<h3>
Answer: 175 pounds</h3>
Work Shown:
x = number of pounds of strawberries purchased
1.38x = cost of buying those x pounds of strawberries, at $1.38 a pound
1.38x = 241.50
x = (241.50)/(1.38)
x = 175
As a check,
1.38*x = 1.38*175 = 241.50
which confirms the answer
IN this question, it is given that
For all real numbers b and c such that the product of c and 3 is b.
That is
Solving for c by dividing both sides by 3
And we have to find an expression , that represents the sum of c and 3 in terms of b. And sum of c and 3 is
Substituting the value of c
So the correct option is the last option .
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
b(n)=b(n-1)+1 means a term can be found by taking it's previous term and adding 1 to it.
So if b(1)=16, the next term b(2)=16+1=17.
Let x = the total cost of gas, dollars.
Originally, each of the three friends was to pay x/3 dollars each.
Finally, with two more friends added, the cost became x/5 dollars each.
The savings for each of the original three friends is $11, therefore
x/3 - x/5 = 11
(2x)/15 = 11
x = (11*15)/2 = $82.50
Answer: The total cost of gas is $82.50
