The 5-pound bag is better value.

The easiest way to compare and find out which is a better buy is to find out how much is being charged for 1-pound of food in each bag.

$12 is divided by 3 beacuse it's a 3-pound bag and we are aiming to find what 1-pound is equal to.

$12 ÷ 3 = $4

So the first bag charges $4 per pound of food.

Then use the same method for the 5-pound bag.

$14.25 ÷ 5 = $2.85

So the second charges $2.85 per pound of food.

So as we can see, the 5-pound bag is clearly better value. For each pound of food you are saving $1.15 in comparison to what you would be spending if you opted for the first bag.

Hope this helps!

An angle measures 111.4° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
fomenos

The measure of the supplementary angles are 34.3 and 145.7 degrees.

<h3>What are supplementary angles?</h3>

Supplementary angles are those angles that sum up to 180 degrees.

In other words, two angles are Supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees.

Therefore, the angles measures 111.4° more than the measure of it's supplementary angle.

Hence,

let

x = measure of the other angle

x + x + 111.4 = 180

2x + 111.4 = 180

subtract 111.4 from both sides

2x + 111.4 - 111.4 = 180 - 111.4

2x = 68.6

divide both sides by 2

x = 68.6 / 2

x = 34.3

Other angle  = 34.3 + 111.4 = 145.7°

Therefore, the measure of the supplementary angles are 34.3 and 145.7 degrees.

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of ;

h circle h(10)

This mean we are to put h in h, the find the function of 10

we have this as;

6-(6-x)

= 6-6 + x = x

Now, replace the x by 10; so we have h circle h(10)
