A grocery store bought milk for $2.60 per half gallon and stored it in two refrigerators. During the night, one refrigerator mal

functioned and ruined 15 half gallons. If the remaining milk is sold for $4.08 per half gallon, how many half gallons did the store buy if they made a profit of $69.04?

Answer:

88 half gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by creating an equation. First we will need a variable. Since we are trying to find how many half gallons the store bought, that will be what our variable represents.

Let g = the number of half gallons

Since the store bought milk for $2.60 per half gallon, the amount of money they spent will be 2.6g.

The remaining milk is sold for $4.08 per half gallon. Remember, the store lost 15 half gallons so the number of gallons is currently g-15. This means that to find the amount of profit they made, we use 4.08(g-15).

We already know that the profit is $69.04, so we can make this into an equation.

This profit is the amount of money made minus the cost.

4.08(g-15) - 2.6g = 69.04

We can begin to solve this by simplifying the left side.

4.08(g-15) - 2.6g

4.08g - 61.2 - 2.6g

1.48g - 61.2

This makes our new equation:

1.48g - 61.2 = 69.04

We can begin to isolate our variable, g, by adding 61.2 to both sides.

1.48g = 130.24

Then we divide both sides by 1.48.

g = 88

If f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = x2 + 1, which expression is equivalent to (fog)(x)?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

3(x² + 1) + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(f ○ g)(x) = f(g(x))

Substitute x = g(x) into f(x), that is

f(x² + 1) = 3(x² + 1) + 2 ← is the equivalent statement

Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints at the given coordinates (-6,6) and (-3,-9)
JulsSmile [24]

The midpoint of the line segment with endpoints at the given coordinates (-6,6) and (-3,-9) is \left(\frac{-9}{2}, \frac{-3}{2}\right)

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, two points are (-6, 6) and (-3, -9)

We have to find the midpoint of the segment formed by the given points.

The midpoint of a segment formed by \left(\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right) \text { and }\left(\mathrm{x}_{2}, \mathrm{y}_{2}\right) is given by:

\text { Mid point } \mathrm{m}=\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)

\text { Here in our problem, } x_{1}=-6, y_{1}=6, x_{2}=-3 \text { and } y_{2}=-9

Plugging in the values in formula, we get,

\begin{array}{l}{m=\left(\frac{-6+(-3)}{2}, \frac{6+(-9)}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{-6-3}{2}, \frac{6-9}{2}\right)} \\\\ {=\left(\frac{-9}{2}, \frac{-3}{2}\right)}\end{array}

Hence, the midpoint of the segment is \left(\frac{-9}{2}, \frac{-3}{2}\right)
