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.

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

Answer:

9) y = -x + 5

10) y = -7/2x - 5

11) y = x - 1

12) y = -5x/3 - 3

13) y = -4x/1

I'm not 100% sure for some of these answers since the pic is a bit blurry, but they're pretty accurate.

Answer: Option 3 = 4

Step-by-step explanation: f(x) = 6 - 2x

f(0) = 6 - 2(0) Range = 6

f(2) = 6 - 2(2) Range = 2

f(4) = 6 - 2(4) Range = -2

f(6) = 6 - 2(6) Range = -6

f(8) = 6 - 2(8) Range = -10

The only one that doesn't belong is 4 option 3.

You're welcome!!

What is -15x=-240?????????
Vlad [161]
You divide -15 on both sides to keep the x alone
-240/ -15=16
A negative divided by a negative is a positive so x=16
