Answer:

Option A) Combined, with a saving of x-y cents      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The rate to mail a package is x cents for first pound and y cents for each additional pound.

x>y

Weights of packages =

3 pounds and 5 pounds

Cost of combined package:

Total weight = 8 pounds

C\text{(combined)} = x + 7y

Cost of sending separately:

C\text{(separated)} = (x + 2y) + (x + 4y) = 2x + 6y

Difference between cost of sending the packages separately and combined

C\text{(separated)}-C\text{(combined)} \\=2x + 6y-(x+7y)\\=(x-y)\text{ cents}

Thus, sending the packages combined is a cheaper method with a saving of (x-y) cents

Thus, the correct answer is:

Option A) Combined, with a saving of (x-y) cents

Karolina [17]
The answer is 4.5 hours.
 
120 miles/2 hours = 60 mph
270-120 = 150 miles

Answer:

71 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Paper 1 :

65% of 120 = 0.65 X 120 = 78

Paper 2 :

80% of 80 = 0.8 X 80 = 64

Total Percentage:

Add the two scores 78 + 64 = 142

Add the what it was out of 120 + 80 = 200

Use (Score / Total marks available) X 100

(142 / 200) X 100 = 71
