Answer: 29.41 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
You have the following information given in the problem:
- The fat percentage that the person has is 17.2%
- The person weighs 171 pounds.
Therefore, to calculate the amount of pounds of her weight is made up of fat (which you can call x), you must multiply the weight of the person by the fat percentage.
Therefore, you obtain the following result:
Answer:
4232
Step-by-step explanation:
92% x 4600
4232
<span>It looks like you're supposed to pick a combination of two answers:
an absolute-value inequality, and
a sentence describing the meaning of that inequality.
We've got two choices for each, and therefore four possible combinations of choices.
First, let's tackle the sentence description. We're told that
"it [the cost] could differ [from the average of $32] as much as $8."
That sets a maximum value for the difference; it's UP TO $8.
If the cost is less than average, it could be as little as
$32 - $8 = $24
and if the cost is more than average, it could be as much as
$32 + $8 = $40.
So the medication costs range from $24 to $40, and we want an answer that states that.
Now for the inequalities:
|x - 32| describes the SIZE of the difference. Using the absolute-value function means we don't distinguish between
x - 32
and
32 - x
as far as our interests are concerned; we eliminate the sign from the subtraction and just look at the size of the difference.
But in the case we're looking at, we've got a MAXIMUM value for the difference; it can't be more than 8. The inequality
|x - 32| ≥ 8
says the difference is 8 or MORE, so we don't want that. Instead, we want
|x - 32| ≤ 8
which says the difference is anywhere from 0 to 8.
Combining these conclusions, we see we're looking for this answer:
|x - 32| ≤ 8; The medication costs range from $24 to $40
which is the third one listed.</span>
LCM of 2, 3 and 4 is 12.
