<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

\bf \textit{difference and sum of cubes} \\\\ a^3+b^3 = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2) ~\hfill a^3-b^3 = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \boxed{a^6+b^6}\implies a^{2\cdot 3}+b^{2\cdot 3}\implies (a^2)^3+(b^2)^3 \\[2em] [a^2+b^2] [(a^2)^2-a^2b^2+(b^2)^2]\implies \boxed{(a^2+b^2)(a^4-a^2b^2+b^4)}

about the second one... well, is a "fait accompli" that using the pythagorean theorem, if x = 8 and y = 5, the hypotenuse must be √(8² + 5²) = √(89), which is neither of those choices.

5, 8, 13 are no dice, namely 5² + 8² ≠ 13

25, 64, 17 is are no dice too, because 25² + 17² ≠ 64²

however, 5,12 and 13 are indeed a pythagorean triple

also is 39, 80, 89.

when looking for a pythagorean triple, recall that c² = a² + b².

so the longest leg is the sum of the square of the small ones.

so what you'd do is, check the small legs, square them, add them up, if they're indeed a pythagorean triple, they "must" add up to the longest leg.

player A led a baseball league in runs batted in for the 2006 regular season. player B. who came in second player to A, had 13 f
Alla [95]
A= player A runs batted in
b= player B runs batted in= a-13

250= a + b
substitute b= a-13 for b

250= a + (a-13)
combine like terms
250= 2a -13
add 13 to both sides
263= 2a
divide both sides by 2
131.5= a

Substitute a= 131.5 into equation
250= a + b
250= 131.5 + b
subtract 131.5 from both sides
118.5= b

Hope this helps! :)
