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)

Write a linear function with the values (-1,8) and (5,6)
valentina_108 [34]

Let the function be y = ax + c.

For (-1,8), 8 = a(-1) + c → 8 = - a + c

For (5,6), 6 = a(5) + c → 6 = 5a + c

Subtract one from abother,

2 = - 6a => - 1/3 = a

Hence, 8 = - 1/3 + c → 23/3 = c

Relation is:

y = (-1/3)x + (23/3)

3y = - x + 23

3y = 23 - x

How can i solve the following <br> 4x-3=2x+7
yan [13]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x.

Add 3 and subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

4x (-2x) - 3 (+3) = 2x (-2x) + 7 (+3)

4x - 2x = 7 + 3

2x = 10

Next, isolate the x by dividing 2 from both sides of the equation:

(2x)/2 = (10)/2

x = 10/2

x = 5

5 is your answer for x.

jacquie hired a contractor to install a tile floor in her laundry room which measures 10.5 feet by 8 feet. the contractor inform
Agata [3.3K]
There are 3 types of cost for this problem: the cost for the area covered by the tiles, cost for hourly labor and the sales tax.

Cost of Area = (10.5 ft)(8 ft)($4.75) = $399
Cost of Hourly Labor = ($22/h)(7.5 h) = $165
Sum = $399 + $165 = $564
Cost of tax = $564(0.08) = $45.12

Total Cost = $564 + $45.12 = <em>$609.12</em>

So, the amount of the bill is incorrect.
