18 + 9x = 49
with the use of an equation you can easily find out if 6 weeks of saving up is enough to get the rabbit.
18 + 9(6) 
49
9 x 6 = 54
54 + 18 = 72
you could have enough money in 4 weeks
Answer:
$10.88 or round up to $11
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 15 is expressed as a percent, you can convert it to a decimal.
.15, which can also be 15/100 if you were to write it as a fraction.
You are trying to find 15% of 72.50 so you would need to multiply your new decimal (.15) to your meal total. This will give you 10.875 or 10.88.
One of your friends gives you $10 for a charity walkathon -- this is your beginning amount.
Another friend gives you an amount per mile -- you will to calculate this value.
After 5 miles, you have raised $13.50 total --
-- Since one friend gave you $10.00, subtract this from the $13.50 to give you the amount by walking the 5 miles
-- $10.00 - $13.50 = $3.50
-- Since you walked 5 miles, divide $3.50 by 5 to give you $0.70 per mile earned.
So, an equation that represents the amount of money earned is: y = $0.70x+$10.00.
This is in slope-intercept form; the slope is $0.70 and represents the amount of money earned per mile and the intercept is $10.00 and represents the initial amount of money that you were given.
The answer to your question is 37.5.
