The problem is actually already factored for you. They are asking you to just set the equation to zero. Find the zeros.
Answer:
1. C) .4
2. B) 2 1/4
3. D) 3 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The question is asking what fraction (represented in decimal form) did Maria spend. To find this, divide 18/45 because Maria spent $18 of her $45. When you complete this calculation, you get .4
2. When you look at where the line ends, it's at the first quarter line after the 2, meaning that the line is 2 and one quarter or 2 1/4
3. 8 times 3 is 24, which is the closest multiple of 8 to 29. However, since there is still 5 left over (which still needs to be divided by 8) it would be represented by the mxed fraction.
Answer:
The cost increase for each square of carpet by 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is

It is a slope intercept form of the line

Where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.
Therefore the slope of given function is 12 and the y-intercept is 50.
It means the initial ot fixed cost of the carpet is 50 and the cost increased by 12 for each square of carpet.
You get 158.667 yards of yarn
Explanation-You dived the length value by 3 since 3 feet = 1 yard
X= sales tax %
Step 1:
$240 * sales tax %= $12
240 * x= 12
240x=12
Divide both sides by 240
x= 0.05 (decimal of the %)
Convert to %:
Multiply decimal by 100 (or move decimal to the right two decimal places
=0.05 x 100
=5 %
The sales tax is 5%.
Hope this helps! :)
