Using proportions, the amount of money that Sam would need each month to pay his bills is of:

b. at least $425.32.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, his annual social security benefit is of 42% of $37,991, hence:

A = 0.42 x 37991 = $15,956.22.

Hence the monthly amount is given by:

M = 15956.22/12 = $1,329.68

He needs $1,755 monthly, hence the amount he needs is of at least:

An = 1755 - 1329.68 = $425.32.

Which means that option b is correct.

4 glue sticks cost $7.76<br><br> Which equation would help determine the cost of 13 glue sticks?
Elza [17]

Answer:

y=1.94x

13 glue sticks cost $25.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 blue sticks cost $7.76, this means that one glue stick costs

$7.76/4 = $1.94.

Let y be the cost of the glue sticks, and x be the number of glue sticks; then

\boxed{y=1.94x}

We can use this equation to find the cost of 13 glue sticks; we just put x=13\ into our equation and it gives:

y=1.94(13)=25.22

So 13 glue sticks cost $25.22.

Im so lost what the answer is
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Unfortunately, we can't do anything with 41 as it has no factors. Since 3\sqrt{41} is already simplified, try submitting that as your answer. If that doesn't work then try un-doing their steps and get rid of the 3:

3\sqrt{41}

\sqrt{41(9)}

\sqrt{369}

Hope this helps!
