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 value of y varies directly with x2, and y = 150 when x = 5.<br> What is the value of y when x=3?
kow [346]
<span>The value of y when x=3 when the value of y varies directly with x^2, and y = 150 when x = 5 is 54. Since the value of y varies directly with x2, then: y = k * x^2, where k is constant. When y = 150 and x = 5, the value of constant is: 150 = k * 5^2. 150 = k * 25. k = 150/25. k = 6. Thus, when x = 3, the value of y will be: y = 6 * 3^2. y = 6 * 9. y = 54.</span>

<em>The cube root of real number is also real. The negative sign is outside he radical so it cannot result to an imaginary number.</em>

The function is a reflection of y =³√x . True

The function is always increasing. False

<em>When getting the cube root of a number the result is alway smaller. So the domain of the function should be decreasing not increasing.</em>

The function has a range of {y|– < y < } . False

The function passes through the point (3, –27) . False
