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

Question 4:

OOOOOHHH a breakthrough! I was confused when I read this question but now I get it!

Okay when dividing this equation I would do this

5^4

25

Since 25 is 5 x 5 I would mark it as 5^2, and then I can subtract!

5^4

5^2 =

5^2

If you do it like this then it would be the first choice.
