Total purchase = (unit cost)(# of pounds purchased)
Here, that total is ($0.98/lb)(3.5 lb) = $3.43 (answer)
Answer:
114,400 and 118,976.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent this using a function. Let's let:
represent the total population, and
represent the total number of years since last year.
We know that the population grows by 4% every year or 0.04 every year. This is exponential growth. We can write this as:

Note that the coefficient is 110000 because that is the year we are starting with. Also, note that it is 1.04 because we are essentially adding .04 to the original population.
Anyways, to find the present population, set y equal to 1 (because 1 year after last year is the present year)

The present population is 114,400 people.
For next year, set y equal to 2 (2 years after last year is next year)>

The population next year will be 118,976 people.
Answer:
2x^2 -3x +10
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x^2 + 5) − 3(x + 1) + 3
Distribute
2x^2 +10 -3x -3 +3
Combine like terms
2x^2 -3x +10 -3+3
2x^2 -3x +10
Answer:
178 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Eric has driven d miles.
As the rate of charge of driving the truck = 76 cents /mile
So, the charge of driving the truck for d miles = 76d cents= $0.76d
The base fee of the truck was $16.95.
Total money paid at the time of returning the truck = $152.23
So, 16.95+0.76d=152.23
0.76d= 152.23-16.95=135.28
d=135.28/0.76
d=178
Hence, he drives 178 miles.
