Aneli [31]

Answer:

12.95x + 4.95 \leq 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent number of DVDs with x

Each\ DVD = \$12.95

Handling\ Fee = \$4.95

Budget = \$75 (at most)

Required

Represent as an inequality

If Each\ DVD = \$12.95

x DVD would cost:

x\ DVDs = 12.95 * x

x\ DVDs = 12.95x

So, to make an order of x DVDs, Deacon will pay for

x DVDs and Handling Fee

So:

Payments = 12.95x + 4.95

Recall that his budget is at most $75

This implies that: \leq 75

So, the relationship between his payment and budget is:

12.95x + 4.95 \leq 75

predicted value=261
actual value=293
subsitute
percent error=|\frac{261-293}{261}| times 100
so using pemdas
do parenthasees first
|\frac{-32}{261}|
|-0.12|
absolute value
0.1226

time 100
0.1226 times 100=12.26
answer is 12.26%
