Answer:

Company A = $13

Company B = $12.73

Company B

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the unit cost for each company, divide the price of chocolate by the number of pounds

Unit cost = price ÷ total pounds offered

Company A

$32.50 ÷ 2 1/2

$32.50 ÷ 5/2

$32.50 x 2/5 = $13

Company B

$35 ÷ 2 3/4

$35 ÷ 11/4

$35 X 4/11 = $12.73

$12.73 is less than $13. Company b has a lower price per pound

the sum of all interior angles in a polygon is

180( n - 2)

n = number of sides

now, this polygon is a quadrilateral, so it has 4 sides, so it's total is just 180( 4 - 2) = 360.

$360=x+4x+3x+2x\implies 360=10x\implies \cfrac{360}{10}=x\implies 36=x$

Write an equation passing through the point and perpendicular to the given line: (-3,5);y = 3/4x-4

balandron [24]

Hey!

So the first thing we realize is that it says that the equation is perpendicular to the line, meaning that the slope of the line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line you are given. Since we are given the slope of this line as 3/4 we can take the negative reciprocal of this to get -(4/3).

Now that we have the slope and a point on the line you can plug those into the equation y = mx + b to find b. The slope of the line is m and the point contains the x and y values.

5 = -(4/3)(-3) + b

5 = 4 + b

1 = b

Since we have the y-intercept and the slope now we can plug that into the slope-intercept form equation to get the equation we need:

y = -(4/3)x + 1

A pet store sells goldfish and hermit crabs,

Elis [28]

Answer:

$Cost = \$28$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Goldfish with g and hermit crabs with h.

The first statement, we have:

$7g + 3h = 26$

The second statement, we have:

$4g + 5h = 28$

Required

Determine the selling price of 6 goldfish and 4 hermit crabs

The equations are:

$7g + 3h = 26$ --- (1)

$4g + 5h = 28$ --- (2)

Make g the subject in (2)

$4g + 5h = 28$

$4g = 28 - 5h$

Divide both sides by 4

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$

Substitute $\frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$ for g in (1)

$7g + 3h = 26$

$7(\frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)) + 3h = 26$

$\frac{7}{4}(28 - 5h) + 3h = 26$

Multiply through by 4

$4 * \frac{7}{4}(28 - 5h) + 4*3h = 26*4$

$7(28 - 5h) + 4*3h = 26*4$

Open bracket

$196 - 35h + 12h = 104$

$196 -23h = 104$

Collect Like Terms

$-23h = 104-196$

$-23h = -92$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{-92}{-23}$

$h = \frac{92}{23}$

$h = 4$

Substitute 4 for h in $g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5*4)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 20)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(8)$

$g = 2$

This implies that:

1 goldfish = $2

1 hermit crab = $4

The cost of 6 goldfish and 4 hermit crabs is:

$Cost = 6g + 4h$

$Cost = 6*\$2 + 4*\$4$

$Cost = \$12 + \$16$

$Cost = \$28$
