Step-by-step explanation:

the price charged for 100 students reflects the cost per student that applies to the order as a whole.

100 * 6 = $600, so the fixed cost is 750-600 = 150.

...

We can check this by substituting in the other equation.

Does 150*6 + 150 = 1050?

150*6=900

900+150 = 1050.

Yes, it does

...

We can express this relationship by the equation:

y = mx + b

where

y = total cost

m = $6 per student

x = number of students

b = fixed costs = 150

y = 6x + 150

What is the height, width, and length
Novosadov [1.4K]

so, let's say the length is "L".

width = 2 shorter than L = L - 2.

height = 9 more than twice L = 2L + 9.

check the picture below.

keeping in mind that the volume of a <u>rectangular prism</u> is simply the product of its length, width and height, and since we know the volume has to be 45.


\bf 45=(L)(L-2)(2L+9)\implies 45=(L)(2L^2+5L-18) \\\\\\ 45=2L^3+5L^2-18L\implies 0=2L^3+5L^2-18L-45 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{now let's do some grouping}}{0=(2L^3+5L^2)-(18L+45)}\implies \stackrel{\textit{common factor}}{0=L^2(2L+5)-9(2L+5)}


\bf \stackrel{\textit{again common factor}}{0=\underline{(2L+5)}(L^2-9)}\implies \stackrel{\textit{difference of squares}}{0=(2L+5)\stackrel{\downarrow }{(L^2-3^2)}} \\\\\\ 0=(2L+5)(L-3)(L+3)\implies L= \begin{cases} -\cfrac{5}{2}\\[1em] \boxed{3}\\ -3 \end{cases}


from those 3 factors, we get those solutions/zeros.

we can't use -5/2, or -3, because the length can't be a negative value, so L = 3.

that means the width = 3 + 2, and the height = 2(3) +9.

Approximately ___% of a district’s students that are eligible for free and reduced meals are homeless at any given time.
Ludmilka [50]

Percentages are used to show the fraction of a thing. For example, if 5 students out of 20 like math, the percentage is 5/20 x 100= 25%

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

This refers to the number of ratios that is described as a fraction of 100 and is denoted by the sign %.

Hence, we can see that although your question is incomplete, I gave you a general overview of percentages for a better understanding of the concept.
