Answer:

They must buy 501 pounds of produce for the membership to be worth it.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this question by first finding the difference between $0.10 and $0.25.

With some simple subtraction (0.25-0.10) we can find that the difference is that a non-membership person would pay $0.15 per pound.

You then divide 75 by 0.15 to find the extra weight it would take for the produce to equal $75. You should get 500 pounds.

At 500 pounds, the price would be equal if you had a membership or not.

You then must add 1 pound to make it more favorable to have the membership.

At 501 pounds the person with the membership would pay $125.10 and the person without the membership would pay $125.25

Ava bought some pens for $ 2 $ 2 each and some pencils for $ 1 $ 1 each. She bought 3 3 more pens than pencils and spent a total

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Number pencils Ava bought = 2

Explanation:

Price of pen = 2 $

Price of pencil = 1 $

Total money spent = 12 $

Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.

2 a + b = 12 -----------------------------------Equation 1

We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils

a - b = 3 -------------------------------------- Equation 2

Equation 1 +Equation 2,

2 a + b + a - b = 12 + 3

3a = 15

a = 5

Substituting in equation 2

5 - b = 3

b = 2

Number pencils Ava bought = 2

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line having the given slope and y-intercept.

pychu [463]

Answer:

The answer to your question is y = 4/6x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

m = 4/6

P (0, -4)

slope-intercept form = ? y = mx + b where m is the slope and

b is the y-intercept

Formula

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitution

y - (-4) = 4/6(x - 0)

Simplification

y + 4 = 4/6x

Result

y = 4/6x - 4

slope = 4/6 y-intercept = -4

If the sum of 4040 consecutive integer numbers is 2020, find out the absolute difference between the first number and the last n

bearhunter [10]

Let $x$ be the smallest of the consecutive integers summing to 2020. Then the largest integer in the sum is $x+4039,$ so our answer is $\boxed{4039}.$

For completeness, though, let's solve for the value of $x$ that satisfies the conditions of the problem. Recall that the sum of an arithmetic series with first term $a_1,$ last term $a_n,$ and $n$ terms, is $\frac{n(a_1+a_n)}{2}.$ Plugging in our known values gives us the equation $\frac{4040(2x+4039)}{2}=2020,$ which simplifies to $2x+4039=1.$ Thus, $x=-2019,$ so the 4040 consecutive integers are $-2019,-2018,\dots,-1,0,1,\dots,2018,2019,2020.$ Notice how everything except the $2020$ cancels out!
