7(10 visits) ≤ 68
70 ≤ 68
Not Viable

7(9 visits) ≤ 68
63 ≤ 68
Viable

The first solution is not viable because 10 visits will give a total cost of $70 per month, which is $2 over his monthly budget of $68.

The second solution is viable. He could visit the gym a maximum of 9 times per month for a total of $63 a month and that will be under his $68 monthly budget.

Hope this helps! :)

A store sells rope by the meter. The equation p=0.8L represents the price p(in dollars) of a piece of nylon rope that is L meter

Margaret [11]

Answer:

1. $0.80 or 80 cents

2. 1.25 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation p=0.8L represents the price p (in dollars) of a piece of nylon rope that is L meters long.

1. To find how much the nylon costs per meter, take L = 1 (this means you are calculating the price of a piece of nylon rope that is 1 meter long):

$L=1,\\ \\p=\$0.8\cdot 1=\$0.80$
