Answer
3.2
Step-by-step explanation
8% of 40 is 3.2
so it would be 40- 3.2 and that = 36.8
Assuming we are rounding to the nearest 100, five numbers that could be rounded up to 600 are:
550, 567, 579, 580, 599
And five numbers that could be rounded down to 600 are:
601, 610, 625, 630, 649
Answer:
y=6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line with slope 2 is y=2x+b, b is a constant which should be determined. The line passes via through points (1, 2) and (3,y)
(1, 2): 2=2+b --> b=0
So, the equation of the line is y=2x. Now, when x=3, y=6. So the line y=2x passes through points (1, 2) and (3, 6). (3,y)=(3, 6).
Answer:
Cost of 1 rose bush = x = $5
Cost of 1 geraniums = y = $2
Step-by-step explanation:
DeShawn and Mike each improved their yards by planting rose bushes and geraniums. They bought their supplies from the same store.
Let us represent:
Cost of 1 rose bush = x
Cost of 1 geraniums = y
DeShawn spent $13 on 1 rose bush and 4 geraniums.
x + 4y = 13..... Equation 1
x = 13 - 4y
Mike spent $56 on 10 rose bushes and 3 geraniums.
10x + 3y = 56....... Equation 2
We substitute 13 - 4y for x in Equation 2
10(13 - 4y) + 3y = 56
130 - 40y + 3y = 56
Collect like terms
- 40y + 3y = 56 - 130
-37y = -74
y = -74/37
y = $2
Solving for x
x = 13 - 4y
x = _13 - 4 × $2
x = $13 - $8
x = $5
Therefore,
Cost of 1 rose bush = x = $5
Cost of 1 geraniums = y = $2
Answer: they are both the same fraction
