The quadratic formula is...
your a will be in front of your x^2, b in front of your x, and c will be the number without an x. Plug those into the equation and you'll get two answers. That will be it
<em>They took 101 peaches to market.</em>
<u>Check:</u>
In the 1st hour, they sold (101/2 + 1/2) = 102/2 = 51. They had 50 left.
In the 2nd hour, they sold (50/3 + 1/3)=51/3=17. They had (50-17)=33 left.
In the 3rd hour, they sold (33/4 + 3/4) = 36/4 = 9. They had (33-9) = 24 left.
In the final hour, they sold (24/5 + 1/5) = 25/5 = 5. They had (24-5) = 19 left. yay!
Fiona and Camilla took their 19 remaining peaches and went home. Sharing with
their parents and their brother Rowlf, each person had 3.8 peaches for dinner.
There was a lot of activity in the bathroom overnight.
================================================
The key to solving this one is to work it backwards.
-- They had 19 peaches left at the end of the day.
-- During the final hour, the 1/5 of a peach that they sold left them with 19,
so they had 19-1/5 before they sold the 1/5 of a peach.
The 19-1/5 was 4/5 of what they had at the beginning of the final hour.
So, at the beginning of the final hour, they had (5/4)x(19.2) = 24 .
-- During the 3rd hour, the 3/4 of a peach that they sold left them with 24,
so they had 24-3/4 before they sold the 3/4 of a peach.
The 24-3/4 was 3/4 of what they had at the beginning of that hour.
So, at the beginning of the 3rd hour, they had (4/3)x(24.75) = 33 .
Do the same for the 2nd hour.
Then do the same for the 1st hour.
And you'll work your way back up to 101 peaches.
Answer:
heyyyyy !!!!! whats the question????? ......
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4.5 = 4 1/2 = 9/2
They will make the same amount after 10 phones sold. Before that Plan A is the better plan. After 10, Plan B is the better plan.
You can find the point of intersection by modelling the two equations and setting them equal to each other. If x is equal to phones sold:
250 + 25x = 50x
250 = 25x
10 = x
Therefore, you make the same at 10 phones.
