2. The current cost of gourmet coffee is $14 per pound. At the corner market

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dominik [7]3 years ago

Answer:

<u>The cost two years ago = $11.57</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is

what did a pound of gourmet coffee beans cost two years ago?

So, let the cost two years ago = x

The cost has increased 10% per year

so, the cost one year ago = x + 10% of x = x + 0.1 x = 1.1 x

So, the current cost = 1.1 x + 10% of 1.1 x = 1.1 x + 0.1 * 1.1 x = 1.21 x

But given the current cost = $14

∴ 1.21 x = 14

∴ x = 14/1.21 = 11.57

So, <u>the cost two years ago = $11.57</u>

Please help please !!!
Kobotan [32]
<h3>Answer:  12</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

You can use the AAS (angle angle side) theorem to prove that triangle ABD is congruent to triangle CBD.

From there, we can then say that AD and DC are the same length

AD = DC

3y+6 = 5y-18

3y-5y = -18-6

-2y = -24

y = (-24)/(-2)

y = 12

Part A: Marguerite rented a truck at $125 for 2 days. If she rents the same truck for 5 days, she has to pay a total rent of $27
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

y = 50x+25

f(x) = 50x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope intercept form of the equation, y = mx+b

where x is the amount per day and b is the flat fee

2 days

125 = 2x+b

5 days

275 = 5x+b  

Subtract

275 = 4x+b  

125 = 2x+b

---------------------

150 = 3x

Divide by 3

150/3 = 3x/3

50 =x

The cost per day is 50 dollars

y = 50x +b

Using the data for 2 days

125 = 50*2 +b

125 = 100 +b

125-100 = b

b = 25

The equation is y = 50x+25

f(x) = 50x+25

To graph, The x axis is number of days and the y axis is total cost

The number of days starts with 0, which is the y intercept

Let x = 0, y =25

Using the slope, we go 50 up and 1 to the right ( 50 dollars per day)

The next point plotted ins ( 1,50)

Draw a straight line
