Answer: there were 40 questions on her math final.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of questions in the math test.

Mary got 85% correct on her math test. This means that the number of questions that she got right is

85/100 × x = 0.85 × x = 0.85x

This also means that the number of questions that she missed would be

x - 0.85x = 0.15x

Therefore, if Mary missed 6 questions, it means that

0.15x = 6

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.15, it becomes

0.15x/0.15 = 6/0.15

x = 40

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-3,<br> -5) and (-1, - 6)?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( -6 - -5)/( -1 - -3)

= ( -6+5)/( -1+3)

=-1/ 2

Veronica bought 2.1 pounds of turkey at the deli. The price of the turkey was 2.87 per pound. She also bought 4.8 pounds of ham.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Choose the correct answer from your choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the price of the turkey by multiplying the weight of turkey by the price per pound.

2.1 pounds of turkey at the deli. The price of the turkey was 2.87 per pound.

2.1 lb * 2.87 $/lb = $6.03

Then, we find the price of the ham by multiplying the weight of ham by the price per pound.

She also bought 4.8 pounds of ham. The price of the ham was 2.11 per pound.

4.8 lb * 2.11 $/lb = $10.13

Now we add the two prices together.

$6.03 + $10.13 = $16.16

The total price was $16.16

Nikita invests $2,000 into a bank account with a 4% annual interest rate. In seven years, which is the most expensive item she c

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Anything that does not cost more than $2,560.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided that Nikita is spending money that she had invested and the amount she collected over the period of 7 years. She can buy any item that costs no more than $2,560.00 but how?

It is a problem of simple interest:

Here the principal amount (P) = $2,000.00

Interest rate (r) = 4%

Time period (t) = 7 years

So, total amount that she would get by the end of 7 years is:

$A=P+SI$

$SI=\frac{P\times r\times t}{100}$

Plugging the values we get:

$SI=\frac{2000\times 4\times 7}{100}=560.00$

So the interest collected over 7 years is $560.00

Therefore, the total amount after 7 years is:

$\$2000.00+\$560.00=\$2,560.00$

If Nikita is using this money then the most expensive item that she could buy will cost no more than $2,560.00.
