Answer:
$63.75
Step-by-step explanation:
15% off
Get percentage of retail price
1-0.15 = .85
0.85 = 85%
The sale price is 85% of the retail price
Multiply
0.85 * 75
$63.75
Answer:
Based off of the calculations I did, I got 32 as the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jason uses 10/6 of the paint for each chair he paints and according to the question, there are 19 chairs.
So we multiply these two numbers to get the amount of paint used after painting all 19 chairs.
10/6 * 19 = 31.666...
Then we add the previous amount Jason used for painting the furniture to the total amount of paint used after painting the 19 chairs.
31.666... + 4/12 = 32.
Thus, Jason used 32 cans of paint in total.
Answer:
3750
Step-by-step explanation:
each number is being multiplied by five
6*5=30
30*5=150
150*5=750
750*5= 3750
The initial fee of $50 is essentially the y intercept because this is the value when x = 0 (x is the number of labor-hours). So b = 50.
The slope is m = 30 because each increase of 1 hour leads to the cost bumping up by 30 dollars. In other words, slope = rise/run = (change in cost)/(change in hours) = 30/1
So we plug m = 30 and b = 50 into the y = mx+b formula to get y = 30x+50
Replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = 30x+50
The linear function for the cost is f(x) = 30x+50
Note: Some books may use other letters (instead of x and f(x)), but the idea is still the same
Once you know the cost function, you replace x with 4.5 to find the amount it will cost to have a painter work for 4.5 hours.
f(x) = 30x+50
f(4.5) = 30*4.5+50
f(4.5) = 135+50
f(4.5) = 185
It will cost 185 dollars to have the painter work for 4.5 hours
