Answer: The winning order is:

Spike

Boris

Percival.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the number of steps that each one did as linear relationships of the form:

y = a*x + b

where:

a represents the slope, in this case, is the velocity of each kid.

x represents the time

b represents the steep at which each one starts.

We know that the race is completed with 99 steps.

Now, we know that in one unit of time (we do not know how long this is, and this does not matter).

Boris can run 5 steps in one unit of time

Spike can run 4 steps in one unit of time

Percival can run 3 steps in one unit of time.

Now let's write the equations for each one.

B(x) will be Boris's equation, we know that he starts from the bottom, then his equation is:

B(x) = 5*x + 0

B(x) = 5*x

Now we can find the number x needed to reach the 99 step, this is:

B(x) = 99 = 5*x

99/5 = x = 19.8

Boris needs 19.8 units of time to finish the race.

S(x) will be the equation for Spike, we know that he starts 21 steps up, then his equation is:

S(x) = 4*x + 21

Let's find the value of x such that S(x) = 99

S(x) = 99 = 4*x + 21

99 - 21 = 4*x

78 = 4*x

78/4 = x = 19.5

So Spike needs 19.5 units of time to finish the race, so he needs less time than Boris, this means that he finishes before Boris.

P(x) is the equation for Percival, we know that he starts 38 steps up, then his equation is:

P(x) = 3*x + 38

Again, we want to find the value of x such that P(x) = 99

P(x) = 99 = 3*x + 39

99 - 38 = 3*x

61 = 3*x

61/3 = x = 20.33

So Percival needs 20.33 units of time to finish the race, he is the one that needs more time, so he will be the last one to finish.

The winning order is:

Spike

Boris

Percival.

Please help me answer this, I don't get what I'm supposed to do TvT
kompoz [17]

Answer:

You save 86 cents per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given problem, grocery store B charges chicken 5 pounds of chicken for $38.20. Consider finding the unit price:

To find the unit price of any item, do the following calculation:

Total Price / Total amount = $$$ per amount.

The unit price of store b is \frac{38.20}{5}=7.64 . In other words, every pound of chicken costs $7.64 at store b.

For store a, we are provided with a table. Given how the question is being asked, we should <u>expect a higher unit price</u>. We can take any charge to find the unit price since the price should be consistent no matter how many pounds you buy. I will calculate the first row:

\frac{12.75}{1.5}=8.5

In other words, every pound of chicken costs $8.50 at store a. <u>This price is higher</u>. You can verify this is the correct unit price by multiplying the unit price with any amount of pounds provided at the table. You should get the total cost.

So, now that we have both unit prices, we can calculate the difference to find out how much we save per pound when choosing store b:

8.50-7.64=0.86.

The perimeter of a square is 44 centimeters. what is its area?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Perimeter = 44cm

we know that square has 4 sides which are same

so perimeter means sum of all 4 sides

4 × s = 44cm

s = 11cm

Each side will be of 11cm.

Now area of square is Square of its side length.

so area = 11 × 11 = 121 cm^2
