Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The information given in the question can be represent in a table format for better understanding with the additional columns as follows:
Items Weights Q₀ Prices P₀ Prices P₁ P₀Q₀ P₁Q₀
Cashew 1 $12.50 $17.00 $12.50 $17.00
Pecans 1 $4.00 $4.00 $4.00 $4.00
Almonds 1 $5.50 $3.00 $5.50 $3.00
Total $22 $24
Can you say what happened to the overall "price level"?
The changes in overall price level can be a result of a condition termed as inflation rate
How might you construct a measure of the "change in price level"?
To construct a measure of the change in price level; we need to determine the consumer price index (CPI).
The consumer price index can be determined by using the relation:
= 109.0%
consumer price index (CPI) is 109.0% ; This implies that there is a 9.9% inflation in the economy.
100%. 20/100 is equivalent to 20%, and because there is a 20% chance of a chip being a defect, it is 100%
Don't get too involved in the 'simplify' part just yet.
It doesn't mean make the problem easier.
It means that when you have the answer, make sure it's in simplest form.
That's why it says "Simplify your answer".
Notice that that's the 2nd instruction.
There's nothing to simplify until you have an answer.
The first thing you have to do here is find the area of a triangle.
Do you remember that formula ?
I'll bet you do.
The area of a triangle is (1/2) · (length of the base) · (height) .
The height and the length of the base are given, right there
in the picture. Take those, and use them to find the area.
Once you've multiplied the binomials, don't forget about the (1/2).
Finally, you have a trinomial for an answer.
Put the big sweet cherry on top: Factor it !
I think that's the 'simplify' part.
You may be surprised.
I was when I worked it out just now ... just for you.
Answer:
icecream = $2.99
donut = $1.19
creamcake = $4.99
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture shows $7.17 for 2 x ice-cream and 1 donut
We are given 3 cream cakes that total 14.97 we divide by 3 = 4.99
9.17- 4.99=4.18
=5.37-4.18 =1.19
we can then fill out the boxes.
1.19 +1.19 = 2.38 = 5.37-2.38= £2.99
2.99 +2.99 +1.19 = $7.17
We can see total first two rows = $12.56
2.99+2.99+2.99 +1.19 +1.19+1.19 = $12.56
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attachment for the polynomial long division. The constant in the quotient is -1.
_____
Here, there is a remainder of -x. If there were no remainder the constant in the quotient is the ratio of the constant in the dividend to the constant in the divisor: -2/2 = -1.
That could be a first guess in a "guess and check" solution approach.
<em>Guess</em>: first term of binomial quotient is (2x^3)/x^2 = 2x; last term of binomial quotient is -2/2 = -1. So, the quotient is guessed to be (2x -1).
<em>Check</em>: (2x -1)(x^2 -x +2) = 2x^3 -3x^2 +5x -2
Subtracting this from the actual dividend gives a remainder of -x. This has a lower degree than the divisor, so no further adjustment of the quotient is required.
