The amount he had to pay if he have to purchase a laptop today that is the same value as the one he saw in the ad is $ 390.24.

Given that:-

Price of the laptop after 1 year = $ 400.

Inflation rate = 2.5 %

We have to find the amount he had to pay if he have to purchase a laptop today that is the same value as the one he saw in the ad.

Let the price he had to pay be x.

Hence, we can write,

x + (x*(2.5)*1)/100 = 400

x(1 + 1/40) = 400

x(41/40) = 400

x = 400*40/41 = $ 16000/41 = $ 390.24.

Light A flashes every 2 minutes while light B flashes every 7. The goal is to figure out when both lights flash at the same time and then figure out the other part later. You have to find the common multiples of 7 and 2. Meaning that you have to find out which number can they both be multiplied into. In this case, it is 14 because 7 can be multiplied by 2 to get 14 and 2 can be multiplied by 7. So if every 14 minutes they flash together at the same time, now you need to find out what time AFTER 3 will they both flash. You know that they both flashed at 1:00 so they will flash again at 1:14 and 1:28 and so on, but you need to find out when is the soonest they will flash after 3. 2 hours after the 1:00 flash will be 3:00 so that is 120 minutes. 120 minutes divided by 14 minutes comes to 8.5 but you dont need the decimal. Just simply multiply 14 by 8 and that comes to 112 minutes and if you add that to 1:00 you get 2:52. so they flashed at 2:52 so the next time they flash will be 14 minutes after 2:52. Sorry for the super long answer

Which graph correctly represents (5/2)x - y < 3?
Setler79 [48]

You can rewrite the inequality as

y > \cfrac{5}{2}\ x - 3

Note that

y = f(x) = \cfrac{5}{2}\ x - 3

is the equation of the line drawn in the pictures. This means that, for every point on the line, the y coordinate is exactly image of the x coordinate, i.e. f(x)

The inequality is satisfied by all points whose y coordinate exceeds the image of the x coordinate. Since the y axis is positively oriented upwards, a greater value for the y coordinate means that the point has to be higher than the line.

Also, since the equality inlves a > and not a \geq sign, the line itself is excluded.

So, the correct graph is the second one.

BartSMP [9]

Let the maximum number of pages Jennifer can have be = x

Amount Jennifer has (P) = $62.10

Given equation is :

P = (20+0.5x)+0.15(20+0.5x)

Price is given = 62.10 , so equation is :

62.10=(20+0.5x)+0.15(20+0.5x)

62.10=20+0.5x+3+0.075x

62.10=23+0.575x

0.575x=39.10

x=68

Hence, Jennifer can have a maximum of 68 pages in her book.
