Answer:

Cleanser that costs 50 cents is 1400 liters, Cleanser that costs 80 cents is 600 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using <em>simultaneous equations</em>:

  1. Let us express the question in terms of equations

Let a be cleanser at 50 cents and let b be the cleanser at 80 cents.

Equation 1: 0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)

Equation 2: a + b = 2000

From equation 2, a = 2000 - b (Let's call this equation 3)

    2. Substituting equations 2 and 3 in Equation 1:

0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)

0.5(2000 - b) + 0.8b = 0.59(2000)

1000 - 0.5b + 0.8b = 1180

0.3b = 180

b = 600

Substitute in equation 3:

a = 2000 - 600

a = 1400

As a note, I formed equation 1 because I know for a fact the cost per liter of a and b. I also know it is sold at 0.59 cents per liter. We are selling 2000 liters in this instance, therefore 0.59(2000) = 1180, which in this case is the selling price.

Please help it would be much appreciated!

Answer:

Part a) Option d

Part b) Option a

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

if we look at the options given and the data available

Option a) x^4+9

Putting x= 2 we get (2^4) + 9 =25

Putting x= 3 we get (3^4) + 9 =90 but f(x) =125 so not correct option

Option b) (4^x)+9

Putting x= 2 we get (4^2) + 9 =25

Putting x= 3 we get (4^3) + 9 =73 but f(x) =125 so not correct option

Option c) x^5

Putting x= 2 we get (2^5)  =32 but f(x) =25 so not correct option

Option d) 5^x

Putting x= 2 we get (5^2)  =25

Putting x= 3 we get (5^3)  =125

Putting x= 4 we get (5^4)  =625

So Option d is correct.

Part (b)

3(2)^3x

can be solved as:

=3(2^3)^x

=3(8)^x

So, correct option is a
