Answer:
- yes
- no
Step-by-step explanation:
When a number of similar calculations are required, a spreadsheet can reduce the tedium.
1. The price is a constant $1.88 per pound, so is proportional to the weight.
_____
2. The price is not proportional to the number of toppings.
__
The cost of the pizza is $8.99 plus $1.50 per topping. The base cost being non-zero ensures that the overall cost is not proportional to the number of toppings.
Answer:
3:1
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the fraction and simplify it:
12/4 = 3/1
Answer:
41.
Step-by-step explanation:
The range = highest - lowest value
= 65 - 24
= 41.
The order you apply the adjustments does make a difference because the percents that are applied will be applied to different amount.
For example, 80% of 100 = $80. The price would be $180.
Decreasing this by 25% 25% of 180 = $45; 180-45 = $135.
25% of 100 is not the same as 25% of 180.
Brother one: x
Brother two: x + 15
---
Make them add up to 55 in an equation.
x + (x + 15) = 55
Combine like terms.
2x + 15 = 55
Subtract 15 from both sides.
2x = 40
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 20
Plug 20 for x into brother two.
(20) + 15 = 35
Brother one has saved $20, brother two has saved $35.
