Answer:

The total price of 4\frac{1}{2}  pounds of apples is <u>$6.48</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Last week,the price of apples at a grocery store was 1.60 per pound.This week,apples at the same grocery store are on sale for a 10% discount.

Now, to find the total price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples this week at the grocery store.

The price of apples at a grocery store last week was = $1.60 per pound.

This week apples at the same grocery store is on sale of 10% discount.

Thus, the price of apples at a grocery store this week is:

1.60-10\%\ of\ 1.60.

=1.60-\frac{10}{100} \times 1.60

=1.60-0.16

=\$1.44.

So, the price of apples per pound this week is $1.44.

Now, to get the total price of 4\frac{1}{2} pounds of apples by using unitary method:

If 1 pound of apples cost = 1.44.

Then, \frac{9}{2} pound of apples cost = 1.44\times \frac{9}{2}

=1.44\times 4.5

=\$6.48.

Therefore, the total price of 4\frac{1}{2}  pounds of apples is $6.48.

Dave receives a salary of $200 a week plus a commission of 10% of his weekly sales. An equation y=mx+b represents Dave’s weekly
eduard
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Dave makes $350 

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
In order to find this answer, we must first establish the equation for his earnings.
<u>We use slope intercept form:</u>
 y = mx + b,
where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Since the problem states that his commission percentage is the slope and his base salary is the y-intercept, we can use them in the equation <u>to get the following: </u>
y = 0.1x + 200.

Now knowing that the x is the amount he sells, we can use the $1500 as x to find his total pay for the week:.
y = 0.1(1500) + 200,
y = 150 + 200,
y = 350. </span>

The low temperature in degrees Fahrenheit for 5 days was – 5, – 7, – 2, 2, and – 3. What was the average low temperature for tho
sammy [17]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average of different numbers, first you add them all up. So -5+-7+-2+2+-3+=-15. Then, you divide the sum of all the numbers by the amount of numbers there were. So in this case, there were 5 numbers so we would divide the sum of all of them by 5. So now we do -15/5=-3.

Another example of finding the average of numbers is 15+4+10+9+3+1. So first we add them up and we get 42, then again, we divide by the amount of numbers there are. So we do 40/6 and we get 7, so the average is 7.

I hope this helped.

Please help me AAAAAA
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

AEF is a similar triangle to ABC. that means it has the same angles, and the sides (and all other lines in the triangle) are scaled from the ABC length to the AEF length by the same factor f.

now, what is f ?

we know this from the relation of AC to FA.

FA = 12 mm

AC = 12 + 28 = 40 mm

so, going from AC to FA we multiply AC by f so that

AC × f = FA

40 × f = 12

f = 12/40 = 3/10

all other sides, heights, ... if ABC translate to their smaller counterparts in AEF by that multiplication with f (= 3/10).

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

aABC = 500

and because of the similarity we don't need to calculate the side and height in absolute numbers. we can use the relative sizes by referring to the original dimensions and the scaling factor f.

baseline small = baseline large × f

height small = height large × f

we know that

baseline large × height large / 2 = 500

baseline large × height large = 1000

aAEF = baseline small × height small / 2 =

= baseline large × f × height large × f / 2 =

= baseline large × height large × f² / 2 =

= 1000 × f² / 2 = 500 × f² = 500 ×(3/10)² =

= 500 × 9/100 = 5 × 9 = 45 mm²
