Answer:
2.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the current CPI = 231.56
Previous CPI (CPI a year ago) = 225.3
Rate of inflation over the past year = current CPI - previous CPI/previous CPI × 100%
Rate of inflation = 231.56-225.3/225.3 × 100%
5.86/225.3× 100%
= 2.6%
Rate of inflation over the past year will be 2.6%
Answer:
Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Cost of purchasing supplies = $85
Cost charged for cleaning a pool = $40
Let,
x be the number of pools cleaned.
y be the profit
Profit = Cost of pools cleaned - purchase price of supplies
y = 40x - 85
Hence,
Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.
Answer:
150s or 2 min and 30 s
Step-by-step explanation:
20 facts = 1 min
10 facts = 30s
50 facts = ? min
50 / 10 = 5
30 * 5 = 150s
150s = 2 min and 30 s

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify</em>
4x - 5y = 21
<em>y</em> = -4
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute in <em>y</em>: 4x - 5(-4) = 21
- Multiply: 4x + 20 = 21
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 20 on both sides: 4x = 1
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 4 on both sides: x = 1/4
