Hello there! An example problem for this could be:
Emile is looking for a cell-phone plan. His two options are one that costs $40 up front, and costs $0.01 per text, represented by x. The second one is 15 dollars up front and costs $0.06 for each text message. Emile figures that for the first package he has to send 500 texts or more to make it less than the second one.
Answer:
Best Buy 30% of 379.99=113.99
379.99-113.99=$266.00
Costco 15% 409.99=61.50
409.99-61.50=348.49
Target 25% of 399.99=99.99
399.99-99.99=300
Best Buy has the best offer.

Answer:
The desired divisor is n = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let that number be n. Then:
-15/56 -5
---------- = ---------
n 6
Through cross-multiplication we get:
(-15/56)*6 = -5n, which reduces to:
(-15)(7) = -5n, or 3(7) = n
The desired divisor is n = 21
Answer:
x = 3
y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
If △XPS ≅△DNF, their corresponding sides would be congruent. This implies that:
XP ≅ DN
PS ≅ NF
XS ≅ DF
Given that:
XP = 4y - 3
DN = 57
NF = 51
XS = 17x + 3
DF = 54
Therefore:
XP = DN
4y - 3 = 57 (Substitution)
Add 3 to both sides
4y = 57 + 3
4y = 60
Divide both sides by 4
y = 60/4
y = 15
Also,
XS = DF
17x + 3 = 54 (substitution)
Subtract 3 from each side
17x = 54 - 3
17x = 51
Divide both sides by 17
x = 51/17
x = 3
