Answer:
a. $2.18
b. $15.60
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Price per pound of American cheese = $4.35 / 0.75 = $5.8
Price per pound of Swiss cheese = $7.98
Difference in price per pound = $7.98 - $5.8 = $2.18
b. Total amount spent on swiss cheese = $7.98 x 2.5 = $19.95
Amount spent more on Swiss cheese than on American cheese = $19,95 - $4.35 = $15.60
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem shows that 400 or 20² - 256 or 16² = 144 or 12² which means that the other side is 12
x=12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
An exponential function is of the form

where a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay rate. Our initial value is 64. That's easy to plug in. It goes in for a. So the first choice is out. Considering b now...
If the rate is decreasing at .5% per week, this means it still retains a rate of
100% - .5% = 99.5%
which is .995 in decimal form.
b is a rate of decay when it is greater than 0 but less than 1; b is a growth rate when it is greater than 1. .995 is less than 1 so it is a rate of decay. The exponential function is, in terms of t,

72 is 266.666666667% of 27
