Answer: apples = 7 and bananas = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number  of apples and y represent the number of banana,

and it was said that the total apples and bananas altogether is 15 , that is

x + y = 15 ................. equation 1

Also,

1.25x + 0.40y = 11.95 ............. equation 2

Solving the two equations simultaneously ,

From the first equation, x = 15 - y ........... equation 3

substitute equation 3 into equation 2, we have

1.25(15 - y) + 0.40y = 11.95

18.75 - 1.25y + 0.40y = 11.95

18.75 - 0.85y = 11.95

18.75 - 11.95 = 0.85y

6.8 = 0.85y

therefore y = 6.8/0.85

= 8

substitute y = 8 , into equation 3

x = 15 - 8

x = 7

Therefore , she bought 7 apples and 8 banana

olganol [36]

Answer:

 none of the above

 f(x) ≈ 197·1.03^x; approximately 3% daily

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x represent days, then x/7 represents weeks and we can rewrite f(x) as ...

 f(x/7) = 197·1.25^(x/7) = 197·(1.25^(1/7))^x

 f(x) ≈ 197·1.03^x

__

The daily multiplier of 1.03 represents a daily growth rate of

 1.03 -1 = .03 = 3%

Angela is shopping for pet supplies and needs to buy a kennel and several toys. At Paws R Us, she would pay $50.75 for the kenne
zhenek [66]

Answer: t>6

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount to pay = Cost of kennel + (Cost per toy )x (Number of toys)

Let t = the number of pet toys Angela would need to buy for Paws R Us to be the cheaper option.​

Given, At Paws R Us, she would pay $50.75 for the kennel and $3.75 for each pet toy.

Amount to pay =  $(50.75 + 3.75t)

At Truth or Tail, she would pay $43.25 for the kennel and $5 for each pet toy.

Amount to pay =  $(43.25 + 5t)

According to the question , we have

50.75 + 3.75t < 43.25 + 5t

Subtract 3.75t from both sides

50.75+ 3.75t -3.75t   < 43.25 + 5t -3.75t

⇒ 50.75< 43.25 +1.25 t

Subtract  43.25 from both sides, we get

50.75 - 43.25 < 1.25 t

⇒  7.5< 1.25 t

Divide both sides by 1.25 we get

⇒   6<t

Hence, the required inequality to represent t, the number of pet toys Angela would need to buy for Paws R Us to be the cheaper option:

t>6 .
