653
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
she has saved $5 in the last 9 days because she has saved 500 cents the last 9 days there are 100 cents in a dollar which means she has to save $5
well, the regular cost of the TV is 600 bucks, that includes taxes already, so is just 600 flat.
the payment plan makes Cayden pay 225 first, leaving 375 for periodic payments for 6 months, each payment of 74.50.
well, 74.5*6 = 447, so Cayden is paying 225 + 447 = 672, so the increase is 72 bucks.
If we take 600 to be the 100%, how much is 72 off of it in percentage?

#5 is very nicely and correctly done.
#7 says: "No matter what X may be, this function of it is always 9 more than 1/2 of X .".
That's a very powerful statement. Now you know that if X is ever 2, the function will be 1/2(2)+9 which is 10.
If X is ever zero, the function will be 1/2(0)+9 which is 9. If X is ever a cow, the function will be 1/2 of a cow, plus the number 9. Which makes no sense, but that's what the function says.
So, when X is -8, the function is 1/2 of -8, plus 9. Which is 5 ... the 'f' of -8.
Whatever X happens to be at the moment, just write that number in place of X in the function, and it'll show you the function of what X is.
f(a bazillion) = 1/2(a bazillion) + 9 .
f(a-28) = 1/2(a-28) + 9 (but simplify it)
