So to start this question you find the prices of the two types of cups and create a basic formula for them. For the mug it would have a base price of $2.95 and a refill price of $0.50. For the disposable cup it would cost $0.85 a piece.
So for the mug you would take the base price of 2.95 and add it by x amount of refills to find the break even point of the two. So the formula would look like 2.95+0.50x. The other would be 0.85x. Now its just a matter of guess and check to see how many refills it would take for the mug to be cheaper. i hope this helped!

Using a calculator, find the decimal equivalent for the fraction 416888 416 888 . CLEAR CHECK 0.468⎯⎯ 0 . 46 8 ¯ 0.468 0 . 468 0

vlabodo [156]

<h3>Decimal equivalent for the fraction can be written as $\overline{0.468468}$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given fraction that needs to be divided is:

$P = (\frac{416}{888} )$

Now, here the dividend is given as : 416

The Divisor is given as: 886

Also, as Divisor > Dividend

⇒ <u>The quotient will be less than 1.</u>

Now, if we use the calculator to find the decimal equivalent of P , we get:

$P = (\frac{416}{888} ) = 0.4684684684..$

Noe, as we can see, the group number (468468) is repeated non terminating.

So, the solved quotient can be written as : $\overline{0.468468}$

Hence, decimal equivalent for the fraction can be written as $\overline{0.468468}$

Let s equal the number of shirts she can buy

140 > $28.50 + $20.75s
111.50 > 20.75s
5.37 > s

so we round down. she can buy 5 shirts, plus the one dress and she would spend less than $140
