Answer: C $1.51

To solve this, start with a proportion. Put the CPI numbers on the left and the apple juice prices on the right.

You will have:

82.4/130.7 = 0.95/x

Cross multiply to solve and you will get the price of the juice is $1.51.

Answer:

The cost of the gallon of the apple juice is approximately $1.51 in 1990. (Option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

As it can be assumed that the increase of the gallon of apple juice is proportional to the increase of the CPI, we can state that the rate of the price of 1990 to the price of 1980 is the same than the rate of the CPI in 1990 to the CPI in 1980:

$130.7 / $82.4 = Pg (1990)/ $0.95

Where Pg (1990) is the apple juice gallon cost for 1990. By solving the equation above:

$130.7 / $82.4 * $0.95 = Pg (1990)

Pg (1990) = $1.5068 ---> Pg (1990) = $1.51

Is there a relationship between the area and the perimeter of a rectangle
maksim [4K]
Well, an area and perimeter have formula's. The formula of area is length times width. The formula of perimeter is to basically length plus length plus width plus width. For instance, let's say the rectangles width is 5 and length is 6. So you do 5 plus 5 which is 10 and then 6 plus 6 which is 12. And then, 12 plus 10 equals 22. So the perimeter would be 22. If you were to find the area, you would do 6 times 5 and the area would be 30.
I hope this helps :)

Determine the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of y=−1/3x+3 .
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

x intercept

y = 0 \\ 0 =  \frac{1}{3} x + 3 \\  \frac{1}{3} x =  - 3 \\ x =  - 9

y intercept

x = 0 \\ y =  \frac{1}{3}  \times 0 + 3 \\ y = 3
