We need to identify what "the nearest cent" is.
So!
AB.CD
That is a representation of a number using variables, but we'll just say it's for place values.
A is in the Tens Place
B is in the Ones Place
C is in the Tenths Place (1/10)
D is in the Hundredths Place (1/100
Since we are talking about money let's put it in relation to a dollar.
A is in the Ten Dollar Place
B is in the One Dollar Place
C is in the Tenth of a Dollar Place (1/10 of a dollar)
D is in the Hundredth of a Dollar Place (1/100 of a dollar)
So, what is 1/10 of a dollar?
What amount of money times 10, would get you 1 dollar. Or you can think of it as if you had 10 of one value of money and you got a dollar what is that? A dime.
Now, what is 1/100 of a dollar?
What amount of money times 100, would get you 1 dollar. 1 cent (Or it is sometimes called a penny).
So that means any number beyond the 1/100 of a dollar point (D) will be rounded. If it's the first number after the 1/100 of a dollar is greater than (or equal to) 5 then we round the cent value up. If it is less than 5 we round down.
$29.4983
So, 9 is our cent place. 8 is greater than 5, so we round 9 up. (Add 1. Since it is 9 it will carry over into the 1/10 of a dollar place)
Our answer is:
$29.50
Rational numbers are a giant group of numbers in mathematics. Basically, rational numbers are all numbers that can be written as a fraction. The set of rational numbers includes many subsets of numbers which are provided in the image.
Answer:
Credit remaining after 21 minutes = $30.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Credit remaining on a phone card is a linear function of the total calling time.
When graphed, let the linear function representing the line is,
y = mx + b
Where 'm' = slope of the line
b = y-intercept
From the graph,
Slope of the line = -0.12
y = -0.12x + b
If this line passes through a point (33, 28.96),
28.96 = -0.12(33) + b
b = 28.96 + 3.96
b = 32.92
Therefore, the linear function is,
f(x) = -0.12x + 32.92
where x = calling time
Credit left in the card after 21 minutes,
f(21) = -0.12(21) + 32.92
= -2.52 + 32.92
= $30.4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the 2 dots on the line located at (0,1) and (-3,0).
The slope is the change in Y over the change in X:
Change in Y = 0-1 = -1
Change in X = -3 - 0 = -3
Slope = -1 / -3 = 1/3
They intercept in this case is Y1 which = 1.
The equation is y = 1/3x + 1
