Answer:
61 bags of lettuce
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create two equations representing the cost of bags of lettuce:
Val's Veggies: 250 + 1.50x = V
Sally's Salads: 100 + 4.00x = S
If you buy 60 bags of lettuce from either store, the answers will be equivalent:
If x = 60
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 90 = V
340 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 240 = S
340 = S
Now that both equations are equivalent, all we need to do to tip the balance and make Val's Veggies cheaper is purchase one more bag of lettuce:
x = 61
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 91.50 = V
341.50 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 244 = S
344 = S
Since V represents the price of a bag of lettuce at Val's Veggies and V is now less than S (Sally's Salads), Val's Veggies is now the cheaper option.
Therefore, 61 bags of lettuce must be purchased in order for Val's Veggies to be the cheaper option.
Answer:
5.13
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the number at the end, and if it's 5 or more, round up. the 6 is greater than or equal to 5, so you round up, dropping the six and making the 2 into a 3, giving you 5.13.
The GCF of the first two is 4p³q².The GCF of the second two is 8pq⁵.The GCF of the third two is 4p²q⁵.The GCF of the fourth two is 8p²q.The GCF of the fifth two is 4p²q.
To find the GCF of each pair, find the greatest number that will divide into each coefficient. As for the variable portions, choose the variable that has the smallest exponent from each pair.
