Andre makes a trip to Mexico. He exchanges some dollars for pesos at a rate of 20 pesos per dollar. While in Mexico, he spends 9

000 pesos. When he returns, he exchanges his pesos for dollars (still at 20 pesos per dollar). He gets back the amount he started with. Find how many dollars Andre exchanged for pesos and explain your reasoning. If you get stuck, try writing an equation representing Andre’s trip using a variable for the number of dollars he exchanged
Also is it possible if you could make it so I can copy and paste? I don't have much time left.

The answer is $450

If 20 pesos = $1, simply divide 9000 by 20 to get 450

Or do my way and divide 9000 by 10 to get 900 then divide by 2 to get 450

So the answer is $450

A gardener buys a rake and a pair of gloves for each of the 12 volunteers in the gardening club. Each pair of gloves
matrenka [14]

Let unit cost of one rake be : r

Given : Total number of volunteers = 12

Given : Each pair of gloves cost $8.00

⇒   Cost of 12 pair of gloves for 12 volunteers = (12 × 8) = $96

Given : The gardener spends a total of $300 on both rakes and gloves

⇒   Cost of 12 rakes + Cost of 12 pair of gloves = $300

⇒   12r + 96 = 300

⇒   12r = 204

⇒   r = 17

<u>Answer</u> : Cost of one rake is $17

The equation y 16t 2 18t 405 describes the height in feet of a ball thrown downward at 18 feet per second from a height of 405 f
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Ball hits the ground after 4.5 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a -1, so that the leading coefficient is positive

So our quadratic is

-1 \times (16t^2 +18t -405)

The key coefficients of two binomial variables can be 1 and 16, or 2 and 8, or 4 and 4, for the leading coefficient of 16.

Yet they can't actually be 4 and 4 because the linear (x) term coefficient has to be a multiple of 4, which it isn't and leading coefficients 1 and 16 on the binomial factors is not likely.

So, 2 and 8 taken as the leading coefficients of  two binomial factors.

For constant  405, possible factorizations are (81\times 5, 27 \times 15, 9 \times 45).

(16t^2 +18t -405) = (8t + 45) (2t - 9)

Taking first factor, thus we find  negative value for given time t. But  second time equivalent to zero gives the value of 4.5 for t

Thus ball hits the ground after 4.5 sec
