Answer:

option B) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.50 per pound plus a shipping fee of $0.25 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>

case A) The cost of purchasing a basket of oranges for $1.80 per pound plus $5.00 for the basket

Let

x ----> the pounds of oranges

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=1.80x+5

The line not passes through the origin (because the y-intercept is not zero)

therefore

This situation not represent a proportional relationship

case B) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.50 per pound plus a shipping fee of $0.25 per pound

Let

x ----> the pounds of oranges

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=(1.50-0.25)x

y=(1.25)x

The line passes through the origin

therefore

This situation represent a proportional relationship

case C) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.90 per box  with a delivery charge of $3.50

Let

x ----> the number of box

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=1.90x+3.50

The line not passes through the origin (because the y-intercept is not zero)

therefore

This situation not represent a proportional relationship

case D) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.75 per pound with a coupon for $1.00 off the total cost

Let

x ----> the pounds of oranges

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=1.75x-1.00

The line not passes through the origin (because the y-intercept is not zero)

therefore

This situation not represent a proportional relationship

Seven and thirty twp hundreths plus two and one tenth times two and seven tenths minus 18a
alexdok [17]
Answer:  Write the expression as:

" 70 \frac{32}{100} +
                         2\frac{1}{10} * 2\frac{7}{10 − 18a " ; 
______________________________________________________
or;  write as:
______________________________________________________
           " 70.32  + (2.1) * (2.7)  − 18a " ; 
______________________________________________________

To simplify:
______________________________________________________

  Using "PEDMAS" (the "order of operations") ; 

the "multiplication" comes first; 

So:  →  "(2.1) * (2.7) =  5.67 " .

And rewrite:
______________________________________________________
 " 70.32  + 5.67 − 18a " .

Now:  " 70.32 + 5.67 = 75.99 " ; 

So, we can the final simplified expression as:
______________________________________________________
   " 75.99  −  18a " ;  

or; write as:  " 75\frac{99}{100}  −  18a " .

Answer:

? Is 41 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

SOH CAH TOA

Hypotenuse is 60

Adjacent is 45

Hypotenuse and adjacent - Cos

(Cos inverse to find the angle)

Cos(?) = a/h

Cos(?) = 45/60

Cos-(45/60) =?

? = 41.40962211

Hope this helps!
