4= 75.6

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11 -1> 1 -1+ a

-12 > a
