Since Carmen gives two coins to Frankie for every five that she gets, she effectively only gains 3 coins at a time. Therefore, if she has 9 coins, Frankie must have 6.
Answer:
3.4
Step-by-step explanation:
(−9 + 6.8 − 1.2) · (−0.49 − 0.51)
(−3.4) · (−1)
3.4
Answer:
85%
Step-by-step explanation:
If she got 3 wrong then it means she got 20-3 right, so she got 17 questions right.
From there we get the fraction: 17/20
To make the a percentage we times both the top and bottom by 5 (because 20 x 5 = 100)
By doing that we get 17x5/20x5
= 85/100
That is equal to 85%
Answer:
7 , 5 , 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial fee of $50 is essentially the y intercept because this is the value when x = 0 (x is the number of labor-hours). So b = 50.
The slope is m = 30 because each increase of 1 hour leads to the cost bumping up by 30 dollars. In other words, slope = rise/run = (change in cost)/(change in hours) = 30/1
So we plug m = 30 and b = 50 into the y = mx+b formula to get y = 30x+50
Replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = 30x+50
The linear function for the cost is f(x) = 30x+50
Note: Some books may use other letters (instead of x and f(x)), but the idea is still the same
Once you know the cost function, you replace x with 4.5 to find the amount it will cost to have a painter work for 4.5 hours.
f(x) = 30x+50
f(4.5) = 30*4.5+50
f(4.5) = 135+50
f(4.5) = 185
It will cost 185 dollars to have the painter work for 4.5 hours
