Answer: 278.30 pounds (if the gasoline does not contain ethanol)
317.12 pounds (if the gasoline does contain ethanol)
Step-by-step explanation:
If the truck averages 12 miles per gallon, then in 170 miles it consumes:
170mi/12mi = 14.17 gallons.
We know that for one gallon consumed, the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is 19.64 pounds. (assuming it does not contain ethanol)
Then for 14.17 gallons consumed, we have a emission of:
14.17*19.64 pounds = 278.30 pounds
I the gasoline contains ethanlol, for a gallon the emiision is around 22.38 pounds.
In this case the total emission is:
14.17*22.38 pounds = 317.12 pounds
Answer: You get to keep 1,673.24
You pay 272.38 in taxes.
From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75
Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88
so we form an equation:
3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88
3x + 2.25 = 5.88
3x = 5.88 - 2.25
3x = 3.63
x = 3.63 / 3
x = 1.21
Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars
Realize that since 2x and 3x - 1 are equal to each other, they are also equal to y. This means that we can craft two equations, y = 2x and y = 3x - 1.
When you want to solve a systems of equations via a graph, you need to plot both equations on a graph and determine the x- and y-value of where the lines intersect. In this case, we would plot both y = 2x and y = 3x - 1. These lines intersect at the point (1, 2).
Since we are trying to find the day the bullfrog will be able to eat the entire population, or x, we are going to use the x-value of our point as our answer. Thus, our answer is 1 day.
