The number of items (N) that can be purchased for a given amount of money is inversely proportional to the cost (C) of an item.

If 480 items can be purchased when the cost per item is $4.90, how many items can be purchased when the cost per item is $5.40? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

436 items

Step-by-step explanation:

When a quantity A is inversely proportional to another quantity B, we can write:

A=\frac{k}{B}

Where k is the proportionality constant  [that we need to find]

For this problem, we can write the ratio as:

N=\frac{k}{C}

Now given N = 480 and C = 4.90, we first find k:

N=\frac{k}{C}\\480=\frac{k}{4.90}\\k=4.90*480\\k=2352

Now, as second step, we need this time to find N, when

C = 5.40

Note, we know know k = 2352, so we find N:

N=\frac{k}{C}\\N=\frac{2352}{5.40}\\N=435.55

Rounding to next whole number, we have 436 items

What is the key difference between the graph of a linear relationship and the graph of a nonlinear relationship?
kakasveta [241]
<span>The main key difference between the graph of a linear relationship and the graph of a nonlinear relationship are linear relationship is the relation between variables which creates a straight line when spotted on a cartesian plane and linear relations have constant slope always.The key difference between the graph of an exponential relationship and the graph of a quadratic relationship is exponential relation is a mathematical function of the following form: f ( x ) = a x. where x is a variable, and a is a constant called the base of the function but quadratic relationship of the graph is the the standardized form of a quadratic equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0,.</span>

Suppose that grade point averages of undergraduate students at one university have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 2.6
sergey [27]

Answer:

Below.

= 99.7%

= 100 - 99.7%/2

= 0.3/2

= 0.15%

100% - 0.15%

= 99.85%

I need the ordered pairs for <br> y-3x&lt;10
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

(0, 5) and (5,0) are two possibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is an infinite number of ordered pairs that satisfy your inequality.

To help you pick some ordered pairs, you could plot the inequality (see the graph below).

Any point within the shaded area is a solution.

Pick an ordered pair, insert it into the equation, and check if the inequality is true.

Here are two examples.

<em>For (5, 0</em>):

0 – 3×5 < 10

   0 - 15 < 10

       -15 < 10     True

<em>For (0, 5)</em>:

5 – 3×0 < 10

   5 – 0 < 10

         5 < 10     <em>True </em>

The ordered pairs (0, 5) and (5,0) are part of the solution set of the equation y – 3x < 10.
