Answer:
The apricots are less expensive per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of 1 pound of almonds = 21.98/2
Cost of 2 pounds of almonds = $21.98
So then you have to do 21.98 - 21.98/2. Which equals $10.99
Cost of 1 pound of dried apricots = 26.25/3
Cost of 3 pounds of dried apricots = $26.25
So then you have to do $26.25 - 26.25/3 which = $17.5 then divide that by 2 which equals $8.75.
To find out how much less expensive you have to find the difference, so to do that you have to do $10.99 - $8.75 = $2.24 per pound less expensive.
In order to solve this, we need to select the function that meets our constraints. Since x^2 - 5 occurs when x is less than 3, and the x-value we are given is -4, we use the first function.
f(-4) = (-4)^2 - 5
f(-4) = 16 - 5
f(-4) = 11

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's go ahead and construct an equation to show this. Together, they have 50 goldfish. This can be represented as =50.
Since we don't know how many Todd has, we're going to make a variable. We'll name it T, for Todd.
What about Andres? How many does he have? 10 more than Todd. Well, if Todd's amount is T, and Andres has 10 more, we can express that as T+10.
Now, just put the two pieces together! T+10=50.
The next step is inverse operations. You want to find out how many T is, so you need to get rid of the 10. To take 10 away from something is doing what? Subtraction! Be warned, though; whatever you do to one side of the problem, you have to do to the other. 10-10 is 0, and 50-10 is 40. Since we took the 10 away and 50 is now 40, what you're left with is T=40.
Wait a second.. wasn't "T" Todd's amount? Yep! That means that Todd has 40 goldfish. And we already know that Andres has 10, so there's your answer!
