Answer:
Using the estimate:
The car has to go for 1,200 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 30 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:
= 1,200 / 30
= 40 gallons
Each gallon costs $3.00 so the total cost is:
= 40 * 3
= $120
Without using the estimate:
The car has to go for 1,211 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 29 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:
= 1,211 / 29
= 41.76 gallons
Each gallon costs $3.40 so the total cost is:
= 41.76 * 3.40
= $141.98
<em>Using the estimate provides a lower cost of gasoline for the trip. </em>
Answer:
2,160 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
Large boxes = 12
Small boxes = 18
Each large box contains 144 pencils . Each small box contains 24 pencils
Total pencil in large boxes = Total large boxes × number of pencils per box
= 12 × 144
= 1,728 pencils
Total pencil in small boxes = Total small boxes × number of pencils per box
= 18 × 24
= 432 pencils
Estimate the total number of of pencils
Total number of pencils = total pencils in large boxes + total pencil in small boxes
= 1,728 pencils + 432 pencils
= 2,160 pencils
It is better to have an underestimate than an overestimate so that you won't disappoint your buyers when they request for a quantity of supply. If it is underestimated; you can meet demand, if it is overestimated; you can't meet demand
Answer:
3x²y+0.5y+1
Step-by-step explanation:
2+3x²y -0.5y+y -1
2 and -1 is 1
-0.5y and +y is +0.5y so the answer is...
X=weekly allowance
x/2=money saved (= money spent).
We can suggest this equation:
x/2+4=12
lowest common multiple=2
x+8=24
x=24-8
x=16
Answer: her weekly allowance is $16.
