Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of 5 - pound box of detergent = $3.50

Cost of 15 - pound box of detergent = $10.00

Number of loads can wash 5-pound box of detergent = 20

Number of loads can wash 15-pound box of detergent = 20\times 3=60

For 60 loads to be washed in 15 pound box of detergent costs $10.00

For 60 loads to be washed in 5 pound box of detergent costs

3.50\times 3\\\\=\$10.50

So, total saving while using 15 pound box of detergent is given by

10.50-10.00\\\\=\$0.50

So, total saving per load would be

\dfrac{0.50}{60}=\$0.008=0.8\ cents

Hence, option 'B' is correct.

Answer. Option  B. 0.8 cents.


Solution:

With a 5-pound box of detergent will wash 20 loads of laundry, then with a 15-pound box (5*3) of detergent will wash 20*3=60 loads of laundry, and you would pay $10.00.

To wash 60 loads of laundry with 5-pound box, you would need three 5-pound box, and you would pay $3.50*3=$10.50.


Then you would save in total $10.50-$10.00=$0.50

And per load, you would save: $0.50/60=$0.008=0.008*100 cents=0.8 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the difference is d=25-8=42-25=17;

the sequence given in the condition is arithmetic one (linear relationship).

2) in order to calculate the value of the 82d term:

a(n)=a(1)+d*(n-1), where n - number of required term (it is 82), then

a(82)=8+17*(82-1)=8+1377=1385.

David wants to hang a mirror in his room. The mirror and frame must have an area of 8 square feet. The mirror is 2 feet wide and
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Represent the thickness of the frame by x. Framing the mirror will increase both its length and width by 2x. The area of the mirror with the frame is the product of the length and width which can mathematically be expressed as,
                                 
                                                A = (3 + 2x)(2 +2x) = 8

The equation above can be simplified into 4x^2 + 10x -2 = 0. This equation can still be further simplified by dividing it by 2. However, it will give an answer which is not found on the choices. Thus, the answer is the third choice.

A store offers a 15% discount on all items in the store during a sale. All store employees get an additional 10% employee discou
Katarina [22]
0.765 (100) + .06 (.0765 x 100)
76.5  + .06 (76.5)  
76.5 + 4.59 = 81.09    Chris will pay $81.09

A better way ( if you don't care to know the tax just the bottom line of what it will cost) would be to do:

0.765x x 1.06 = 76.5 x 1.06 = $81.09 too.

Why the 1 in front of the .06?  The one includes the price of the coat so you don't have to add the tax on after.
Think about it like this. When you buy something you pay (even with an employee 
discount) for all of it (100%) + the tax (in this case, it's 6%)  So you pay 106% of the cost of the item.  106% = 1.06
