Answer:

$1.59 per lb

Step-by-step explanation:

What is a "unit price" depends on the unit of interest. Unit price tags on the shelf in a store are supposed to aid a shopper in determining the best value. In the situation described here. possible unit prices are ...

cost per bag

cost per pound

Obviously, the cost per bag is ...

($12.73)/(1 bag) = $12.73 per bag

The cost per pound will be ...

($12.73)/(8 lb) = $1.59125 /lb ≈ $1.59 per lb

PLEASE HELP!! What is the value of x?

To find x, first we'll split the triangle in two right triangles.

The first triangle will be the one with sides (8,x+4,y) and the second triangle will be the one with sides (12,2x+1,y).

As you can see, these two triangles share the side 'y'.

To solve we'll do the following; first solve for 'y' by applying the Pythagorean theorem in the second triangle, and finally solve for 'x' applying Pythagorean theorem in the first triangle.

From the second triangle (12,2x+1,y) we solve for 'y' by writing:
$y^{2}=12^{2}- (2x+1)^{2}=144-4 x^{2} -4x-1=$

Now that we know 'y^2' we apply Pythagorean Theorem in the first triangle (8,x+4,y)
$8^{2}= (x+4)^{2}+ y^{2}= (x^{2}+8x+16)+(143-4 x^{2} -4x)$
$64=159-3 x^{2} +4x$

Now you solve the quadratic equation, you'll get a positive and negative value; as this are lengths, you take the positive and get:

$x= \frac{19}{3}$
