Answer:

I buy 4 food items and 7 non-food items from the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

The food items in the store are sold at $3 each and the non-food items are sold at $3 plus 5% tax.

So, the cost of each non-food items will be 3(1 + \frac{5}{100}) = 3.15 dollars.

If we consider that I buy 1 food item, then I buy $(34.05 - 3) = $31.05 of non-food items which is not a multiple of $3.15.

If I buy 2 food items, then I buy $(31.05 - 3) = $28.05 of non-food items which is again not a multiple of $3.15.

If we consider that I buy 3 food items, then I buy $(28.05 - 3) = $25.05 of non-food items which is again not a multiple of $3.15.

If I buy 4 food items, then I but $(25.05 - 3) = $22.05 of non-food items which is finally a multiple of $3.15 as (3.15 × 7) = 22.05.

Therefore, I buy 4 food items and 7 non-food items from the store. (Answer)

What is the initial value in the function 2x + 3y = 6?
maw [93]
<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

The initial value of this function is the y-intercept. We know that the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is given by:

y=mx+b \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ \\ m:slope \\ \\ b:y-intercept

Writing our equation in slope intercept form:

2x + 3y = 6 \\ \\ \\ \text{Subtract 2x from both sides}: \\ \\ 2x -2x+ 3y = 6-2x \\ \\ 3y=6-2x \\ \\ \\ \text{Divide both sides by 3}: \\ \\ y=\frac{6-2x}{3} \\ \\ y=-\frac{2x}{3}+2

So the initial value is:

b=3
