Answer:

The Answer is: There are 8 small boxes and 9 large boxes. See explanation below for variables and variable definitions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = small boxes. Let b = large boxes.

s + b = 17

You can solve for s:

s = 17 - b

You can solve for b:

b = 17 - s

10 times the number of small boxes plus 24 times the number of large boxes is equal to 296 granola bars.

10s + 24b = 296

Substitute:

10(17 - b) + 24b = 296

170 - 10b + 24b = 296

14b = 296 - 170

14b =  126

b = 126 / 14 = 9 large boxes

Find the number of small boxes, s:

s = 17 - b = 17 - 9 = 8 small boxes

There are 8 small boxes and 9 large boxes.

Proof:

10(8) + 24(9) = 296

80 + 216 = 296

296 = 296

Your answer would be A because $4800 is your starting number and it increases 2% every year. How much is it in 20 years?

You use the formula ab^x
a is your starting number
b is the percentage
x is always the length of time

Since you are increasing and trying to get its worth larger than what it was before you use a number larger than one hundred percent in this case the number would be 1.02.


Y=4800(1.02)^20
Y=$7132.55

Dean put together first boxes for 5 of his neighbors. Each box cost $1.00 and contained a plant and a $3.00 pair of gardening gl
Scorpion4ik [409]
(5 Neighbors) x (($1.00 Box) + (? Plant) + ($3.00 Gloves)) = 42.50

5 x (1 + x + 3) = 42.50

Combine in parens.

5 x (4 + x) = 42.50

Distribute.

20 + 5x = 42.50

Subtract 20 from both sides.

5x = 22.50

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 4.50

Thats the cost of each plant.

Check.

5 x (1 + 4.50 + 3)

5 x 8.50 = 42.50
