$800 increased by 25% = 1.25 x 800 = $1,000
The correct answer is choice d because you would divide x by 2 to get 70. then you do the same with y so 35/2 = 17.5
Answer:
f(1/4) = 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x is a function. The name of the function is simply the letter f. It tells you a rule. f(x) is the same as y.
It is the same as having
y = 4x^2 - 2/3 x
For each value of x you are given, you can calculate a corresponding value of y. Instead of calling y, y, we call y "f(x)" which is a way of showing that this relation is a function.
If you were given
y = 4x^2 - 2/3 x and were asked to find the value of y when x = 1/4, what would you do?
You would substitute 1/4 for x in the expression 4x^2 - 2/3 x, and you'd find the value of y.
Being asked to find f(1/4) for function f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x means exactly the same. It means what is the value of the function when x = 1/4? What is the y value corresponding to an x value of 1/4?
Let's calculate it:
f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x
To show we are evaluating the function at an x value of 1/4, we use the notation f(1/4). f(1/4) means find the value of y for function f when x = 1/4. We replace x with 1/4 and do the math.
f(1/4) = 4(1/4)^2 - (2/3)(1/4)
f(1/4) = 4(1/16) - 2/12
f(1/4) = 4/16 - 2/12
f(1/4) = 1/4 - 2/12
f(1/4) = 3/12 - 2/12
f(1/4) = 1/12
Given :
A carton of 12 eggs or a carton of 18 eggs was the better buy. A carton of 12 eggs cost $2.39, and a carton of 18 eggs cost $3.39. Unit price of the 12-egg carton = ($2.39)(12 eggs) = $28.68 per egg Unit price of the 18-egg carton = ($3.39)(18 eggs) = $61.02 per egg The 12-egg carton has the lower unit cost, so it is the better buy.
To Find :
What was her first error.
Solution :
Her first error is to find Unit price of egg in each carton.
To find, unit price we should divide total amount by number of units :
Unit price for carton of 12 eggs, $ (2.39)/12 = $0.199 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
