Answer:
1 5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of parking is an initial cost plus an hourly cost.
The first hour costs $7.
You need a function for the cost of more than 1 hour,
meaning 2, 3, 4, etc. hours.
Each hour after the first hour costs $5.
1 hour: $7
2 hours: $7 + $5 = 7 + 5 * 1 = 12
3 hours: $7 + $5 + $5 = 7 + 5 * 2 = 17
4 hours: $7 + $5 + $5 + $5 = 7 + 5 * 3 = 22
Notice the pattern above in the middle column.
The number of $5 charges you add is one less than the number of hours.
For 2 hours, you only add one $5 charge.
For 3 hours, you add two $5 charges.
Since the number of hours is x, according to the problem, 1 hour less than the number of hours is x - 1.
The fixed charge is the $7 for the first hour.
Each additional hour is $5, so you multiply 1 less than the number of hours,
x - 1, by 5 and add to 7.
C(x) = 7 + 5(x - 1)
This can be left as it is, or it can be simplified as
C(x) = 7 + 5x - 5
C(x) = 5x + 2
Answer: C(x) = 5x + 2
Check:
For 2 hours: C(2) = 5(2) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
For 3 hours: C(3) = 5(3) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
For 4 hours: C(3) = 5(4) + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
Notice that the totals for 2, 3, 4 hours here
are the same as the right column in the table above.
Answer:
16/3 or 5.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply
4/1 * 3/4
4 * 4 = 16
3 * 1 = 3
Answer:
6. D.
7. F.
8. A.
9. B.
10. C.
Step-by-step explanation:
6. 9 + (12 - 10)
12 - 10 = 2
9 + 2 = 11
7. (20 - 15) x 2
20 - 15 = 5
5 x 2 = 10
8. 10 ÷ 5 + 7
10 ÷ 5 = 2
2 + 7 = 9
9. 6 + 2 x 3
2 x 3 = 6
6 + 6 = 12
10. (2 x 4) + 8
2 x 4 = 8
8 + 8 = 16
