Apples: $(2x) per pound

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Shopper spend $3 on Apples, $4 on Grapes and $3.5 on Oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one pound of Apple = $2x

Cost of one pound of Grapes = $(6x-5)

Cost of one pound of Oranges = $(x+2)

A shopper purchases one pound each of  apples, grapes, and oranges and spends  $10.50.

It can be written as: 2x+6x-5+x+2=10.50

We need to find how much the shopper spend on each fruit.

First we need to find value of x by solving equation

2x+6x-5+x+2=10.50

Solving:

2x+6x+x+2-5=10.50\\9x-3=10.50\\9x=10.50+3\\9x=13.5\\x=\frac{13.5}{9}\\x=1.5

The value of x is: x=1.5

Now finding cost of one pound each fruit by putting x=1.5

Cost of one pound of Apple = $2x = 2(1.5) = $3

Cost of one pound of Grapes = $(6x-5) = (6(1.5)-5)= $4

Cost of one pound of Oranges = $(x+2)=(1.5+2)=$3.5

So,

Cost of one pound of Apple  = $3

Cost of one pound of Grapes = $4

Cost of one pound of Oranges = $3.5

So, shopper spend $3 on apples, $4 on Grapes and $3.5 on Oranges

If f(x)=5x+a and f-1(10)=-1, find a
zhenek [66]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

f(x)=5x+a

and f^{-1} (10)=-1(f^{-1} \text{is the inverse function of f})

let f(x)=y

Substitute in f(x)

y=5x+a\\y-a=5x\\x=\frac{y-a}{5}

From the definition inverse function

if f(x)=y    ⇒   f^{-1} (y)=x

Substitute this in the above expression

f^{-1} (y)=\frac{y-a}{5}

Substitute y=10

⇒

f^{-1} (10)=\frac{10-a}{5}\\-1=\frac{10-a}{5}\\-5=10-a\\a=10+5\\a=15

Therefore a=15

Le: Convert an interest rate of 12% p.a. compounded monthly to an interest
stellarik [79]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  12.1204%

Step-by-step explanation:

The nominal annual rate is 4 times the effective quarterly rate:

  (1 +0.12/12)^3 = 1.030301

so the effective quarterly rate is 3.0301%.

The equivalent annual rate compounded quarterly is 12.1204%.

The volume of a cone, V, is represented by , where r is the cone’s radius and h its height.
Arlecino [84]
So the height will equal 95.50 inches.

So if you double the height the volume is 1800cm3 and that is double the original volume 

And if you double the height the volume is 3600cm3 and that is the triple the original volume
