Both Kurt and Maria are right, because 3585 will be rounded up to 3600 durning intermediate calculations and 21% of this amount can be approximated by either finding 10% of 3600 and multiplying the result by 2 or by finding \frac{1}{5} of 3600.

What is the result if you divide –12x8y8 by 3x4y2?
krok68 [10]
<span>When dividing two numbers with the same base but with different powers, you subtract the second power from the first and keep the base. So in our case, -12*x^8*y^8 / 3*x^4*y^2 = -4*x^4*y^6. The correct answer is d.</span>

Jessica wants to spend less than $50.00 per month on her cell phone bill. Write an inequality that shows how many text messages
xeze [42]

Missing part of question:

Jessica pays a flat rate of $20 for her cell phone and is charged $0.05 for every text she sends.

Answer:

20.00 + 0.05x < 50.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base Amount = $20

Rate = $0.05 per text

Budget = Less than $50.00

Required

Write an inequality that represents the scenario

Let x represents the number of texts

To solve this, the base amount when added to the amount paid for x text must be LESS THAN Jessica's budget.

Mathematically, we have:

Base Amount + Rate * x < Budget

Substitute values for Base Amount, Rate and Budget, this gives:.

20.00 + 0.05 * x < 50.00

20.00 + 0.05x < 50.00

Hence, the inequality that represents the scenario is 20.00 + 0.05x < 50.00

Solving further for x, we have:

20.00 + 0.05x < 50.00

Collect Like Terms

0.05x < 50.00 - 20.00

0.05x < 30.00

Solve for x

x < 30.00/0.05

x < 600

This means that she must send less than 600 text messages.
