Answer:

$18.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Kate had a sum of money,she spent 1/8 of the money on a skirt and the remaining amount on a handbag

let the total money be x

so  mathematically

x-1/8*x= 16

solve for x

x-x/8= 16

8x-x/8= 16

7x/8=16

cross multiply

7x= 8*16

7x=128

divide both sides by 7

x=128/7

x=$18.28

(TIMED),<br> Which equation is represented in the graph?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

y = e^x

Step-by-step explanation:

That curve represents a typical function of y = e^x, and to decide if it is y = e^x or y = e^x + 1 you need to replace x = 0

y = e^(0) = 1

y = e^(0) + 1 = 2

If you see the graph when x = 0, y = 1

So it is y = e^x

So,

x = \dfrac{774.3}{1.45}\\\\x = 534\ boxes

Therefore, they have to sell 534 more boxes.

Hence, this is the required solution.
