Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of 1 scoop of ice cream. Since the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream are twice the price of 1 scoop of ice cream, therefore the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream = 2x

Jean buys 4 tubs with 2 scoops in them and 2 tubs with 1 scoop each. Therefore the money spent by Jean is:

Money spent by Jean = 4(2x) + 2(x) = 8x + 2x = 10x

Sarah buys 2 tubs of 2 scoops and 4 tubs of 1 scoop. The money spent by Sarah is:

Money spent by Sarah = 2(2x) + 4(x) = 4x + 4x = 8x

Sarah spends 2.50 € less than Jean. Therefore:

Money spent by Sarah = Money spent by Jean - 2.5

8x = 10x - 2.5

2x = 2.5

x = €1.25

Therefore the cost of 1 scoop of ice cream is €1.25, the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream is €2.50.

Money spent by Jean = 10x = 10(1.25) = €12.5

Money spent by Sarah = 8x = 8(1.25) = €10

Function 1 is defined by the equation y=2x+10
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

C. The functions have the same y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

In slope intercept form, y = mx + b, b represents the y-intercept, and in the first function the y-intercept is 10.

The y-intercept is when x = 0, and in the chart, when x equals 0, y equals 10.

10 = 10, so they have the same y-intercept.

$ 65 is marked up to $70.20
olganol [36]
You can work out the difference between the numbers by taking the smaller one away from the larger one:
70.20 - 65 = 5.20

Then you can divide the difference (5.20) by the original number (65) to get how many percent it is of 65 in decimal form:
5.20/65 = 0.08

Then you can times it by 100, to get the percentage:
0.08 * 100 = 8%

This means there was a 8% price increase in $65 to get to $70.20

Hope this helps! :)
