So,
3/4=0.75
36/0.75=48
You need 48 paperclips to make it end to end.
The cost is:
48 x 0.02=0.96
The total cost is $0.96

Hope I helped!

Answer:

<em>You should buy the watch from Store A because it's cheaper</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Store A sells a watch for $50 with a 5% discount.

Let's calculate the sale price. The 5% discount is

5/100*$50 = $2.50

The sale price is $50 - $2.50 = $47.50

Now for Store B. The price of the watch was $60 with a 20% discount.

Calculate 20% of $60:

20/100*$60 = $12

The sale price is $60 - $12 = $48

Thus, you should buy the watch from Store A because it's cheaper

Graphing Exponential Functions In Exercise, sketch the graph of the function.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The graph of the function $f(x) = (1/2)^2x + 4$ is attached as image below.

Analysis:

We have two intersection points in the graph

The function $f(x) = (1/2)^2x + 4$ intersects the y-axis at points (0,4)

The function $f(x) = (1/2)^2x + 4$ intersects the x-axis at points (-16,0)

f(x) is positive for x>-`16

f(x) is negative for x<-`16
