Answer:

850.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number at the start be x shoes. Then:

x - 50 - 0.64(x - 50) = 288

x - 0.64x - 50 + 32 = 288

0.36x = 288 + 50 - 32

0.36x = 306

x = 306/0.36 =  850.

I need help ? which linear function is represented by the graph?​

<h3>Answer: f(x) = (-1/2)x+1, choice B</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

The diagonal line passes through 1 on the vertical y axis. So the y intercept is b = 1. This means the location of the y intercept is (0,1).

Start at (0,1) and move down 1 and to the right 2 to arrive at (2,0). This is another point on the diagonal line. The motion of "down 1 and right 2" is effectively the slope

slope = rise/run = -1/2

rise = -1, run = 2

The rise being negative means we have gone downhill as we move to the right.

With m = -1/2 as the slope and b = 1 as the y intercept, we go from y = mx+b to y = (-1/2)x+1

The last thing to do is replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = (-1/2)x+1 as the final answer.

Joseph has a job walking dogs and gets paid per dog. He needs to walk 45 dogs to earn enough money to pay for his soccer team fe
rusak2 [61]

Using proportions, it is found that it will take him 22.5 hours to walk the 45 dogs.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

He walks 3 dogs in 1 hour and 30 minutes, we means that the time in hours it takes for him to walk a dog is:

t = 1.5/3 = 0.5 hours.

Hence the time it will take him to walk 45 dogs is given by:

45 x 0.5 = 22.5 hours.
