Note: It seems you may have unintentionally missed writing the complete question. As total cost is missing.

So, I am assuming how many tickets Mr. XYZ can buy if he/she pays 98 dollars.

The solution would still clear your concept though.

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the function

c(x) = 18x -10

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

rate of change = slope = m = 18

c(x) or y represents the cost

According to the function equation,

'x' represents the number of tickets

Assuming the total cost i.e. c(x) = $98

In order to determine the value of x, set c(x) = 98

i.e.

98 = 18x -10

switch sides

18x - 10 = 98

add 10 to both sides

18x - 10 + 10 = 98 + 10

18x = 108

Divide 18 to both sides

18x/18 = 108/18

x = 6

Therefore, if you can buy x = 6 if you pay 98 dollars.

Bottle A contains 4 ounces of water, which is 25% of the amount of water in Bottle B. How much water is there in Bottle B?

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

B=16 ounces

C=24 ounces

B=1/0.75=133%

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

A≡0.25B (25%), if A=4 ounces then B=4/0.25 = 16 ounces

C=1.5B (150%), if B=16 ounces then C=1.5*(16 ounces) = 24 ounces

D≡xB (?%), if D=12 ounces then x=12/16 = 0.75 ≡ 75%, but xB≡D ⇒ B≡D/x →

B≡12(1/0.75)= B=12*(1.333)→ B≅133%D

The tax rate as a percent, r, charged on an item can be determined using the formula – 1 = r, where c is the final cost of the i

melisa1 [442]

The correct answer is:

$43.20

Explanation:

The formula we have is

c = p(1+r), where c is the total cost, p is the price of the item before tax, and r is the tax rate written as a decimal. This formula comes from the fact that adding a percent tax to the cost of an item takes 100% of the price and adds r% to it; this is why we multiply the price by (1+r).

Since our tax rate is 8%, r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08. The price of the item is $40. Using this information, we have:

c = 40(1.08) = $43.20
