5,000 - bag of fertilizer
500 - Mike’s lawn
3/4 - applied fertilizer
4 - frequency in 1 year
(500 x 3/4 )x 4
(1500 / 4 ) x 4
1500 sqm / yr
5,000 sqm / 1500sqm/yr
3.33 yr
He will be able to fertilize it in 3 full years
Each of the 4 friends spent 15 dollars so all you need to do is multiply 4 by 15. 4x15=60
The first thing we are going to do for this case is to define the following variable:
x = number of trees.
We then have that the equation that represents the problem is given by:
y = 50 (x-1) + 20
Rewriting:
y = 50x - 50 + 20
y = 50x - 30
Substituting for y = 390 we have:
390 = 50x - 30
We clear x:
x = (390 + 30) / (50)
x = 8.4
nearest whole integer
x = 8
Answer:
