The common denominator is already there 12 is the common denominator!! :)
We know that the amounts earned by Dawn, Doug and Dale are from the list of numbers: $9.35, $8.52 and $8.25
We also know that Dale and Doug earned close to $9.00
And that Dawn earned $1.10 less than Dale
Let the amount earned by Dale be x
⇒ Amount earned by Dawn is x - 1.1
If we notice the list of numbers, we see that $9.35 and $8.25 differ by $1.1
Hence, Dale earned $9.35 and Dawn earned $8.25
We are now left with $8.52, which should be the amount earned by Doug. This is correct, since we also know that Doug earned close to $9.
Hence, the amounts earned are:
Dale: $9.35
Doug: $8.52
Dawn: $8.25
In the problem it is already given that Weston Laundry washed 285.38 pounds of towel and 353.47 pounds of sheets from local hotels in 1 day. Firstly we have to find the total pounds of linens that Weston Laundry has washed in 7 days. Then only will it be possible to find the amount of linen washed in a day.
Then t
Total linen washed by Weston Laundry in 7 days = (285.38 + 353.47) pounds
= 638.85 pounds.
Then
The amount of linen washed by Weston Laundry in 1 day = 638.85/7
= 91.26 pounds
So Weston Laundry washed about 91.26 pounds of linen each day.
Since the parabola is connecting the points, it means that the points given are on the parabola or that the points are solutions of the parabola. Thus, when we substitute the points into the function, we should end up with the correct y-value.
To find the correct choice, let's test a point. An easy point to test I believe would be (-3, 0) because we should be getting 0 as a y-value. Let's test:
We can see that Choice B is the correct function, because it produces 0 when we substitute 
. Thus, Choice B, or (x + 3)(x - 4) is the answer.
