A cell phone plan charges $39.95 a month plus 15 cents per text message sent and 15 cents per text message received. Using s to

represent the number of text messages sent in one month and r to represent the number of text messages received in one month, the following equation can be used to calculate the total monthly cost, c:
c = 39.95 + 0.15(s + r)

If it is known that the total monthly cost is $53.45 and 63 text messages were received, solve for s, the total number of text messages sent.

Answer:

c= 39.95 +0.15 (s + r) (take the 63 received and plug it in for r and 53.45 in for c then solve)

53.45= 39.95 +0.15 (s +63) (use the distributive property)

53.45 = 39.95 + 0.15s + 9.45 (combine like terms on the right side)

53.45 = 49.40 +0.15s (subtract 49.40 from both sides)

4.05 = 0.15s (divide both sides by 0.15 so isolate s)

s= 27 (how many text messages were sent)

I hope this helps :)

A population of mice is increasing exponentially. On Monday there were 120 most. One month later there were 132 most. Ready func

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$y=120 * 1.1^x$ --- function

The monthly rate is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

$x \to months$

$y \to mice$

So, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ --- Monday

$(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ --- One month later

Required

The function

The function is represented as:

$y=ab^x$

In $(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ , we have:

$120 = a * b^0$

$120 = a * 1$

$120 = a$

$a=120$

In $(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ , we have:

$132 = a * b^1$

$132 = a * b$

Substitute: $a=120$

$132 = 120 * b$

Solve for b

$b = \frac{132}{120}$

$b = 1.1$

So, the function is:

$y=ab^x$

$y=120 * 1.1^x$

To calculate the monthly rate (r), we have:

$y =a(1 + r)^x$

Compare to: $y =ab^x$

$1 + r = b$

Make r the subject

$r = b-1$

Substitute $b = 1.1$

$r = 1.1-1$

$r = 0.1$

Express as percentage

$r = 0.1*100\%$

$r = 10\%$

Line CD contains points C(7, 4) and D(6, 1). Line JK is parallel to line CD. Which two points lie on line JK?

Andru [333]

From 6,1 to 7,4
We can determine the slope of the line
rise/run
3/1=3

Now we know the slope of the line, a line parallel to it must obtain the same slope, therefore, I tried to see if the increase in y is three times the increase in x
I found the true pair to be A

(-4,1) and (-2,7)

You flipped a coin 50 times and got 23 heads.What is the experimental probability of getting a head? Write your answer as a frac

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

23/50, 0.46, and 46%

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is stating that every fifty times you flip a coin you get 23 heads. Finding the fraction is simple, it would be 23/50 because it is expressing the probability. The problem clearly states that every 50 times you get 23 heads. To find the decimal, take the fraction, 23/50, and multiply the numerator and denominator by 2. you get 46/100 which is 0.46. A percent is just a fraction out of a 100 which would make the percent 46.
