Answer:
1.) y = 1.10(x – 1) + 1.35
Step-by-step explanation:
When x pounds of apples are purchased, the number of "additional" pounds is (x-1). The cost of those additional pounds is then added to the cost of the first pound to get ...
y = 1.10(x -1) +1.35
_____
<em>Comment on the function rule</em>
Personally, I think it is easier to write the rule as y = 1.10x +0.25, considering the first pound to have a $0.25 premium added to its otherwise $1.10 cost. This saves an operation when evaluating the formula for some value of x.
Answer:
225 sq inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
If two more layers are added on it would be 225 because 5*7*7=225
Bob can buy 15 cupcakes for the price of 18 cookies.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Assume the cost of a cookie is $x, the cost of a brownie is $y and the cost of a cupcake is $z.
- It is given that 6 cookies and 2 brownies cost the same, so 6x = 2y, take this as equation 1.
- It is also given that 4 brownies cost the same as 10 cupcakes, so 4y = 10z, take this as equation 2.
- If we divide equation 2 by 2 we get, 2y = 5z so that the y value is the same as equation 1 and we can equate equation 1 and 3.
- We get 6x = 2y = 5z, 6x = 5z, dividing both sides by 5, we get 1.2x = z.
- We need to calculate how many cupcakes Bob can buy for the price of 18 cookies, So we must find the z value when the x = 18.
- If we multiply 1.2 with 15 we get 18 so we the last equation is multiplied with 12 so that 18x = 15z. 18 cookies and 15 cupcakes cost the same.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's do this in Python
day = 1
balance = 0
deposit = 0.01 # first deposit is 1 penny
while balance < 1000000: # execute the loop as long as balance is less than a million dollar
balance += deposit
deposit = deposit * 2 # double the deposit for the next time
day += 1 # add one to day for the next day
print(day) # print out result once loop ends
