If five mechanical pencils cost #4.27.

we need to find the scale factor used to calculate the cost of 54 pencils

We are given with 5 pencils

We need to find the scale factor for 54 pencils

we need to find out what multiply with 5 to get 54

For that we divide 54 by 5

\frac{54}{5} = 10.8

so scale factor is 10.8

5 times 10.8 = 54

We multiply the scale factor 10.8 by cost of 5 pencils to find the cost of 54 pencils

10.8 * 4.27 = 46.116 = $46.12

the scale factor 10.8 is used to calculate the cost of 54 pencils

Mathswatch Question! Mr Powers checks his electricity bill. Here are his meter readings. New reading: 6538 units, Old reading: 6
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Cost = 284 x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Old = 6245\ units

New = 6538\ units

Required

The cost of units used

First, calculate the number of units used.

Units = New - Old

Units = 6538 - 6254

Units = 284

Next, multiply the units used by the cost per units,

Since the cost per unit is not given, we assume that it is x.

So, the total cost is:

Cost = Units * Cost\ per\ units

Cost = 284 * x

Cost = 284 x

LaShaundra is buying fence for two triangular sections of her garden.
mixas84 [53]

Answer: 80 feet.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. As you can see in the figure, triangle ABC and the triangle DFG are similar.

2. The scale of factor of triangle ABC to triangle DFG is the following:

sf=\frac{20ft}{4ft}\\sf=5ft

3. Therefore, the lenght of the side DG of the trinagle DFG is:

DG=5*AC\\DG=5*7ft\\DG=35ft

4. The perimeter of the triangle DFG is:

P_{DFG}=20ft+25ft+35ft=80ft

5. Therefore, she would need 80 feet of fence.

Alana earnerd money doing chores. Her grandmother agreed to add $4.00 to the amount Alana earned and then give her half of that
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Hence amount of Alana's donation is $4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of Alana's donation = x

Her grandmother agreed to add $4.00 to the amount Alana earned.

So new amount of money = (x+4)

She gives only half of the sum which is (x+4)/2.

She gave her $4.25 so both values must be equal.

\frac{\left(x+4\right)}{2}=4.25

x+4=4.25*2

x+4=8.5

x=8.5-4

x=4.5

Hence amount of Alana's donation is $4.5.
