Based on the two different purchases, you can write equations for the price of a hotdog (h) and that of a drink (d). These equations can be solved by your favorite method to find the individual prices.
... 6h +4d = 17.00 . . . . . . Carl's purchase
... 3h +4d = 12.50 . . . . . . Susan's purchase
We can see that the difference in purchase cost (of $4.50) is due entirely to the difference in the number of hotdogs (3). Thus, the price of a hotdog must be
... $4.50/3 = $1.50
The 4 drinks are then ($12.50 -4.50) = $8, so must be $2 each. You don't need to figure the cost of a drink to determine that the appropriate answer choice is ...
... D. $1.50 for a hot dog; $2.00 for a drink.
Answer:
x = 1/18
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3x = 12
multiply both sides by 3x
2/3x(3x) = 12(3x)
2 = 36x
x = 1/18
Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yintercept
given
y=-2x+3 and
y=-4x-1
first equation is slope -2 and yintercept 3
second is slope -4 and yintercept -1
3rd option
Answer:
7p−q−12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Account A: Decreasing at 8 % per year
Account B: Decreasing at 10.00 % per year
Account B shows the greater percentage change
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: Percent change from exponential formula
f(x) = 9628(0.92)ˣ
The general formula for an exponential function is
y = ab^x, where
b = the base of the exponential function.
if b < 1, we have an exponential decay function.
ƒ(x) decreases as x increases.
Account A is decreasing each year.
We can rewrite the formula for an exponential decay function as:
y = a(1 – b)ˣ, where
1 – b = the decay factor
b = the percent change in decimal form
If we compare the two formulas, we find
0.92 = 1 - b
b = 1 - 0.92 = 0.08 = 8 %
The account is decreasing at an annual rate of 8 %.The account is decreasing at an annual rate of 10.00 %.
Account B recorded a greater percentage change in the amount of money over the previous year.
