Answer:

The unit price are:

$0.285 for the 10.5 ounce package

$0.272 for the 29.3 ounce package.

The size that is the better buy based on the unit price is the 29.3-ounce package costs $7.98 because it's unit's price($0.272) is lesser than that of the 10.5 ounce package.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question:

A 10.5-ounce package costs $2.99.

The unit price = 1 ounce.

10.5 ounce = $2.99

1 ounce = x

10.5 ounce × x = 1 ounce × $2.99

x = 1 ounce × $2.99/10.5 ounce

x = $0.2847619048

The unit price = $0.2847619048

Approximately = $0.285

A 29.3-ounce package costs $7.98.

The unit price = 1 ounce.

29.3 ounce = $7.98

1 ounce = x

29.3 ounce × x = 1 ounce × $7.98

x = 1 ounce × $7.98/29.3 ounce

x = $0.2723549488

The unit price = $0.2723549488

Approximately = $0.272

The size that is the better buy based on the unit price is the 29.3-ounce package costs $7.98 because it's unit's price($0.272) is lesser than that of the 10.5 ounce package.

You order a breakfast that costs $10.25 and a coffee that costs $3.45. You leave a 02% tip and the sales tax is 9.5%. What is th
Rasek [7]

Answer: the total cost of the meal is

$17.7415

Step-by-step explanation:

The original cost of the breakfast $10.25 and the original cost of the coffee is $3.45. This means that the total cost of the breakfast and the coffee was

10.25 + 3.45 = $13.7

You leave a 20% tip. This means that the amount of tip that you left is

20/100 × 13.7 = 0.2 × 13.7 = $2.74

The sales tax is 9.5%. This means that the amount of sales tax that you paid is

9.5/100 × 13.7 = 0.095 × 13.7 = $1.3015

Therefore, the total cost of the meal would be

13.7 + 2.74 + 1.3015 = $17.7415

On an exam, Mafuyu scored in the 20th percentile. If there were 50 students in the class, how many students scored lower than he
Reptile [31]

Using the percentile concept, it is found that 10 students scored lower than he did.

<h3>What is the meaning of the percentile of a measure?</h3>

When a measure is in the xth percentile of a data-set, it is greater than x% of the measures and lesser than (100 - x)%.

In this problem, he scored on the 20th percentile, that is, higher than 20% of the 50 students. Then:

0.2 x 50 = 10.

10 students scored lower than he did.

FInd an equation of the line that passes through the point (3,-5) and is parallel to 4x=1+2y
kow [346]

Answer:

y=2x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

Put it in the form y=mx+b=>y=2x-1/2. Instead of -1/2, put it as b, since you want it to go through 3,-5. y=2m+b when it goes through (3,-5) happens when -5=3*2-b. Do algebra, and get b as 11. That means the equation is y=2x-11.
