In order to solve this problem you will have to find function notation.

Step 1: Find the function notation of f(3).
Make sure to sub everything that has a x in for 3. f(3)=2(3)+1

Step 2: Solve for this function notation.
f(3)=6+1
f(3)=7 *this is the function notation of f(3)

Step 3: Now you will need to sub in the answer for f(3) in for g(f(3)).
You'll have; g(7)

Step 4: Now you need to solve this function notation using 7 to sub in for anything that has a (x).
g(7)=(3x-1)÷2

Step 5: Now just the problem above.
*Make sure to follow rules of PEMDAS
g(7)=(3×7-1)÷2
g(7)=(21-1)÷2
g(7)=(20)÷2
g(7)=20÷2
g(7)= 10

Step 6: **REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR ANSWER BACK INTO THE FUNCTION NOTATION OF WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR**
In this case we are looking for g(f(3))
So, g(f(3))= 10

An advertisement claims that a 5-pound box of detergent will wash 20 loads of laundry. A 5-pound box costs $3.50. A 15-pound box

Llana [10]

Answer. Option B. 0.8 cents.

Solution:

With a 5-pound box of detergent will wash 20 loads of laundry, then with a 15-pound box (5*3) of detergent will wash 20*3=60 loads of laundry, and you would pay $10.00.

To wash 60 loads of laundry with 5-pound box, you would need three 5-pound box, and you would pay $3.50*3=$10.50.

Then you would save in total $10.50-$10.00=$0.50

And per load, you would save: $0.50/60=$0.008=0.008*100 cents=0.8 cents
