Answer:
C = 125S + $3750
Step-by-step explanation:
$ 3750 = truck rental; $125 per ton of sugar transported. C is the cost; S is the number of tons transported. The equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b. This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only. You would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750). As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:
(1, 3875) (2, 4000) (3, 4125) etc.
This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125
Well, if you want to get p by itself, you will have to multiply both sides by 5/2. 2/5 times 5/2 gives you 1p, or just p.
Answer:
$0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points
Step-by-step explanation:
The multiplier for semi-annual compounding will be ...
(1 + x/2)² = 1 + x + x²/4
The multiplier for annual compounding will be ...
1 + x
The multiplier for semiannual compounding is greater by ...
(1 + x + x²/4) - (1 + x) = x²/4
Maria's interest will be greater by $1000×(x²/4) = $250x², where x is a decimal fraction.
If x is a percent value, as in x = 6 when x percent = 6%, then the difference amount is ...
$250·(x/100)² = $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points
_____
<u>Example</u>:
For x percent = 6%, the difference in interest earned on $1000 for one year is $0.025×6² = $0.90.
