Well determine the cost of one lb. To do that divide $19.50 by 15. This gives you $1.30 per lb. Multiply this by 12 1/2 to get your answer. This is $16.25

There are 2 ways to do this....

(1) find the unit rate....19.50 / 15 = 1.30 per lb.
for 12 1/2 (or 12.5) lbs = 1.30 * 12.5 = 16.25 <===

(2) proportion...
15 / 19.50 = 12.5 / x...15 lbs to 19.50 = 12.5 lbs to x
 cross multiply
 (15)(x) = (19.5)(12.5)
  15x = 243.75
 x = 243.75 / 15
x = 16.25 <==

What are the solution(s) to the quadratic equation 50 – x2 = 0?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

x = ±5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the quadratic equation;

50-x^{2}=0

The first step is to subtract 50 from both sides of the equation;

50-x^{2}-50=0-50

-x^{2}=-50

Multiplying both sides by -1 yields;

x^{2}=50

The final step is to obtain square roots on both sides;

\sqrt{x^{2} }=\sqrt{50}\\x=+/-\sqrt{50}

Therefore, x = ±5\sqrt{2}
