Answer: A. $5 × 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of cartons of specialty paper ordered = 24 cartons

Regular price for a carton = $6.88

Discount given off each carton = $1.75

Hence,

Discounted price per carton = $(6.88 - 1.75) = $5.13

Actual amount to be paid for the order :

Discounted price * number of cartons to be ordered

$5.13 * 24

Hence, a reasonable estimate will be :

$5.13 = $5( nearest whole number)

24 can be rounded to 25 (this covers for the $0.13 on the discounted cost per carton)

Reasonable estimate :

$5 × 25

Answer:

The answer is  A. $5 × 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total number of cartons is 24

the price per carton originally is $6.88

the discount is $1.75

hence the company will have to pay 6.88-1.75= $5.13

hence the price per carton upon removal of the discount is  $5.13

for all 24 cartons, the company will have to pay 24*5.13  

A reasonable estimate from the given option is  

A. $5 × 25

The balance in a savings account at the end of each year is shown below. The year is denoted by n, and the account balance is
vovangra [49]

Answer:

A(n) = 100(1.1)^n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Account balance = A(n)

Compound interest paid = 10%

We need to obtain the initial amount deposited, that is A(n), when n = 0

In year, n = 1

Account balance, A(n) = $110

Let initial deposit = P

Hence,

Compound interest relation should be ;

A(n) = P(1 + r)^n

Plugging in our values

110 = P(1 + 0.1)^1

110 / P = 1.1^1

110/P = 1.1

110 = 1.1P

P = 110 / 1.1

P = 100

Hence, we can define the amount paid inn n years by substuting the value of P into the compound interest formula :

A(n) = 100(1 + 0.1)^n

A(n) = 100(1.1)^n

The points (3,10) and (5,t) fall on a line with a slope of -4 what t value
Elenna [48]

Answer:

t=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by  

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)


We have points (3,10) and (5,t) and the slope is -4

Substituting these in

-4 = (t-10)/ (5-3)

Simplifying

-4 = (t-10) / 2

Multiply by 2 on both sides

-4 = (t-10) / 2 *2

-8 = t-10

Add 10 on both sides

-8+10 = t-10+10

2 = t

Find a equation for the slope 3/2 and Y intercept -1
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{3}{2}x-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em> - <em>y-intercept</em>

We have

m=\dfrac{3}{2},\ b=-1

Substitute:

y=\dfrac{3}{2}x+(-1)=\dfrac{3}{2}x-1

What is the area of this figure?
coldgirl [10]
Answer: 102

-----------------------------------------------

We'll use the formula 
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
where
A = area of trapezoid
h = height
b1 & b2 are the parallel bases

In this case,
b1 = 6+7 = 13
b2 = 21
h = 6

Making the area to be
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 6*(13+21)/2
A = 6*(34)/2
A = 204/2
A = 102

Side Note: We don't use the slanted side of 10 cm at all
