Answer:

$76.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that inflation from last year to this year was 2% and a pair of designer jeans sold for $75 last year. We are asked to find the price of pair of designer jeans this year.

An inflation of 2% will increase the price of pair of jeans by 2%, so price of pair of jeans this year would be $75 plus 2% of $75.

\text{Price of pair of jeans this year}=\$75+\$75\times\frac{2}{100}

\text{Price of pair of jeans this year}=\$75+\$75\times0.02

\text{Price of pair of jeans this year}=\$75+\$1.5

\text{Price of pair of jeans this year}=\$76.5

Therefore, the price of pair of jeans would be $76.5 this year.

Complete equation describing how X and Y are related.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Every time the x-value increases by 1, the y-value increases by 2. Therefore, the slope of the line must be equal to 2/1=\boxed{2} (rise/y-values over run/x-values). In slope-intercept form y=mx+b, m represents the slope of the line, b represents the y-intercept, and (x,y) represents any point the line passes through.

Since m represents the slope of the line, the value of

While the question only asks for this value, it's good to note that the equation of the function is y=2x+7 (find 7 by substituting any ordered pair in the table with m=2).

jason has 150 cents nickels and quarters. if the number of nickels he has is 5 less than the twice the number of quarters, how m
eimsori [14]
Let's set up some simultaneous equations. Let the number of nickels be n, and the number of quarters be q. Now I'm from England so I had to look up the value of a nickel (I could guess the quarter though to be 25c), but apparently it's 5c

Okay we know that the total value of the coins is 150. This gives:

25q + 5n = 150

Rearranging to make n the subject:

n = 30 - 5q

Next, we use the second statement:

n = 2q - 5

Substituting this into the first equation:

2q - 5 = 30 - 5q
7q = 35
q = 5

Putting this value for q into the first equation:

n = 30 - 5(5) = 5

Hence he has 5 of each coin. I hope this helps :)
