Answer:
5 candles
Step-by-step explanation:
Enny is selling candles for $3 at a fund raiser
She starts selling $4 to help her make change
Therefore the number of candles x that will be sold to get $19 can be calculated as follows
3x + 4= 19
3x = 19-4
3x= 15
x = 15/3
x= 5
Hence 5 candles must be sold to get $19
Answer:
Option A
f(x) = 12.5(1.6)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of gnats the scientists have gathered
At 0 hours, they gathered 12 gnats.
Checking all the options, applying x = 0 makes the index part become 1 (Anything raised to the power zero is 1).
So, we have the following functions
f(x) = 12.5
f(x) = 12.6
f(x) = 6.2
f(x) = 1.6
This has reduced our work, as we can screen out options C and D, they are too far from 12. This leaves us with option A and B.
At 1 hour, they gathered 20 gnats.
Checking options A and B
A. f(x) = 12.5(1.6)
= 20
B. f(x) = 12.6(6.2)
By inspection, 12 × 6 is already 72,
12.6 × 6.2 will be more.
By these, we can conclude that f(x) = 12.5(1.6)^x has the best models the number of gnats the scientists have gathered after the number of hours listed in the given table.
Since 25% is smack in the middle between 20% and 30%, it will take equal volumes of ech to make a 25% solution.
Since 4 gallons of 30% solution was used, so 4 gallons of 20% solution will be needed.
