Answer: the cost of each bush is $15
the cost of each flower is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of each bush.
Let y represent the cost of each flower.
Portia bought 12 bushes and 30 flowers for $240 to plant in her yard. This is expressed as
12x + 30y = 240- - - - - - - - - - -1
Later, she realized she did not have enough plants and bought 7 more bushes and 10 more flowers for $125. This is expressed as
7x + 10y = 125- - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 12, it becomes
84x + 210y = 1680
84x + 120y = 1500
Subtracting, it becomes
90y = 180
y = 180/90
y = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
12x + 30 × 2 = 240
12x + 60 = 240
12x = 240 - 60 = 180
x = 180/12
x = 15
Answer:
f(3) = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1) = 1
f(2) = 2
f(n) = f(n − 2) + f(n − 1)
f(3) = f(3 - 2) + f(3 - 1)
= f(1) + f(2) = 1 + 2 = 3
Special Note: Have you heard of the Fibonacci sequence?
The formula f(n) = f(n − 2) + f(n − 1) is used to find the terms of the of the Fibonacci sequence
The area of the top of the table is 28 × 20 = 560 cm2. The area of Patty’s tiles is 8 cm2 each and the area of Jake’s tiles is 9 cm2 each. Patty will need 560 ÷ 8, or 70, tiles. Jake will need 560 ÷ 9, or about 63, tiles. So, Patty will use about 7 more tiles.
That means one whole is cut into 8 parts, and one of those eight parts is considered to be one-eighth of a whole
