Answer:
61 bags of lettuce
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create two equations representing the cost of bags of lettuce:
Val's Veggies: 250 + 1.50x = V
Sally's Salads: 100 + 4.00x = S
If you buy 60 bags of lettuce from either store, the answers will be equivalent:
If x = 60
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 90 = V
340 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 240 = S
340 = S
Now that both equations are equivalent, all we need to do to tip the balance and make Val's Veggies cheaper is purchase one more bag of lettuce:
x = 61
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 91.50 = V
341.50 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 244 = S
344 = S
Since V represents the price of a bag of lettuce at Val's Veggies and V is now less than S (Sally's Salads), Val's Veggies is now the cheaper option.
Therefore, 61 bags of lettuce must be purchased in order for Val's Veggies to be the cheaper option.
The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:
60 pounds of onion rings and 60 hamburgers.
Explanation:
Jack serves a half pound of onion rings with every burger. He serves 120 bacon cheeseburgers. To find the number of pounds of onion rings, we multiply 1/2 pound by 120 burgers:
1/2(120) = 1/2(120/1) = (1*120)/(2*1) = 120/2 = 60 pounds of onion rings.
There were 8 hamburgers served out of the first 40 orders. If this rate continues, then to find the number of hamburgers out of 300 orders, we multiply 8/40 by 300:
8/40(300) = 8/40(300/1) = (8*300)/(40*1) = 2400/40 = 60
There would be 60 hamburgers.
Answer:
v=-3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
9 = v + 4 v + 12
=>5v=9-12
=>v=-3/5
If y=mx+b,
You can't differentiate a constant, so dy/dx=m.
