Answer:
61 bags of lettuce
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create two equations representing the cost of bags of lettuce:
Val's Veggies: 250 + 1.50x = V
Sally's Salads: 100 + 4.00x = S
If you buy 60 bags of lettuce from either store, the answers will be equivalent:
If x = 60
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 90 = V
340 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 240 = S
340 = S
Now that both equations are equivalent, all we need to do to tip the balance and make Val's Veggies cheaper is purchase one more bag of lettuce:
x = 61
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 91.50 = V
341.50 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 244 = S
344 = S
Since V represents the price of a bag of lettuce at Val's Veggies and V is now less than S (Sally's Salads), Val's Veggies is now the cheaper option.
Therefore, 61 bags of lettuce must be purchased in order for Val's Veggies to be the cheaper option.
The expression to represent this would be (m-18)/k.
We first subtract the 18 beads she used in her mother's bracelet from her beginning number, m. We then divide our result by k, the number of bracelets she made for her friends.
Answer:
$1.99 is more expensive.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
One type of lace edging cost $0.80 per foot
Another type of lace edging cost $1`.99 per foot.
We need to find which is more expensive.
In $0.88 where one's place is 0.
In $1.99 where one's place is 1.
By comparing the one's place obviously $1.99 more expensive.
Hope you will understand the concept.
Thank you.
