Truncating a number.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<u>Truncating a number--</u>

It the method of approximating a decimal number such that we cut the number without rounding off the last digit i.e. the digit upto which the number is to be obtained.

for example--

If we have a number as:

36.2245678

and we have to round it off to 4 decimal places then the resulting number is:

(FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!!) A student earned $2500.75 at his summer job making $12.50 per hour. Let h represent

laiz [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

$12.50 \space\ h = 2500.75$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know from the question that the student earned $12.50 <em>per hour</em>.

Using this information, we can say that if the student worked for <em>h </em>hours, they would make a total of 12.50 × <em>h </em>dollars.

We also know that the total money they earned is $2500.75.

∴ Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

$\boxed {12.50 \times h = 2500.75}$

From here, if we want to, we can find the number of hours worked by simply making <em>h</em> the subject of the equation and evaluating:

<em>h </em>=<em> </em> $\frac{2500.75}{12.50}$

= 200.6 hours

If postage costs $.54 for the first ounce and $.22 for the each additional ounce, calculate the cost of mailing a 10- ounce enve

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Hence, the total cost of mailing 10 ounces is:

$ 2.52

Step-by-step explanation:

If postage costs $.54 for the first ounce and $.22 for the each additional ounce.

i.e. cost of first ounce=$ 0.54.

Now let x denote the number of ounces after the first ounce,

Hence, the cost of x ounces=$ (0.22×x)=$ 0.22 x

Hence, the cost of mailing (x+1) ounces is: $ (0.54+0.22 x)

Now, we have to find the cost of mailing a 10- ounce envelope.

i.e. after the first ounce we need 9 more ounces.

Hence, the total cost of mailing is calculated as:

$=$ (0.54+0.22\times 9)\\\\=$ (0.54+1.98)\\\\=$ 2.52\\$

Hence, cost of mailing 10 ounces is:

$ 2.52

Benjamin decides to treat himself to breakfast at his favorite restaurant. He orders chocolate milk that costs $3.25Then, he wan

stepan [7]

Answer:

is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question statement:

Cost of Chocolate milk which is ordered already = $3.25.

Benjamin want his bill to be at most = $30

Each stack of pancakes contains 4 pancakes.

Each stack of pancake costs= $5.50

Given that S represents the number of stacks of pancakes bought.

We have, Cost of 1 pancake = $5.50

Now, let us calculate the cost of the number of stacks of pancakes bought.

$\text{Cost of one stack of pancakes}\times \text{Number of stacks of pancakes bought}$

i.e.

$5.50S$

So, total bill = Cost of chocolate milk shake + Money spent on stacks of pancakes = $\$3.25+5.50S$

Now, this money should be lesser than or equal to $30 because maximum bill that Benjamin wants is $30.

So, the inequality can be written as:

$\bold{3.25+5.50S \le 30}$

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all

muminat

Answer:

y = 3/4 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

you must put the equation into the form of y = mx + b

add 6x to both sides and put it in front of the 56

8y = 6x + 56

y must be by itself by x does not so we divide everything by 8

y = 6/8x + 7

we must simplify the fraction 6/8

y = 3/4x + 7

A pharmacist has 18% bleach solution. How much of this solution and how much water must be mixed together to make 10 liters of a

kkurt [141]

X = the amount of water to add
10 - x = amount of 18% bleach to add

.18(10-x)= .12 x 10
1.8 -.18x =1.2
-.18x = -.6
x = 3 1/3 liters water
therefore 6 2/3 liters bleach
