An office supply company ordered 24 cartons of specialty paper. The regular price for a carton of specialty paper is $6.88. They

received a discount of $1.75 off each carton. About how much money will the office supply company need to pay for the paper? Which of the expressions gives a reasonable estimate of the answer? A. $5 × 25 B. $6 × 25 C. $7 × 20 D. $9 × 30

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

In the data set below, which of these points is most likely and outlier?
shusha [124]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: D is the correct answer.

                 D.  (2,54)

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that an outlier of a data set is the value that stands out of the rest of the data point i.e. either it is a too high value or a too low value as compared to other data points.

Here  we are given a set of data points as:

         (2,54)

          (4,7)

         (6, 9)

         (8,12)

         (10,15)

Hence, we see that the output values i.e. 7 in (4,7) ; 9 in (6,9) ; 12 in (8,12) and 15 in (10,15) are closely related.

Hence, the data point that is an outlier is:

                  (2,54)

(As 54 is a much high value as compared to other)

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

So we have the equation:

2x+3y=1470

To change into the slope-intercept form, we need to isolate the y-variable. Thus, subtract 2x from both sides:

(2x+3y)-2x=(1470)-2x

The left side cancels:

3y=1470-2x

Now, divide both sides by 3. The left side cancels:

(3y)/3=(-2x+1470)/3\\y=-\frac{2}{3} x+490

The slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Thus, the slope is -2/3 and the y-intercept is 490.

2)

So, since we already know the y-intercept is 490, plot a point at (0,490).

The slope is too small to use. Thus, multiply the fraction by 100. It is now (-200/300). This means that we move <em>down</em> 200 for every 300 (recall that the slope means rise over run. Thus, we move down 200 for every 300 to the right). Thus, another possible point would be (0+300,490-200) or (300,290). Plot that. Then, connect them.

3)

To write in in function notation, simply substitute the y-variable for the function notation. Our independent variable here is x so we'll use that.

y=-\frac{2}{3}x+490\\ f(x)=-\frac{2}{3}x+490

This means that for every x sandwiches made, there is f(x) wraps made for the total sum to be $1,470.

For example, if 105 sandwiches were made, then f(105)=-2/3(105)+490=420 wraps were made for the total profit to be $1,470.

4)

Please refer to the attached graph.

5)

First, since the total profit has now increased, the graph above and to the right of the old graph. This is because Sal needs to sell more sandwiches and wraps. Likewise, because of this, the x- and y-intercepts will also be different. Nevertheless, if converted into the slope-intercept equation, the slope will remain the same.

A box contains 3 plain pencils and 1 pen. A second box contains 4 color pencils and 4 crayons. One item from each box is chosen
9966 [12]
Well, the chances are 3 to 1 in the first question, because there are three pencils and only one pen. In the second box it is a 50-50 chance that you will pick a crayon, because there are equal amounts of colored pencils and crayons in the second box. The numbers that I gave you aren't the fractions though. See if you can go from here.
