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.

What is the missing part of the solution?
Margaret [11]
Answer:
6.64

Explanation:
In the solution, we have a 10^-19.
This means that we will need to take a 10^-19 as a common factor from all terms.
For the first term:
3.4 * 10^-20 = 0.34 * 10^-19
For the second term:
5.4 * 10^-19 already has a 10^-19 in it
For the third term:
9 * 10^-20 = 0.9 * 10^-19

Therefore, the given expression:
(3.4*10^-20) + (5.4*10^-19) + (9*10^-20)
can be rewritten as:
(0.34 * 10^-19) + (5.4 * 10^-19) + (0.9 * 10^-19)
Take 10^-19 as a common factor and compute the sum as follows:
(0.34 * 10^-19) + (5.4 * 10^-19) + (0.9 * 10^-19)
= 10^-19 (0.34+5.4+0.9)
= 6.64 * 10^-19

Hope this helps :)
