<h3>Answer:    17.25 dollars</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

15% of 15 = 0.15*15 = 2.25

The cost has increased by $2.25 which means the cost per kilogram is now 15+2.25 = 17.25 dollars

------------

As a slight shortcut, we can multiply the old cost (15) by the multiplier 1.15 to get the same result:

1.15*15 = 17.25

This method allows us to chain together many percentage increases, and it also allows us to include percentage decreases as well. Note how 1.15 is basically the result of 100% + 15% = 1.00+0.15 = 1.15

Flauer [41]
Bea has $550 more money than Alessandro after 12 months.
Explanation:
So let start with writing the equation for Alessandro money. So we know that the current amount in his/her bank account has $2,400 and she saves $250 per month. So the equation that best fit these terms is:
y
=
250
x
+

Bea has $1,750 in his/her bank account and saves $350 per month. So the equation that best fit these terms is:
y
=
350
x
+

,
750
So for x for both of these equations is 12. So let plug the number in

after 12 months
So subtracting $5950 and 5400 gives us a $550

Cindy and Zoey work at a store. Both girls earn $6.25 per hour
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this is your full question, right?

<em>Cindy and Zoey work at a store. Both girls earn $6.25 per hour. During a normal week Cindy works 15 hours and  Zoey works 20 hours. The expression 6.25(15) + 6.25(20) can be used to calculate the total amount of money that the  girls earned in one week. Which expression shows another way to calculate the amount of money the girls earn in  one week?  </em>

My answer:

The expression shows another way must be equal to: <em>6.25(15) + 6.25(20)  </em>

<=> 6.25 (15+20)

Because both girls earn the same per hour.
