Answer:
1. Going to the close store is cheaper.
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference in the prices of chicken is 3.19 -2.89 = 0.30 per pound, so for 5 pounds of chicken, the far store offers a price that totals 5×$0.30 = $1.50 less.
The difference in travel distances is 8.4 -2.4 = 6 miles, so the total round-trip distance difference is 12 miles. The cost of gas is ...
($3.81 /gal)/(23 mi/gal) = $0.1656 /mi
so the cost of gas for the 12-mile longer trip would be
12×$0.1656 ≈ $1.99
Traveling to the far store, you would spend $1.99 more on gas to save $1.50 on the price of chicken. Going to the close store is cheaper.
It would have a variable, and/or coefficients and sometimes constants

Where Andrew and his father are scuba diving has a higher elevation than tackle box Canyon.
To calculate the remaining number of teams, use the sequence formula:
a(n) = a(1)Rⁿ-¹
Where a(n) and a(1) are the nth and first terms. R is the factor. Therefore, 24 teams is valid value.
After 5 rounds :
a(5) = 128*(½)⁴
a(5) = 128/16 = 8
8 teams are remained.
