If a 16-ounce box of candy costs $8.95, how much does one ounce cost? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

The first step would be to create an equation for this problem. You would divide the cost per ounce by the number of ounces.
$8.95 ÷ 16 = ?

Now, all you would have to do it solve it.
$8.95 ÷ 16 = $0.559375

The last step would be to round to the nearest cent.
$0.559375 = $0.56

A box of candy cost $0.56 per ounce.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

x + y > 15

10x + 5y < 100

we will put it in terms of y

y > 15 - x

and

5y < 100 - 10x

y < 20 - 2x

Y=2x+1

yan [13]

Answer:

(1) 2 (2) (-1/2,0) (3) (0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is the number times x. This equation is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, m is 2, so we have our slope. The y-intercept is easy, as we already know it to be (0,1). The x-intercept is the point where the line hits x when y=0. To solve for the x-intercept, we set y to 0 and solve. We have 0=2x+1. First, we subtract 1 from both sides and get -1=2x. Next, to get x by itself, divide both sides by 2. Now we have -1/2=x. Now we have our x coordinate for our x-intercept. Because of this, we get (-1/2,0) as our x-intercept.

Answer:

X = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide 5 by 3 to find the scale factor:

5/3 = 1.667

Now, multiply 4.5 by 1.667 to find x:

x = (4.5)(1.667)

x = 7.5
