Let
x-------> total peanuts originally from the bag
we know that
1) Phillip took 1/3 of the peanuts from the bag--------> (1/3)*x
remaining=x-(1/3)*x-------> (2/3)*x
2) Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts-------> (1/4)*[(2/3)*x]----> (1/6)*x
remaining= (2/3)*x-(1/6)*x------> (1/2)*x
3) Brett took 1/2 of the remaining peanuts------> (1/2)*(1/2)*x-----> (1/4)*x
remaining= (1/2)*x-(1/4)*x-------> (1/4)*x
4) Preston took 10 peanuts------> 10
(1/4)*x-10=71----> multiply by 4 both sides----> x-40=284----> x=324 peanuts
5) Total originally peanuts from the bag is equal to 324 peanuts
6) Phillip took (1/3)*x-----> (1/3)*324=108 peanuts
7) Joy took (1/6)*x------> (1/6)*324=54 peanuts
8) Brett took (1/4)*x------> (1/4)*324=81 peanuts
9) Preston took 10
so
check
108+54+81+10=253
remaining=324-253------> remaining=71-------> is correct
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of apples that Nicole bought was 6 pounds.
Each pound of apple cost $1.50
This means that the total cost of the 6 pounds of apple that Nicole bought would be
6 × 1.5 = $9
The store had a discount of $2 off her total purchase. This means that the amount that was paid is
9 - 2 = $7
If Nicole and her friend then divided the cost of the purchase evenly, let x represent the amount that each of them would pay. Therefore, the expression that can be used to determine how much Nicole and her friend each paid for the apples would be
x = 7/2
The answer would be 2 because a square root has to be the same 2 numbers which is 2 for this example. 2x2=4. Hope this helps! If you have anymore questions please ask me. Stay Safe! And have a good day!
Function number one , the graphing seems good
