X=amount of money woman has
n=pounds of sugar
Store #1: 8.5*n=x+30
Store #2: 8*n=x-25
multiply #2 by 17/16 to make coefficient of n same as in #1
2: 8.5*n=17/16(x-25)
Subtract #2 from #1
0=x+30-17/16(x-25)
x+30-17x/16 +25*17/16
x/16=30+25*17/16
x=480+425
=905 cents
=$9.05

Answer:
Part a) The expression is 
Part b) Customer cannot buy 2.5 ounces of paprika and have it shipped for less than $8.00
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
A spice store charged 2.75 for 25 grams of paprika. It also charges 5% of the purchase price for shipping any order.
Part a) Write and simplify an expression to determine the cost of buying and shipping x ounces of paprika. Use 1 ounce = 28 grams
Part b) Can a customer buy 2.5 ounces of paprika and have it shipped for less than 8.00? Explain
step 1
Convert grams to ounces
Remember that

To convert grams to ounces divide by 28

The unit price is

Let
x ----> the number of ounces of paprika
y ----> the cost of buying and shipping x ounces of paprika
5%=5/100=0.05
![y=3.09x+(3.09x)0.05\\y=3.09x[1+0.05]\\y=3.2445x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D3.09x%2B%283.09x%290.05%5C%5Cy%3D3.09x%5B1%2B0.05%5D%5C%5Cy%3D3.2445x)
Part b) For x=2.5 oz
substitute in the equation


therefore
Customer cannot buy 2.5 ounces of paprika and have it shipped for less than $8.00
Answer:
3√41
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonal can be gotten using the pythagoras theorem
d² = l²+w²
d² = 12²+15²
d² = 144 + 225
d² = 369
d = √9*41
d = 3√41
Hence the diagonal is 3√41
