Last year, a property manager bought seven identical snow shovels and nine identical bags of salt. The total cost of the snow sh

ovels was $241.50, before tax, and each bag of salt cost $6.20, before tax. This year, the property manager bought 3 identical snow shovels and six identical bags of salt. The total cost of the snow shovels was $105.57, before tax, and the total cost of the bags of salt was $39.06, before tax. Determine the item with the greatest percent increase in the price from last year. Be sure to include the percent increase for this time to the nearest percent.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to approach this shall be:

( Final price - Initial price )/ Final price × 100/1 ............. 1

Hence for the snow shovels

Initial price = $241.50 for 7

Each will cost = $241.50/7

= $34.5

Final price for snow shovels

= $105.57 for 3 shovels

Each will cost = $105.57/3

= $35.19

Now considering the bags of salt

Initial price = $6.20 each

Final price = $39.06 for 6 bags

Each bag cost = $39.06/6

= $6.51

Now apply the formula in equation (1)

For snow shovels

($35.19- $34.5)/$34.5 × 100/1

= 0.69/34.5 × 100/1

= 0.02×100/1

= 2%

For bags of salt

($6.51-$6.20)/$6.20 ×100/1

0.31/6.20×100/1

0.05×100/1

= 5%

Hence from the above solution, we can now deduce that shovel increased by 2% while bags of salt went up by 5%.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2,−5) and is parallel to the line 2y=3x+10
LenaWriter [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide two on both sides to get rid of it and the make the equation in the form y = mx + c

\frac{2}{2} y = \frac{3}{2} x +  \frac{10}{2}

y = 3/2x + 5

since both lines are parallel they must have the same gradient which is 3/2

y = 3/2x + c

All you have to do now is to replace x and y with (2, -5) to find c

x = 2

y = -5

-5 = 3/2 × 2 + c

-5 = 3 + c

c = -5-3

c = -8

y  = \frac{3}{2} x  - 8

Roger has $2, $1 and 50 cent pieces in the ratio of 5:4:2. If 30 of roger’s coins are 50 cent pieces, how many $2 coins and $1 c
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So the ratio is 5:4:2

there are 11 parts to this ratio (5+4+2)

the 5 is for the $2, the 4 is for the $1 and the 2 is for the 50 cents

he has 30 of the 50 cents

so you divide 30 by 2 to get one part of this ratio

1 part of this ratio is equal to 15 coins

multiply 15 by 5 to get the number of $2 coins: 75

multiply 15 by 4 to get the number of $1 coins: 60

add all of those parts together

30+60+75 = 165

If he uses a $1 coin to buy the sundae he will have 75 $2 coins and 59 $1 coins left

however, if he uses two 50 cents coins to buy the sundae he will have 75 $2 coins and 60 $1 coins left
