Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It is hard for me to read but you take the weight times the cost per pound to find out how much
IF you buy potatoes 6.3 pounds times $7.56 a pound = $47.63 total
but IF its 6.3 pound at a total cost of $7.56 you divide to find the per pound price. $7.56 ÷ 6.3 pounds = $1.20 a pound.
to check this you take your answer $1.20 times the number of pounds bought 6.3 = $7.56
Percent.
It wouldn’t be a decimal because 0.24 x 100 = 24
It wouldn’t be a fraction because it would be a whole number
It wouldn’t be a benchmark percent because it’s not 25, 50, 75 or 100
In order to solve this, we need to select the function that meets our constraints. Since x^2 - 5 occurs when x is less than 3, and the x-value we are given is -4, we use the first function.
f(-4) = (-4)^2 - 5
f(-4) = 16 - 5
f(-4) = 11
