STEP 1:
BAGS OF FOUR
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples

= 74 ÷ 4 apples/bag
= 18.5 bags

*must round up to 19 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag

STEP 2:
BAGS OF FOUR
calculate price of 19 bags of 4 apples per bag

= 19 bags * $5/bag
= $95 for 19 bags of 4 apples/bag

STEP 3:
BAGS OF SIX
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples

= 74 ÷ 6 apples per bag
= 12.3333 bags needed

*must round up to 13 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag

STEP 4:
BAGS OF SIX

calculate price of 13 bags of 6 apples per bag

= 13 bags * $7 per bag
= $91 for 13 bags of 6 apples/bag


ANSWER: The smallest cost to buy 74 apples is $91.

Hope this helps! :)

How does recipe conversion factors work? For example, if I have a soup that is originally 24 servings and has 16 oz of fish, and
Neporo4naja [7]

You have to find the unit rate, which in this case means the amount of fish you need per serving of soup.

If 16 oz of fish makes 24 servings, then 16/24 oz = 2/3 oz makes 1 serving.

Now multiply both quantities by 10, so that 10 servings require 20/3 oz ≈ 6.67 oz of fish.

A more direct way to do this is to solve for <em>x</em> in the following equation:

(16 oz fish) / (24 servings) = (<em>x</em> oz fish) / (10 servings)

Then (omitting units)

<em>x</em> = 10 • 16 / 24 = 20/3

Find the slop for the given graph and y-intercept <br><br> I got a pic to lol
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The slope is rise/run
3 up and 3 to the left: 3/3 = 1
The slope is 1

Assuming graph is 1 units per box and y intercept is (0,y), looking at the graph you can see it’s (0,-1)
The y intercept is (0,-1)

Find the solution to the following system using substitution or elimination:​
raketka [301]

Answer:

B) (3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 7

y = 3x - 8

3x - 8 = -2x + 7

combine like terms:

5x = 15

divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 3

y = 3(3) - 8 = 1
