Answer:

$1.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amount of ground pork =2 pounds and

the amount of ground beef =3.5 pounds.

Let the cost of ground pork= $x per pound

So, the cost of the 2 pounds pork = $2x

As the cost of ground beef per pound is $0.20 less than twice the cost of ground pork, so

the cost of ground beef =$ 2x-0.20 per pound

So, the cost of 3.5 pounds ground beef =$ 3(2x-0.20)

Total cost of meat = $15.05

\Righatarrow 2x +3(2x-0.20)=15.05

\Righatarrow 8x-0.60=15.05

\Rightarrow 8x=15.05-0.20=14.45

\Rightarrow x=14.95/8=1.87

Hence, the cost of ground pork= $1.87 per pound

The sales tax in your city is 8.8%, and an item costs $55 dollars before tax. How much would you pay for that item?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The answer is $ 59.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, I know this is not one of the options, but hear me out:

To find the sales tax for that item, you need to multiply the dollar amount by the sales tax (in percent):

$55 * 8.8% = $4.84

So the sales tax is $4.84.  However, the question asks "How much would you pay for that item?", not what the sales tax is.  So I would solve this problem by adding the sales tax to the dollar amount of the item:

$55 + $4.84 = $ 59.84

If you are able to write or type your answer, I would type $ 59.84. If you can only select one of the given values, then I would suggest going with             A: $ 4.84 just because its the only number that is actually relevant at all to the problem.

Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial below?
Julli [10]

Answer:

B. and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set the polynomial equal to zero:

x² + 5x + 7 = 0

2. Plug the given values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{5^{2}-4(1)(7) } }{2(1)}

3. Solve the square root:

x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{25-4(1)(7)} }{2(1)}

x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{25-28} }{2(1)}

x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{-3} }{2(1)}

4. Simplify the rest:

x=\frac{-5+-\sqrt{-3} }{2}

5. Separate the solutions:

x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{-3} }{2}  , x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{-3} }{2}

Thus, options B and C are the answers.

hope this helps!

A rectangle is 2 meters wide and 6 times as long as it is wide. Find the area and perimeter
Anna [14]

<u>PERIMETER</u>

Answer:

Answer is 28 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Breadth= 2m

Length= 2X6m

= 12m

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2X (Length+ Breadth)

= 2X (2+12)

= 2X14

= 28m

<u>AREA</u>

Answer:

Answer is 24 m

Explanation:

Length= 12

Breadth= 2

Area of a rectangle= Length X Breadth

= 12X2

= 24 sq. m

Hope it helps ;)
