Answer: #8292829282
Step-by-step explanation:
So you are going to multiply the fractions by 10,000 to find the amount of money used on that item.
1/2 x 10,000 = 5,000 - FOOD
1/4 x 10,000 = 2,500 - BEVERAGES
1/10 x 10,000 = 1,000 - DECORATIONS
5,000 + 2,500 + 1,000 = 8,500
10,000 - 8,500 = MONEY SPENT ON STAFFING
= 1,500
The slope is -5. Find two lattice points (points with integer coordinates) and find (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) with the two points being (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). The equation would be

, or -5.
Maria needs to save $187.50 per month in order to attend college.
First, subtract the $1,100 scholarship from the cost of college, or $10,100, to get $9,000. This is the amount that she needs to save after 4 years. Next, since she is saving monthly, we need to know how many monthly periods are in 4 years, so multiply 12 months/year by 4 years to get 48 monthly periods. Finally, divide the total amount needed ($9,000) by the monthly periods (48) to get $187.50. This answer would change if she earned any interest on her savings, and depending on the compounding period, if any, for such interest.
