Answer:

Let's denote:

Number or gifts cost 20 = x

Number or gifts cost 22.5 = y

Then, we have:

x + y = 10

20x + 22.5y = 217.5

=> 20(10 - y) + 22.5y = 217.5

=> 2.5y = 17.5

=> y = 7 (Number or gifts cost 22.5)

=> x = 10 - 7 = 3 (Number or gifts cost 20)

Hope this helps!

:)

Questions 16-17. Suppose a tortoise is 1000 feet from the ocean. Each day the tortoise travels three-fifths of the remaining dis
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

  r(n) = 1000·(2/5)^n

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tortoise travels 3/5 the remaining distance, the remaining distance at the end of the day is 2/5 of what it was at the beginning of the day. So, the function can be modeled by an exponential with a "growth" factor of 2/5:

  r(n) = 1000·(2/5)^n

where r(n) is the number of remaining feet after n days of travel.

Help please I will really love that
Vsevolod [243]

If there's only 1 table, then you need 5 roses total (5*1 = 5)

If there are 2 tables, then you need 10 roses total (5*2 = 10)

If there are 3 tables, then you need 15 roses total (5*3 = 15)

If there are 4 tables, then you need 20 roses total (5*4 = 20)

At this point, you probably see the pattern: you multiply 5 by the number of tables to get the total number of roses. So it would look like this equation

(number of roses) = 5*(number of tables)

r = 5*x

where r is standing in for "number of roses" as shorthand; also, x is standing in for "number of tables".

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Answer: r = 5x (lower right corner choice)

Note that 5*x is the same as 5x (both of which mean "5 times x)

In the group of 4 friends, each gets 3/4 quart.

The friends in the first group get a greater amount of blueberries. Reasoning: 4/3 > 3/4.
