To solve such questions we will have to observe the fact that this is a repeating decimal number with the repeating figures being 2 and 1 as 21.

Thus, we can represent 1.21212121... as 1.\overline{21}

Let us represent the original number 1.21212121... by the letter "a". Thus,

a=1.21212121...=1.\overline{21}

Therefore,a=1.\overline{21}..................(equation 1)

Let us now multiply (equation 1) by 100 to get:

100a=100\times 1.212121...=121.\overline{21}.....(equation 2)

Now, when we subtract (equation 2) from (equation 1), we will get:

100a-a=121.\overline{21}-1.\overline{21}

99a=120

\therefore a=\frac{120}{99}

Thus the given number 1.21212121... can be represented as a fraction as \frac{120}{9}.

et y represent the total cost of publishing a book (in dollars). Let x represent the number of copies of the book printed. Suppo
Mice21 [21]

The change in the total cost for each book printed is $10.

The cost to get started ( before any books are printed) is $1200

Step - by -step Explanation

What to find?

• The change in the total cost for each book printed.

,

• The cost to get started ( before any books are printed).

<em />

<em />

Given:

The given equation is 1200 + 10x = y

where x is the number of xopies of book printed and y is the total cost of publishing the book .

b) To obtain the cost to get started;

Substitute x = 0 into the given equation.

1200 + 10(0) = y

1200 = y

Hence, the cost to get started is $1200

a) To find the cost for each book;

Put x =1 in the given equation.

1200 + 10(1) = y

1210 =y

Change in cost for each book printed is 1210 - 1200 = 10

Hence, the change in the total cost for each book printed is $10.
