A
It should be the 90 pack container. You should see the difference in buying that as opposed to the 2 smaller containers. Usually stores make you think that way, but sometimes they pull a fast one and make the lower content container the better buy. You should ALWAYS shop with a calculator. I'll give you an example. Suppose the packs are listed as below
Number packs Price Unit Price
30 pack 8.99 30 cents rounded
60 pack 17.00 28.33
90 pack 23.00 25.55
This one worked as it should. It's fair to the consumer and it's actually fair to the merchant and the manufacturer.
B
The answer to B is what I actually did to get the answers for A
20 5.49
Unit Cost = Total Cost divided by number in the container.
Unit Cost = 5.49/20 = 0.2745 dollars or 27 cents.
C
Done the same way as B
Unit Cost = 10.97/ 60 = 0.1828 dollars which rounds to 28 cents.
D
Unit Cost = 18.95/90 = .211 dollars = 21 cents. This is an example of when the merchant is trying to persuade you to buy something that is not the best buy. And they do that.
E
I will let you answer this yourself. Education is meant to make you wise in what you do. This question is something you should become familiar with. Don't just buy something. Unit cost it. It takes longer but you are saving money and you'd be surprised what you save at the end of a year.
C. You'd be starting at a higher floor (positive number) and descending floors (negative number per x). If you assume x is time it's a little more logical and visual.
Answer:
39 touchdowns and 13 fieldgoals
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t= touchdowns
f = fieldgoals
They scored 35 times
t+f = 35
Touchdown is 7 pts and fieldgoal is 3 pt
7t+3f = 193
Multiply the first equation by-7
-7t -7f =-245
Add this to the second equation
-7t -7f =-245
7t+3f = 193
----------------------
-4f =-52
Divide by -4
-4f/-4 = -52/-4
f = 13
Now we can find t
t+f = 35
t+13 = 52
Subtract 13 from each side
t+13-13 =52-13
t =39
Well you have cut it into smaller pieces so it would be I guess 4 grams now because 20 divided by 5 is 4.
