He charges 4.75 per lb....
so 5 lbs would cost (5 * 4.75) = $ 23.75 <==
Answer : 96
x – y = 16 --------> equation 1
1/8 x + 1/2 y = 52
x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade
We solve the first equation for y
x - y = 16
-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)
y = -16 + x
Now substitute y in second equation
1/8 x + 1/2 ( -16 + x ) = 52
1/8x - 8 + 1/2 x = 52
1/8x + 1/2x - 8 = 52
Take common denominator to combine fractions
1/8x + 4/8x -8 = 52
5/8x - 8 = 52
Add 8 on both sides
5/8x = 60
Multiply both sides by 8/5
x = 96
We know x is the higher grade
96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.
Answer:
Equation in square form:

Extreme value:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given

we can complete square

we can use formula


now, we can add and subtract 5^2



So, we get equation as

Extreme values:
we know that this parabola
and vertex of parabola always at extreme values
so, we can compare it with

where
vertex=(h,k)
now, we can compare and find h and k

we get
h=-5
k=-4
so, extreme value of this equation is

The answer would be 18550$. you would find 7.25% of 20000, multiply it by 5, then subtract it from 20000 to get 18550$.
