Answer:
infinite
Step-by-step explanation:
Move all the x terms to one side and solve for x. 15x-10x=21-6 : 5x/5=15/5 : x=3
Answer:
- g = -1110p +4300.9
- 804 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Price is the independent variable, so the data we are given can be written as ...
(price, gallons) = (2.99, 982) and (2.79, 1204)
Using the 2-point form of the equation for a line, we have ...
g = (g2 -g1)/(p2 -p1)(p -p1) +g1
g = (1204 -982)/(2.79 -2.99)(p -2.99) +982
g = -1110(p -2.99) +982 = -1110p +4300.9
g = -1110p +4300.9
__
b) When p = 3.15, the predicted sales volume is ...
g = -1110(3.15) +4300.9 = 804.4
Weekly sales are predicted to be 804 gallons at a price of $3.15.
Lets answer the information by making it look like a budget subtraction:
60 = Total
1. Remove the delivery cost, so you can leave the rest of the budget for your pizzas.
60 - 7.50 = 52.50
2. Now, subtract the cost of pizzas multiple times until you reach it to where you dont have enough for another pizza.
52.50 - 14 = 38.50 Pizza 1
38.50 - 14 = 24.50 Pizza 2
24.50 - 14 = 10.50 Pizza 3
Now, theres not enough to buy another.
So, we know that Jacque can only afford 3 pizzas, but she need to calculate the number of slices.
3. Multiply the number of slices by the number of pizzas.
8 x 3 = 24
So, the largest number is 24 slices.
