Please Help! I'm lost, in a maze and I can't find my way out.

Plums are 6 for $1.50, and a sign by the apples that are 5 for $3.00. What is the total cost of buying 2 plums and 2 apples?

Doss [256]

Answer:

The answer is $1.70

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 plums are $1.50 you would divide $1.50 by 6 to get the unit cost, $.25. Then you do the same thing for the apples. $3.00 divided by the 5 apples is $.60. Now you need to multiply both unit costs by 2 then add them together to get $1.70

(plums) $1.50 / 6 = .25

(apples) $3.00 / 5 = .60

(plums) .25 x 2 = .50

(apples) .60 x 2 = $1.20

$1.20 + .50 = $1.70

Hopefully I could help!!

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is 7 and the sixth term is 22. Find(a)the common difference;(2)(b)the twelfth term;(2)(

SVEN [57.7K]

d = 3 , a₁₂ = 40 and S $x_{100}$ = 7775

In an arithmetic sequence the nth term and sum to n terms are

<h3>• a $n$ = a₁ + (n-1)d</h3><h3>• S $_n$ = $\frac{n}{2}$ [2a + (n-1)d]</h3><h3>where d is the common difference</h3><h3>a₆ = a₁ + 5d = 22 ⇒ 7 + 5d = 22 ⇒ 5d = 15 ⇔ d = 3</h3><h3>a₁₂ = 7 + 11d = 7 +( 11× 3) = 7 + 33 = 40</h3><h3>S₁₀₀ = $\frac{50}{2}$ [(2×7) +(99×3)</h3><h3> = 25(14 + 297) = 25(311)= 7775</h3>

Jade wants to buy a $200,000 term life insurance policy. She is 34 years old. Using the premium table, what is her annual premiu

AnnZ [28]

Premium rates are usually for premium per fixed face value. Jade's annual premium for a 10 year policy is given by Option b: $1,202

<h3>How to calculate the total annual premium for $x ?</h3>

If its given that the annual premium is $p per $y face value, then we can calculate the annual premium for $1 face value and then use it to calculate annual premium for $x.

Using proportions, we get:

$\rm \$y \: face \: value : \$p \: annual \: premiun\\\\\rm \$1 \: face \: value : \$\dfrac{p}{y} \: annual \: premiun\\\\\rm \$x\:face\: value : \$\dfrac{p \times x}{y} \: annual \: premiun\\$

For given case, from the tables, we see that for age 34, and 10 year life insurance for female gender , there is annual premium of 6.01 per $1000 face value.
Thus, we have p = 6.01, y = 1000

Since Jade wants to buy Life insurance for $200,000, thus, x = $200,000

Putting it in the above derived formula, we get:

$\rm \$x\:face\: value : \$\dfrac{p \times x}{y} \: annual \: premium\\\\\rm \$200000\:face\: value : \$\dfrac{6.01 \times 200000}{1000} \: annual \: premium\\ = \$1202 \: annual \: premiun$
