Answer:

Ace Truck

$C(m) = 30 + 0.5*m$

Acme Truck

$C(m) = 25 + 0.55*m$

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost function to lease a box truck from a company has the following format:

$C(m) = F + a*m$

In which F is the fixed cost and a is the cost per mile m.

(a) Find the daily cost of leasing from each company as a function of the number of miles driven.

Ace Truck

$30/day and $0.50/mi. This means that $F = 30, a = 0.50$ . So

$C(m) = 30 + 0.5*m$

Acme Truck

$25/day and $0.55/mi. This means that $F = 25 a = 0.55$ . So

$C(m) = 25 + 0.55*m$

24 feet long :)
All I did was I divided the 36 into 3 equal parts of 12, then doubled the 12 to make that longer piece 24 feet. This 24 foot piece would be twice as long as the other leftover 12 foot piece since 12x2=24

A jar of natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it's on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount

kakasveta [241]

$4 is the original price of the jar consisting of peanut butter so therefor it = 100%. It's for sale at $3.60, so we divide $4 by 100% so we get the percentage for each cent and then we times it by 3.60 to get the percentage for $3.60 which is 90%. Now we subtract 90% from 100% to get the discounted percentage for 40cents :)
