You would multiply 50x16 being 16 ounces= 1 pound and than divide that by 10

A certain car rental location charges a daily fee as well as a mileage charge. On one trip a businessman rented a car for the da

Answer:

x\approx 267\ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

Some events can be modeled as linear functions. If we are in a situation where a linear model is suitable, then we need two sample points to make the model and predict unknown behaviors.

The linear function can be expressed in the slope-intercept format:

f(x)=mx+b

For the problem at hand, we must pick the adequate variables according to the data provided.

The question states the charge for renting a car is a function of the mileage. It also provides two points from which we can build our model. Let's set the following variables:

c = the charge for renting a car in dollars

x = the distance driven by the businessman in miles

Representing the ordered pair as (x,c), we have the points: (150,79) and (65,63.70). Our model will be expressed as:

c = mx+b

We must find the values of m and b with the data provided. Substituting the first point:

79 = 150m+b

Substituting the second point:

63.70 = 65m+b

Both equations form the following system:

\left\{\begin{matrix}150m+b=79\\ 65m+b=63.70 \end{matrix}\right.

Subtracting both equations:

150m-65m=79-63.70

Note the variable b was canceled out in the operation, leaving only the variable m to solve. Joining like terms:

85m=15.3

Solving:

m=15.3/85=0.18

From the first equation

79 = 150m+b

Solving for b:

b=79-150m=79-150(0.18) = 52.

The model for the problem is:

c=0.18x+52

Now we need to calculate how many miles (x) could be driven for c=$100. From the equation above, substitute c=100

100=0.18x+52

Solve for x:

0.18x+52=100

0.18x=100-52=48

x=48/0.18=266.67

Rounding to the closest integer:

\boxed{x\approx 267\ miles}

What % of 60 is 35?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

58.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

  is            %

--------  =  ---------

  of           100

Just plug in the numbers based on what it tells you.

What % = goes in the % spot

of 60 = goes in the of spot

is 35 = goes in the is spot

  35          x

--------- = ---------

  60         100

Cross multiply:

60 * x = 60x        35 * 100 = 3500

60x = 3500

Divide by 60 to get x by itself.

3500 / 60 = 58.33

Put the percent sign after it:

58.33%

I hope this helps.

Moesha has 196 pepper plants that she wants to plant in square formation. How many peppers plants should she plant in each row?
miss Akunina [59]

Hey there!!

In order to solve this question, we take the area as 196 as these are the total number of plants to cover a specific place.

The formation must be in a square formation

area of a square = ( s ) ²

s = side

or the number of plants in a row

s² = 196

s = √196

s = 14

There are 14 plants in each row

Hope my answer helps!
