Answer:
C. 14.9

Explanation:
When rounding to the nearest tenth, we will check the number in the hundredth position:
1- If the number in the hundredth position is less than 5, then we will just omit all numbers after the tenth and keep its value as it is
2- If the number in the hundredth position is 5 or more, then we will omit all numbers after the tenth and add 1 to the value of the tenth.

In the given question, the number in the hundredth position is 5, therefore, we will add 1 to the tenth and then omit all digits after it.

So, 14.857 is approximately equal to 14.9

Hope this helps :)

C. 14.9 because the second number is 5 so you drop the seven and the 5 and round the 8 up to 9

A bakery the price of the cake is nine dollars more than the price of a pie. One day the bakery sold 8 cakes and 14 pies for a t

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The price of the cake is $24 and the price of the Pie is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Represent price of Cake with C and Price of Pie with P</em>

$C = 9 + P$

Cakes sold = 8

Pies sold = 14

$Total = \$402$

Required

Determine C and P

To represent the cakes and pies sold, we have the following expression

$8C + 14P = 402$

Substitute 9 + P for C

$8(9+P) + 14P = 402$

Open the bracket

$72 + 8P + 14P = 402$

Collect Like Terms

$8P + 14P = 402 - 72$

$22P= 330$

Divide both sides by 22

$P = \frac{330}{22}$

$P = 15$

Recall that

$C = 9 + P$

$C = 9 + 15$

$C = 24$

<em>Hence, the price of the cake is $24 and the price of the Pie is $15</em>

An initial investment of $60.00 increases in value by 15% each year. Which of the following statements are true? Select all that

aivan3 [116]

The situations can be represented by the exponential function f(x)=60x1.15^x
After 7.86 years the value of the investment will be three times the initial value (If you round to the nearest dollar)
After 8 years the value of the investment will be $184.00 (If you round to the nearest dollar)

If the 9-inch wheel of cheese costs $18.60, what is the cost per square inch? If the cost is less than a dollar, put a zero to t

vagabundo [1.1K]

Find the area of the wheel:

Area of a circle is found using the formula:

Area = PI x r^2

9 inch would be the diameter, so the radius would be 9/2 = 4.5 inches.

The area would be 3.14 x 4.5^2 = 63.6 square inches.

Now divide the price by the area to get price per square inch:

Cost per square inch = 18.60 / 63.6 = $0.29 (rounded to the nearest cent)
