+3°C
an increase in temperature is denoted by +
- 7 + 10 = +3C
This question is actually a lot simpler than it seems
for a quarter think about money - a quarter is 25 cents or 1/4 of a dollar - so 1 and a quarter yard in decimal form is equivalent to 1.25
now you need to find how many 1 and a quarter yards are in 3 yards - to do this you simply divide 3 by 1.25
3/1.25 = 2.4
so julie can cut 2.4 1 and a quarter long pieces from the string

Answer:
p(x) = 0.85x
t(x) = 1.065x
(t o p)(x) = 0.9x
$2700
Step-by-step explanation:
If the marked price is $x, then the function p(x) that gives the price of the riding lawn mower after 15% discount will be

where x is the marked price.
Now, the function that gives the total cost with sales tax will be given by

where x is the discounted price.
Therefore, the composite function that gives the total cost of the riding lawn mower on sale is given by
(t o p)(x) = 1.065(0.85x) = 0.9x ............ (1)
where x is the marked price.
If the marked price x = $3000, then Mr. Rivera has to pay for the riding lawn mower, from equation (1),
(t o p)(3000) = 0.9 × 3000 = 2700 dollars. (Answer)
