The scuba diver must descend 3 feet in the fifth minute to meet the goal.

Why?

To find how many feet does the scuba diver need to descend to reach the goal of 35 feet in 5 minutes, we need to calculate how many feet he did descend on the first 4 minutes.

So, calculating we have:

FirstMinute=9ft\\SecondMinute=11ft\\ThirdMinute=5ft\\FourthMinute=7ft\\Total=9ft+11ft+5ft+7ft=32ft\\\\Goal=35ft\\\\Needed=Goal-Total(4Minutes)\\\\Needed=35ft-32ft=3ft

Hence, we can see that at the 4 minute, he has only descended 32ft. It means that he need to descend 3 feet more in the fifth minute.

Have a nice day!

A merchant sold a pen for $6.90 ,thereby making a profit of 15% on her cost calculate the cost of the pen to the merchant to the
NeTakaya
So you know the merchant made a 15% profit on the pen, so she bought it for a cheaper price. To find the cost of the pen before you have to take the price now, $6.90 and times it by 85%. You do 85% because you subtract the 15% she saved from 100% and you get 85%. So 6.90x.85= 5.865 which rounds to $5.87

NikAS [45]
So my understanding from this you have to make it y = mx + b so m stands for the slope there’s different ways to find it as shown in the first picture. I’ll try to make another comment since this only lets me take one picture at a time.
