Answer: 14 tons
$3,860.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the amount of sugar transported.
First company:
The cost is $3157 truck rental plus $50.25 per ton of sugar.
Total cost = 3157 + 50.25x dollars
Second company:
There is no charge for truck rental, but it costs $275.75 per ton of sugar.
The total cost is
275.75x
When the two costs are the same, then
275.75x = 3157 +50.25x
225.5x = 3157
x = 14 tons
The total cost is 275.75*14 = $3,860.50
Answer:
10 pillowcases
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is -5, because y=y-y over x-x, so plug the coordinates in and you get -5 over 0, or -5
For this case we define the following variable:
- <em>x: number of stamps
</em>
We now write the equation that models the problem:
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
Answer:
The number of stamps he has is:
Perpendicular: slope is -3/2
Based on this I would already know the answer is A.
