No it is not always a rate that was easy
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial price be x
<u>Then the reduced price is </u>
<u>If 5 mugs cost $28.20, we have equation:</u>
- (x - 1.75)*5 = 28.20
- x - 1.75 = 28.20/5
- x - 1.75 = 5.64
- x = 1.75 + 5.64
- x = 7.39
Initial price for 1 mug was $7.39
1. ratio = 2 c of dressing / 4 lb of vegetables
Use two variables: d for the number of c of dressing and v for the number of pounds of vegetables.
Then d / v = 2/4 = 1/2 => d = v/2
Now you can make a table
v d
2 1
4 2
6 3
8 2
And you can draw a line for the points (2,1); (4,2); (6,3), (8,4) ... the slope of the graph is the ratio = 1/2
b) I already did it above as part ot the explanation: d/v = 1/2
X=4
This is because
(4)3-2=10
12-2=10
10=10
This makes the statement true!
Hope this helps have a good day!
