Answer:

0.15x + 0.15y = 4.20

0.15 * 18 + 0.15y = 4.20

2.7 + 0.15y = 4.20

0.15y = 4.2 - 2.7

y = 1.5/0.15

$10

Answer: $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the price of the phone case is x.

Assume the price of the charging cord is y.

Discounted price for phone case : 15% * x

= 0.15x

Discounted price for charging cord = 0.15y

Expression is therefore:

0.15x + 0.15y = 4.20

0.15 * 18 + 0.15y = 4.20

2.7 + 0.15y = 4.20

0.15y = 4.2 - 2.7

y = 1.5/0.15

y = $10

1. A rabbit can hop 6 feet in 2 seconds and 12 feet in 4 seconds. If the number of feet varies directly with the time the rabbit

kykrilka [37]

Answer: The rabbit is hopping at 3 feet/ sec in speed

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let the The number of feet of the rabbit be expressed as N

AND time rabbit spends hopping can be expressed as t

From the question, The number of feet varies directly with the time rabbit spends hopping can be expressed as

N α t

Let us introduce a constant of proportionality ,S which represents speed in this case, we now have that

N = St

STEP 2 -- SOLVING

If the rabbit hop 6 feet in 2 seconds, Then speed =

N = St

6= S X2

S = 6/ 2

S = 3

also

If the rabbit hop 12 feet in 4 seconds, Then speed =

N = St

12= S X 4

S = 12/ 4

S = 3

Also recall

that Speed = Distance / time

Pluging the values in the first case,

speed = 6 feet/ 2 secconds = 3 feet/ seconds

in the second case

Speed= 12 feet/ 4 second s= 3 feet/ secs.
