Answer:

Pat a) The unit rate of graph at left is $25\ \frac{grams}{cup}$

Part b) The unit rate of graph at right is $40\ \frac{grams}{cup}$

see the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The unit rate of a linear equation is the same that the slope of the linear equation

step 1

Find the slope of the graph at left

This graph represent a proportional relationship (because the line passes through the origin)

The slope is equal to the constant of proportionality k

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

we have the point (1,25)

substitute the values in the formula

$k=\frac{25}{1}=25\ \frac{grams}{cup}$

step 2

Find the slope of the graph at right

we have the points (2,80) and (3,120)

This graph represent a proportional relationship (because the line passes through the origin)

The slope is equal to the constant of proportionality k

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

Is necessary only one point to determine the constant of proportionality

take the point (2,80)

substitute the values

$k=\frac{80}{2}=40\ \frac{grams}{cup}$

Verify

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have the points (2,80) and (3,120)

substitute the values

$m=\frac{120-80}{3-2}$

$m=\frac{140}{1}=40\ \frac{grams}{cup}$

The price of a mango at a fruit stand goes up 5 cents each month. The first month the stand was open, a mango cost $1.25. What w

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$2.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of months.

We have been given that price of a mango at a fruit stand goes up 5 cents each month. This means that price of mango in dollars after x months will be 0.05x (1 dollar=100 cents).

The first month the stand was open, a mango cost $1.25. This means that cost of mango in the x months after 1st month will be: $1.25+0.05x$

Now let find the cost of mango in the 25 month by substituting x=24 in our expression because price will increase 24 times after 1st month.

$\text{The cost of a mango be in the 25th month}=1.25+0.05*24$

$\text{The cost of a mango be in the 25th month}=1.25+1.2$

$\text{The cost of a mango be in the 25th month}=2.45$

Therefore, the cost of a mango in the 25th month will be $2.45.

Coral buys a house for £234 900 she pays a 10% deposit. Work out the amount of deposit paid by Carol.

Pavel [41]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Given:

Total amount of the house = £234,900

Find:

Amount of deposit paid = ?

So first, we divide the total amount of the house by the percent of deposit that Carol paid.

= £234,900 / 10%

= £23,490

Another way to solve this is by converting the percent of the deposit into a decimal. We do this by dividing the percentage amount by 100.

= 10% / 100%

= 0.1

Next, we multiply the decimal equivalent of the percentage to the total amount of the house.

= £234,900 * 0.1

= £23,490

So, the amount of deposit that was paid by Carol is £23,490.
