Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

From 1960 to 1970, the consumer price index (CPI) increased from 29.6 to 38.8.

Let the macaroni and cheese dinner cost $x in 1960.

If a macaroni and cheese dinner cost $0.37 in 1960 and the price of macaroni and cheese increased at the same rate as the CPI from 1960 to 1970, then

\frac{29.6}{38.8}=\frac{0.37}{x}

29.6x=0.37\times 38.8

x=\frac{0.37\times 38.8}{29.6}

x=0.485

The macaroni and cheese dinner cost is $0.485 in 1970.

The price of a macaroni and cheese dinner increase from 1960 to 1970 by

\$0.485-\$0.37=\$0.115\approx \$0.12

The price of a macaroni and cheese dinner increased by $0.12 from 1960 to 1970.

Therefore the correct option is C.

What is the theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5? Write the fraction, decimal and percent.
stealth61 [152]

Given:

Rolling a fair dice.

To find:

The theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5.

Solution:

The possible numbers of rolling a dice are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Total outcomes = 6

Numbers less than 5 are 1, 2, 3, 4.

Favorable outcomes = 4

Now, the theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5 is:

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{4}{6}

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{2}{3}

In decimal form, it can be written as:

\text{Probability}\approx 0.67

In percentage form, it can be written as:

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 100

\text{Probability}\approx 66.67%

Therefore, the theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5 in the fraction, decimal and percent are \dfrac{2}{3}, 0.67 and 66.67\% respectively.

The cost of, y, of a large pizza with x topping from pats pizzeria can be modeled by a linear function. A large pizza with no to
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The cost would be 22.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of each topping, we simply take the excess cost and divide it by the number of toppings. To find the excess cost, take the new cost and subtract the original cost.

17.50 - 14.00 = 3.50

Now divide that by the amount of toppings.

3.50/2 = 1.75

Now we can multiply the new number of toppings by that amount and add the cost of the pizza.

5(1.75) + 14.00

8.75 + 14.00

22.75
