Answer:
Subtract 4 from each side
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 4 > -8
Subtract 4 from each side
x + 4-4 > -8-4
x>-12
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
No. In order to be proportional, y must change directly with x.
Looking at the first two pieces of data, let's find the ratio between x and y.
2/5 and 3/6. These should be equivalent of the table is proportional.
Answer:
4 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I subtracted the cost of the first pound from the final product (3.73 - 2.38) and I got 1.35. I then divided the 1.35 by .45 (the 45 cents) to figure out how many more pounds the package was from the initial 1 pounds. 1.35/.45 is 3, plus the 1 pound from the beginning makes 4 pounds in total.
I’m pretty sure this is right:
