The cost of a dinner is divided equally among 12 diners.Each diner pays $12.50 for his or her portion. what was the cost of the
dinner?
2 answers:
$150
Answer: $150
Step-by-step explanation:
We can simplify 12.50 to 12.5, because the zero is behind the decimal point, and has nothing after it.
We multiply 12.5 (the cost of each portion) by 12 (the amount of portions) to get the total cost. If you are allowed to use a calculator you can just plug in the numbers, as so:
12.5 x 12 = 150
If not, and you need to show work, It'll look like the image I attached.
If you're unsure, you can use division to check your answer.

The given polynomial function has 1 relative minimum and 1 relative maximum.
<h3>What are the relative minimum and relative maximum?</h3>- The relative minimum is the point on the graph where the y-coordinate has the minimum value.
- The relative maximum is the point on the graph where the y-coordinate has the maximum value.
- To determine the maximum and the minimum values of a function, the given function is derivated(since the maximum or minimum is obtained at slope = 0)
The given function is
f(x) = 2x³ - 2x² + 1
derivating the above function,
f'(x) = 6x² - 4x
At slope = 0, f'(x) = 0 (for maximum and minimum values)
⇒ 6x² - 4x = 0
⇒ 2x(3x - 2) = 0
2x = 0 or 3x - 2 = 0
∴ x = 0 or x = 2/3
Then the y-coordinates are calculated by substituting these x values in the given function,
when x = 0;
f(0) = 2(0)³ - 2(0)² + 1 = 1
So, the point is (0, 1)
when x = 2/3;
f(2/3) = 2(2/3)³ - 2(2/3)² + 1 = 19/27
So, the point is (2/3, 19/27)
Since y = 1 is the largest value, the point (0, 1) is the relative maximum for the given function.
So, y = 19/27 is the smallest value, the point (2/3, 19/27) is the relative minimum for the given function.
Thus, option A is correct.
