A 3- pack of boxes of juice costs $1.12. A 12-pack of boxes costs $4.38. A case of 24 boxes costs$8.68.Which is the best buy?

First, you divide the price by the amount of units in the pack. This is how you find how much one unit is worth in that pack. So for the first pack you divide 1.12 by three, and then you have .37333 repeating, which is about 38 cents. Next is the second pack, where we divide 4.38 by 12 which is .365, which is about 37 cents. The last pack is 8.68 divided by 24 which is .361, or about 36 cents. This means that the 24 pack is the best buy.
In real life you should also consider which would be too much for you or not enough. For example, you might not even need 24 units of juice. You might only need 12 so you don't have too much extra. But hey, this is just a math problem ;)

What is the answer to this problem -2x – 4 < 3x + 21

horsena [70]

Start with

$-2x-4 < 3x+21$

Add 2x to both sides:

$-4 < 5x+21$

Subtract 21 from both sides:

$-25 < 5x$

Divide both sides by 5. Since it is positive, we don't have to change the inequality sign:

$-5 < x$

So, the answer is $x > -5$

12, 9, 15, 19, 20, 15<br><br> Mean <br><br> Median <br><br> Mode

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Mean: 15

Median: 15

Mode: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Definitions:</h2>

<u>Mean</u>: It represents the average value of a given data set. The formula for finding the mean of a given set of numbers by taking the quotient of all numbers and the number of values. In other words:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Mean\:=\:\frac{Sum\:of \:all\: values}{Number\:of\:values \:in\: a \:given \:data\:set}}$

<u>Median:</u> It represents the middle value in a given set of numbers. In order to determine the median, it is essential to arrange the given data either in <em>ascending</em> or <em>descending</em> order (although it is customary to arrange the numbers into ascending order).

If there is an odd number of values in a given set, then the <u>middle number</u> is the median of that set.

If a given list comprises of an even number of items, then we must take the <em>average</em> of the two middle numbers.

<u>Mode</u>: It represents the number that <u>occurs most often</u> on a list of items or data.

<h2>Solution:</h2><h3><u>Find the Mean:</u></h3>

Using the formula provided in the previous section for finding the mean:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Mean\:=\:\frac{Sum\:of \:all\: values}{Number\:of\:values \:in\: a \:given \:data\:set}}$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Mean\:=\:\frac{12+9+15+19+20+15}{6}\:=\:\frac{90}{6}\:=\:15}$

<h3><u>Find the Median:</u></h3>

Arrange the given data set in <u><em>ascending order</em></u>:

12, 9, 15, 19, 20, 15 ⇒ 9, 12, <u>15</u>, <u>15</u>, 19, 20

Next, since there is an even number of items on our given data set, we must <u>take the average of the</u><u> two middle numbers</u> (which are 15 and 15):

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Median\:=\:\frac{15+15}{2}\:=\:\frac{30}{2}\:=\:15}$

Therefore, the median is 15.

As described in the previous section of this post, the mode is the number that occurs most often on our given data. The only repeating number on our list is 15, hence it is the mode.

Therefore, the <em>mean</em>, <em>median</em>, and <em>mode</em> of the given data set is <u>15</u>.
