There are no real numbers that can do that job.
There's a pair of complex numbers that can do it.
They are
4.5 + i23.23
and
4.5 - i23.23 .
' i ' = the imaginary unit = √(-1)
Answer:
They need to wash 72 cars
Step-by-step explanation:
2000 - 1640 = 360
360/5 = 72
The independent variable is x
y is dependent on the value of x
In each case divide the price by the number of cans.
The best buy is the lowest price.
$12.53/7 = $1.79
$5.97/3 = $1.99
$7.95/5 = $1.59
$8.34/6 = $1.39
The fourth ad, $8.34 for 6 cans results in the lowest price per can, $1.39.
The fourth ad is the best buy.
To do it without a calculator:
10% of 67 is 6.7
6.7 x 8 is 53.6 (80%)
1% of 67 is .67
53.6 - .67 is 52.93 (79%)
