If we were to pit it in y=mx+b then for the first pack it answer up to -1.77 as to the second pack it is -1.63 the one with better one would of been the second pack.
But if we were to just do it as y2-y1 and x2-x1, when solving this should be how it looks 3.49 - .79 which equals 2.7 and 32 - 16 which equals 16. . . But this wouldn't help so I think the second package is the correct one.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{12\sqrt5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\-----------------\\\\-4\sqrt{15}\cdot\left(-\sqrt3\right)=4\sqrt{(15)(3)}=4\sqrt{5\cdot3\cdot3}=4\sqrt5\cdot\sqrt9\\\\=4\sqrt5\cdot3=12\sqrt5$

Miguel invests money in an account paying simple interest. He invests $170 and no money is added or removed from the investment.

$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill & \$185.30\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$170\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 185.30=170[1+(\frac{r}{100})(1)]\implies \cfrac{185.30}{170}=1+\cfrac{r}{100}\implies \cfrac{109}{100}=\cfrac{100+r}{100} \\\\\\ 109=100+r\implies \stackrel{\%}{9}=r$
