Answer:

C. The cost of a box of cereal

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we are given the number of 3 boxes of cereal, 2 loaves of bread, and that the total cost is $15. We can see these numbers in the equation, and putting it into context, we see that the 15 is on the right side of the equation, which indicates cash. Therefore, the 3 and 2 are accounted for, but their prices are unknown. X is a placeholder for the unidentified cost of a box of cereal, and we know that it's the boxes of cereal and not the loaves of bread because there are 3 and not 2.

The table lists how poverty level income cutoffs (in dollars) for a family of four have changed over time. Use the midpoint for

frez [133]

The poverty level cutoff in 1987 to the nearest dollar was $10787.

<h3>How to find a midpoint?</h3>

The midpoint as the point that divides the line segment exactly in half having two equal segments. Therefore, the midpoint presents the same distance between the endpoints for the line segment. The midpoint formula is: $\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)$ .

For solving this exercise, first you need plot the points in a chart. See the image.

Your question asks to approximate the poverty level cutoff in 1987 to the nearest dollar using the midpoint formula. Note that the year 1987 is between 1980 and 1990, thus you should apply the midpoint formula from data for this year (1987).

$\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(1980,8429),\:\left(1990,13145):\quad \left(\frac{1990+1980}{2},\:\:\frac{13145+8429}{2}\right)\\\\ \\$

$\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(1980,8429)\:=\left(\frac{1990+1987}{2},\:\frac{13145+3843}{2}\right)\\ \\ =\left(\frac{3977}{2},\:\frac{21574}{2}\right)$

$\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(1980,8429)\:=\=(\frac{3977}{2},10787)$

The answer for your question will be the value that you calculated for the y-coordinate. Then, the poverty level cutoff in 1987 to the nearest dollar was $10787.

What is the number of the variable X?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x = -18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x-3}{3} = \frac{2x+1}{5} \\\\Cross \ Multiplying\\\\3(2x+1) = 5(x-3) \\\\Resolving \ Parenthesis\\\\6x+3 = 5x-15\\\\Combining \ like \ terms\\\\6x-5x = -15-3\\\\\bold{x = -18}$

At CVS, the tax paid was $2.45, which was 7% of the cost. What was the cost of the items purch

UNO [17]

'Percentage' is obtained by multiplying 2.45 by - 7%.

- 7% × 2.45 =

(- 7 ÷ 100) × 2.45 =

(- 7 × 2.45) ÷ 100 =

- 17.15 ÷ 100 =

- 0.1715 ≈

- 0.17;

<h2>How do we check the result?</h2>

If - 7% × 2.45 = - 0.1715 =>

Divide - 0.1715 by 2.45...

... And see if we get as a result: - 7%.

100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 100% = 1

Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,

... and its value doesn't change.

n/100 = n%, any number.
