You are given Maggie's planning on going to Penn State University. You are also given that she could live there if she has more than $2,000 if she already bought a laptop at $450.
For part A, the inequality that we can form is x ≥ 2,450 because she needs more than $2,000 to survive after buying a $450 dollar worth laptop. Adding the two makes it 2,450.
For part B, if she has to withdraw $30 per week, then the inequality that we can form is x ≥ 2,450 - 30
For part C,
30x ≥ 2,000
x ≥ 66.67
For part D, the answer 66.67 means that Maggie can have 66 times to withdraw $30 per week worth of food from her balance $2000.
Answer:
The rule which allows us to change the sign of an exponent is called the <u>negative exponent</u> rule.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
The negative exponent rule is the rule which allows to change the sign of an exponent.
According to negative exponent rule: A negative exponents in the numerator moved to the denominator and become positive exponents.
If A negative exponents in the denominator moved to the numerator and become positive exponents.
Hence, the required statement is: The rule which allows us to change the sign of an exponent is called the <u>negative exponent</u> rule.
Apples went up 0.75 a lb
p is the start price so new price is p + 0.75
we buy 3 lbs
3 ( p+ 0.75) = 5.88
now solve
3p + 2.25 = 5.88
-2.25 -2.25
3p = 3.63
/3 /3
p = 1.21 a lb
In other words, you know that 50 percent of a number is 34 and you want to know what that initial number is.
To solve this problem you multiply 34 by 100 and then divide the total by 50 as follows:
(34 x 100) / 50
When we put that into our calculator, we get the following answer:
68
