Answer:

The answer is $1.70

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 plums are $1.50 you would divide $1.50 by 6 to get the unit cost, $.25. Then you do the same thing for the apples. $3.00 divided by the 5 apples is $.60. Now you need to multiply both unit costs by 2 then add them together to get $1.70

(plums) $1.50 / 6 = .25

(apples) $3.00 / 5 = .60

(plums) .25 x 2 = .50

(apples) .60 x 2 = $1.20

$1.20 + .50 = $1.70

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = x +3?

FrozenT [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

the inverse function simply calculate the original x it of a given y. so, we need to transform the original function to calculate x instead of y.

and then, at the end to make it a formally correct function definition, we rename x to y and y to x.

y = x + 3

x = y - 3

=> to make it a formally correct function definition

y = x - 3 = h(x)

Adam borrowed money to buy a new car. the bank now has a lien. what can happen if Adam doesn't make his payments on time?

S_A_V [24]

If Adam does not make his payments on time, the bank will charge an additional fee due to late payment.
The bank can also demand the possession of the car if Adam fail to pay for the entire loan despite many chances given by the bank.
The car was the collateral for the loan because the loan was for the purpose of buying the car.

Square A is a scaled version of square B. The dimensions of square A are three times the dimensions of square B. The area of squ

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The side of square A is 30 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The dimensions of square A are three times the dimensions of square B.

The area of square A is 900 sq cm.

Side of square A = 3( side of square B)

Let the side of square B is b. So,

Side of square A, a = 3b

We know that, the area of square is side². So,

$(3b)^2=900\\\\9b^2=900\\\\b^2=100\\\\b=10\ cm$

Side of square A, a = 3(10) = 30 cm

Hence, the side of square A is 30 cm.

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 55% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 80% p

seropon [69]

We need 56 pints of the 55 % pure fruit juice and 84 pints of the 80 % pure fruit juice to prepare 140 pints of 70 % pure fruit juice.

<h3>How to use weighted averages to find the correct juice concentration</h3>

In this problem we have to use two kinds of juice with different concentrations. To get a certain concentration, we must adjust quantities of each kind and weighted averages offers a method that is easy to apply:

70 · 140 = 55 · x + 80 · (140 - x)

70 · 140 = 80 · 140 - 25 · x

25 · x = 10 · 140

x = 56

We need 56 pints of the 55 % pure fruit juice and 84 pints of the 80 % pure fruit juice to prepare 140 pints of 70 % pure fruit juice.
