Answer: First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces of candy = 252

Number of ounces jar is it = 14

We need to find the number of pieces of candy should be there in the jar per ounce.

So, it becomes

Number of pieces of candy per ounce is given by

$\dfrac{\text{Number of pieces of candy}}{\text{Quantity of jar}}\\\\=\dfrac{252}{14}\\\\=18$

Hence, there are 18 pieces of candy per ounce in the jar.

Therefore, First option is correct.

"Per" essentially means "divided by." To find pieces per ounce, divide pieces by ounces.

(252 pieces)/(14 ounces) = (252/14) pieces/ounce = 18 pieces/ounce

A bakery has the following pricing for large orders of cupcakes. The first 100 cupcakes of any order

A piecewise function is a function that behaves differently in different intervals of its domain.

The answers are:

f(x) = x*$2.00 if 0 ≤ x ≤ 100

f(x) = x*$1.75 if 100 < x ≤ 250

f(x) = x*$1.25 if x > 250.

b) $306.25

The given information is:

The first 100 cupcakes cost $2.00 each.

If the order is between 100 and 250 cupcakes, the cost is $1.75 each.

If the order is more than 250 cupcakes, the cost is $1.25 each.

a) Now we want to write the piecewise function, this will be:

f(x) = x*$2.00 if 0 ≤ x ≤ 100

f(x) = x*$1.75 if 100 < x ≤ 250

f(x) = x*$1.25 if x > 250.

Above you can see the piecewise function, when you want to evaluate it, the first thing you need to do is to find at which interval the input belongs.

b) If you order 175 cupcakes you have x = 175.

This belongs to the second interval ( 100 < x ≤ 250) then we will use the second part of the function:

f(175) = 175*$1.75 = $306.25

a clerk is paid $45.25 per hours for 40 hours a week, 1.50 times the regular rate of overtime and double the rate for a holiday.

KonstantinChe [14]

Given :

A clerk is paid $45.25 per hours for 40 hours a week, 1.50 times the regular rate of overtime and double the rate for a holiday.

To Find :

How much does the clerk get if he works overtime for 5 hours and 2 hours on holidays.

Solution :

Amount from regular job = $ 45.25 × 40 = $1810 .

Amount from overtime = $ (45.25×1.5) × 5 = $339.375 .

Amount from holiday = $ (45.25×2) × 5 = $452.5 .

Total amount clerk will get is :

T = $( 1810 + 339.375 + 452.5 )

T = $2601.875

Hence, this is the required solution.
