Bella bought 3 bags of popcorn for $8.25 and 2 sodas for $4.40 at the movies last week. Last month, Bella was at the movies with

her friends and bought 3 bags of popcorn for $7.50 and 2 sodas for $3.80. What was the percent increase?

Answer:

bags of popcorn = 10%

sodas = 15.78%

overall increase was 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We must calculate the unit price of each product, before and after.

Before:

bags of popcorn = 7.50 / 3 = 2.5

sodas = 3.80 / 2 = 1.9

Then:

bags of popcorn = 8.25 / 3 = 2.75

sodas = 4.40 / 2 = 2.2

Now, we calculate for each:

bags of popcorn = 2.75 / 2.5 = 1.1

which means that the increase was 10%

sodas = 2.2 / 1.9 = 1.1578

Which means that the increase was 15.78%

If we calculate the percentage of total increase it would be:

(2.75 + 2.2) / (2.5 + 1.9) = 1,125

Therefore the overall increase was 12.5%

aliina [53]

5x+7y=25

5x-2y=-65

subtract both of the equations

5x-5x=0

7y--2y= 7y+2y=9y

25--65=25+65=90

0+9y=90

9y=90

divide both sides by 9 to get y by itself

9y/9=90/9

cross out 9 and 9 which becomes 1*1*y=y

90/9=10

y=10

find x by using the substitution method

5x+7y=25

5x+7(10)=25

5x+70=25

move +70 to the other side

sign changes from +70 to -70

5x+70-70=25-70

5x=-45

divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself

5x/5=-45/5

cross out 5 and 5 then becomes 1*1*x=x

-45/5=-9

x=-9

answer:

(-9,10)

MrRissso [65]

The answers will be:

  1. (4, 5)
  2. remain constant and increase
  3. g(x) exceeds the value of f(x)

<h3>What is Slope and curve?</h3>

a) The slope of the curve g(x) roughly matches that of f(x) at about x=4. Above that point, the curve g(x) is steeper than f(x), so its average rate of change will exceed that of f(x). An appropriate choice of interval is (4, 5).

b) As x increases, the slope of f(x) remains constant (equal to 4). The slope of g(x) keeps increasing as x increases. An appropriate choice of rate of change descriptors is (remain constant and increase).

c) The curves are not shown in the problem statement for x = 8. The graph below shows that g(x) has already exceeded f(x) by x=7. It remains higher than f(x) for all values of x more than that. We can also evaluate the functions to see which is greater:

 f(8) = 4·8 +3 = 35

 g(8) = (5/3)^8 ≈ 59.54 . . . . this is greater than 35

 g(8) > f(8)

d) Realizing that an exponential function with a base greater than 1 will have increasing slope throughout its domain, it seems reasonable to speculate that it will always eventually exceed any linear function (or any polynomial function, for that matter).
