The equation y = 1.55x + 110,419 approximates the total cost, in dollars, of raising a child in the United States from birth to

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The answer to your question is The cost to raise a child from birth to 17 years in a household is $194119.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

y = 1.55x + 110,419

Annual income = $54,000

To solve this problem just substitute the annual income and simplify to find the cost.

y = 1.55(54,000) + 110419

Simplify

y = 83700 + 110419

Result

y = $194119

There are nickels, dimes, quarters in a large piggy bank, for every 2 nickels there are 3 dimes, for every 2 dimes there are 5 q

Alex

There are 80 nickels and 120 dimes and 300 quarters in piggy bank

Solution:

Given that,

For every 2 nickels there are 3 dimes ,

So, ratio of nickel to dime will be 2 : 3

Also for every 2 dimes there are 5 quarters

So, ratio of dime to quarters is 2 : 5

Let us first find the ratio of nickles to dimes to quarters

nickel : dime = 2 : 3

dime : quarters = 2 : 5

$\frac{nickel}{dime} = \frac{2}{3}$

$nickel = \frac{2}{3} dime$

$\frac{dime}{quarter} = \frac{2}{5}$

$quarter = \frac{5}{2}dime$

So,

$nickel : dime : quarter = \frac{2}{3}dime : dime : \frac{5}{2}dime\\\\nickel : dime : quarter = \frac{2}{3} : 1 : \frac{5}{2}\\\\nickel : dime : quarter = 4 : 6 : 15$

Thus nickel : dime : quarters = 4 : 6 : 15

Now, let the number of nickel be 4x

Let the number of dimes be 6x

Let the number of quarters be 15x

From given question,

There are 500 coins in all.

number of nickel + number of dimes + number of quarters = 500

4x + 6x + 15x = 500

25x = 500

x = 20

Thus,

number of nickel = 4x = 4(20) = 80

number of dimes = 6x = 6(20) = 120

number of quarters = 15x = 15(20) = 300

Thus there are 80 nickels and 120 dimes and 300 quarters in piggy bank

Write the expression in factored form. 81m^2-49

ivolga24 [154]

We can use the difference of two squares, which is:

x^2 + y^2 = (x-y)(x+y)

So,

(9m-7)(9m+7)

Hope this helps!
