(a) If we let x be the number of miles and y be the total cost, the equation for relating the number of miles and the total cost would be,
y = 0.4x + 48
(b) If the rental cost is 60,
60 = 0.4x + 48
The value of x from the equation is 30.
(c) You may prepare the table of values by allowing x be any number and then solve for y until we arrive with an answer for y being equal to 60.
The answer is 15
Since 20 times 7 is 140 and 140+75 is 215
Take 215-200 you get 15
Find the least common denominator for all fractions: 12
3/4 = (3*3)/(4*3) = 9/12
1/6 = (1*2)/(6*2)
1/4 = (1*3)/(4*3)
Take the converted fractions to have the honey used taken away from the original total.
<span>57 boxes of detergent on the shelves in 2 minutes
</span><span>After 5 minutes, he had put 117 boxes on the shelves
117 - 57 = 60 (60 </span>boxes of detergent for 3 minutes)
60/3 = 20 (20 boxes of detergent per minute)
so
20 x 5 = 100 boxes of detergent
117 - 100 = 17 boxes
answer
17 boxes of detergent <span>were on the shelves when he started</span>
