A boat in the ocean is 300 feet away from land, where a lighthouse is. If the top of the lighthouse is 125 feet above sea level, find the measure of the angle of elevation that the captain of the boat is looking at to look at the light at the top of the lighthouse. (note: the captain's eyes are at sea level). You found the equation... now find the angle.

6 toppings

$7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

let t = topping

Option 1 = 3 + 0.75t

Option 2 = 4.50 + 0.5t

Equate the equations and solve for t:

3 + 0.75t = 4.50 + 0.5t

Subtract 3 from both sides:  0.75t = 1.5 + 0.5t

Subtract 0.5t from both sides:  0.25t = 1.5

Divide both sides by 0.25:  t = 6

Therefore, the price of the ice cream cups wil be the same for 6 toppings.

Substitute t = 6 into one of the equations for the price:

price = 3 + (0.75 x 6) = 3 + 4.5 = $7.50
