Answer:
54 Pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that they start off with 67.5 pounds of sugar and they need to reduce it by 20%. We also know from the problem that we want to know the MAXIMUM amount of sugar consumed by each track member.
The typical high school student consumes about 67.5 pounds of sugar per year. That is our first piece of the problem
67.5
We now know that 20% of it needs to be reduced. This means that we can multiply it by 0.8 because that is 20% less than 100% of the sugar.
67.5 x 0.8
This leads the answer to be 54 Pounds
Hope this helped :D
Answer:
y = 1/4 x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To write the equation of a line, find from the line the slope and y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis which here is at point (0,-2).
The slope of the line is found by writing a ratio between the vertical distance and the horizontal distance between points.
Slope is 1/4.
Substitute m = 1/4 and b = -2 into the slope intercept form y = mx + b.
y = 1/4 x - 2
