Answer:

The better deal cannot be decided as we were not the weights of the 2 avocados. However, we assume they are x is the price of the larger avocado and y the weight of the larger avocado. Therefore we calculate the price per pound of the larger avocado which is x/y. The weight of the smaller avocado is called z while the price od the smaller / regular avocado is $0.84.The price per pound of the smaller / regular avocado is calculated as 0.84/z. Therefore x/y<0.84/z will make buying the longer avocado a better deal. Also, x/y>0.84/z will make buying the smaller/ regular avocado a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The better deal cannot be decided as we were not the weights of the 2 avocados. However, we assume they are x is the price of the larger avocado and y the weight of the larger avocado. Therefore we calculate the price per pound of the larger avocado which is x/y. The weight of the smaller avocado is called z while the price od the smaller / regular avocado is $0.84.The price per pound of the smaller / regular avocado is calculated as 0.84/z. Therefore x/y<0.84/z will make buying the longer avocado a better deal. Also, x/y>0.84/z will make buying the smaller/ regular avocado a better deal.

Answer:

The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes of the bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two sizea of avocados are being sold, since the regular size is being sold for $0.84 each, let the price for the bigger avocado be $x.

Then note the following:

1. How bigger than the smaller avocado is the bigger one?

This would determine if the price for the bigger one is a bargain, or a mistake.

If for instance, the bigger avocado is double the size of the smaller one, then for any price, $x less that $1.68 (twice of $0.84), it is a bargain.

The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.

You walk through a used car lot and list the price and model year of each car you see determine whether the two variables are re
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The narrative in the question can not be described as a function

Step-by-step explanation:

For the purpose of clarity, we will rephrase the question. The key point in the question  is to determine if the price and the model are related and if they fit into independent and dependent function.

Moving forward, to properly answer this question, it will be good for us to understand what dependent and independent functions are.

DEPENDENT FUNCTIONS: These are functions or can also be refereed to as variable that represents quantities or values whose parameter depends on how the independent variable is manipulated.

Example:

You are doing job to earn your a salary. For each project you do, you earn $10 dollar. In this case, the dependent variable is the amount of money you earn because the amount of money you earn depends on how many job or project you do.

INDEPENDENT FUNCTIONS: These are functions or can also be refereed to as variable that we have control over in the process of an event therefore, we are at liberty to manipulate it as we so wish as indicated in the dependent variable.

Going back to the narrative of the question, the narrative in the question can not be described as a function because the two identifies variables which are the price and the model years are been altered due to the fact that it is a used car lot so they have both lost their true value or worth. However, some might argue that price here is the independent function or variable while model year is the dependent variable.

Find the surface area of the regular pentagonal pyramid.
mr_godi [17]
Area of each side triangle is 1/2*8*15 = 60. There are 5 of them so the triangles have surface area 300. the pentagon's area 1/2*apothegm*sidelength*sides = 1/2*5.5*8*5 = 110. The total area is therefore 300+110 = 410
