9514 1404 393

Answer:

  367.92

Step-by-step explanation:

72 = 9·8

In order for the total cost to be divisible by both 8 and 9, it must meet a couple of requirements:

  • The sum of the digits must be divisible by 9.
  • The last three digits must be divisible by 8.

In order for the sum of digits to be divisible by 9, the first and last digits must total 5 or 14. (The total of existing digits is 22. The sum needs to be 27 or 36.)

In order for the last three digits to be divisible by 8, the last digit must be 2*. So, the first digit must be 5-2=3.

The first digit is 3; the last digit is 2.

The total cost is 367.92. Each item price is 367.92/72 = $5.11.

_____

* 790/8 = 98.75, so (790 + 2)/8 will be 99. <em>792</em> is the only number starting with <em>79</em> that is divisible by 8.

What is an equation of the line containing the points (-1,5) and (3,9)​
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

  y = x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find an equation by using the 2-point form of the equation for a line:

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·(x -x1) +y1

Filling in the given values, we have ...

  y = (9 -5)/(3 -(-1))·(x -(-1)) +5

  y = (4/4)(x +1) +5 . . . . simplifying a bit

  y = x +6
