Answer:

$59. 85  or rounding, $60   (I AM NOT COMPLETELY SURE)

Step-by-step explanation

I changed the percentage into a decimal (.05) and then multiplied it by the final price (57). After multiplying, I got, $2.85. I then added that to the final price to get, $59.85.

Sara ordered 2 slices of pizza and a 12-ounce cola and paid
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: a slice of pizza cost $1.25 and a 12-ounce cola cost $0.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let slice of pizza cost x and a 12-ounce cola cost y.

Then Sara's order cost: 2x+y=3

and Sydney's order cost: 3x+2y=4.75

From the first equation we have: y=3-2x and put this to the second equation:

3x+2(3-2x)=4.75

3x+6-4x=4.75

x=1.25

y=3-1.25*2=0.50

Answer: a slice of pizza cost $1.25 and a 12-ounce cola cost $0.50.

Why is the slope of this graph?
Tom [10]

Answer:

1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

There seem to be a couple prominent points on the line. We can use two of them to find the slope.

(0, 75)

(30, 90)

(90 - 75) / (30 - 0) = 15 / 30 = 3 / 6 = 1/2.

Hope this helps!

How are exponents and radicals used to present roots of real numbers
MissTica

Answer:

       \sqrt[n]{a}  =a^{\frac{1}{n}}

Explanation:

Roots of real numbers can be represented by <em>radicals</em> or by<em> exponents. </em>

First, I present some examples to show how exponents and radicals are related, and then generalize.

      \sqrt{4}=4^{(\frac{1}{2})}=(2^2)^\frac{1}{2}=(2)^{\frac{2}{2}}=2^1=2\\\\\\\sqrt{25}=(25)^{\frac{1}{2}}=(5^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}=(5)^{\frac{2}{2}}=5^1=5

       \sqrt[3]{8}=(8)^{\frac{1}{3}}=(2^3)^{\frac{1}{3}}=(2)^{\frac{3}{3}}=2^1=2

When you write 5² = 25, then 5 is the square root of 25.

And in general, if n is a positive integer and a^n=x , then a is the nth root of x.

Also, if n even (and positive)  and a is positive, then a^{\frac{1}{n}}   is the positive nth root of a

Thus,

       \sqrt[n]{a}  =a^{\frac{1}{n}}
