Given:
Week 1 : - 40
Week 2 : - 56
Week 3 : 105
Week 4 : 70
Week 5 : 140
Week 6 : ?
At the end of the 6th week, net profit is 252.
Profit = 105 + 70 + 140 = 315
Loss = 40 + 56 = 96
Net Profit = 315 - 96 = 219
252 - 219 = 33 Profit on Week 6.
Average profit : 252 / 6 = 42 per week
The equation of the line is y=2/3x + 0
Explanation: The y intercept (where the line crosses the y axis) is 0, and the slope is 2/3 (up two and 3 to the right)
70 / 35 = 2
So the 70 pound dog weights double the weight of the 35 pound dog, so he will eat twice as much.
2 x 2.5 = 5 cups
Meaning he will eat 5 cups of dry dog food a day.
By the same logic a 140 pound dog would have to eat twice what a 70 pound dog eats, that is 10 cups of dry dog food a day, so 7 1/2 cups are not enough.
Challenge: per pound a dog eats more than a cat. Since you know a 140 pound dog eats 10 cups, you can dive 140 by 10, to find out that each cup feeds 14 pounds, so half a cup would be the amount of food to feed a 7 pound dog, meaning that a dog weighing 1 pound less than a 8 pound cat would need the same amount of food, so it eats more than a cat.
They are different equations lol. If you plug in the same x and y for both you wont get the same answer. Do you have answer choices?
The equation is 4 meatballs for every adult and 3 for every child. Replace a and c and solve:
M = 4(20) + 2(8)
M = 80 + 16
M = 96
They need 96 meatballs.
