Jacob purchased 2 1/2 pounds of grapes and 2 3/4 pounds of strawberries from a farmer's market. The cost of each pound of grapes

is $2.64 and the cost of each pound of strawberries is $3.09. If the store offered a discount of 10% on the final bill, what was the amount Jacob paid to buy the fruits? Ignore sales tax.

Answer:

<u>$13.59</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

((2 1/2)lbs grapes)*($2.64/lbs grapes) + ((2 3/4)lbs strawberries)*($3.09 lbs strawberries) = total cost before discount.

Total Cost = (2.5)*(2.64) + (2.75)*(3.09)

Total Cost = 15.0975 round to $15.10

10% discount = (1 - 0.10) = 0.90

(0.90)*($15.10) = <u>$13.59</u>

Juanita and Keenan own a camping supply store and just put in an order for flashlights and sleeping bags. The number of flashlig

julsineya [31]

Juanita and Keenan ordered 85 flashlights and 17 sleeping bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of each flashlight = $12

Cost of each sleeping bag = $45

Total cost = $1785

Let,

x represent the number of flashlights ordered

y represent the number of sleeping bags ordered

According to given statement;

12x+45y=1785 Eqn 1

x = 5y Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$12(5y)+45y=1785\\60y+45y=1785\\105y=1785\\$

Dividing both sides by 105

$\frac{105y}{105}=\frac{1785}{105}\\y=17$

Putting y=17 in Eqn 1

$x=5(17)\\x=85$

Juanita and Keenan ordered 85 flashlights and 17 sleeping bags.

find the equation of the line passing through the given point and perpendicular to the given equation write your answer in slope

Paraphin [41]

Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b "m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept

For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the opposite/negative reciprocals (flipped sign and number)

For example:

slope is 2

perpendicular line's slope is -1/2

slope is -2/3

perpendicular line's slope is 3/2

3.) y = 2x - 2

The given line's slope is 2, so the perpendicular line's slope is -1/2

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+b$ To find "b", plug in the point (-5 , 5) into the equation

$5=-\frac{1}{2}(-5)+b$

$5=\frac{5}{2}+b$ Subtract 5/2 on both sides

$5-\frac{5}{2}=b$ Make the denominators the same

$\frac{10}{2}-\frac{5}{2}=b$

$\frac{5}{2}=b$

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}$

4.) -6x + 5y = -10 Get "y" by itself, add 6x on both sides

5y = -10 + 6x Divide 5 on both sides

$y=-2+\frac{6}{5}x$

The given line's slope is 6/5, so the perpendicular line's slope is -5/6.

$y=-\frac{5}{6}x+b$ Plug in (-2, 5)

$5 = -\frac{5}{6}(-2)+b$

$5=\frac{10}{6}+b\\ 5=\frac{5}{3}+b$ Subtract 5/3 on both sides

$5-\frac{5}{3} =b$ Make the denominators the same

$\frac{15}{3}-\frac{5}{3}=b\\\frac{10}{3} =b$

$y = -\frac{5}{6}x+\frac{10}{3}$

7.) Perpendicular line's slope is -2

y = -2x + b Plug in (1,4)

4 = -2(1) + b

4 = -2 + b

6 = b

y = -2x + 6

8.) Perpendicular line's slope is -1/4

$y = -\frac{1}{4}x+b$ Plug in (-5 , 2)

$2=-\frac{1}{4}(-5)+b$

$2 = \frac{5}{4}+b$ Subtract 5/4 on both sides

$2-\frac{5}{4}=b$ Make the denominators the same

$\frac{8}{4}-\frac{5}{4}=b$

$\frac{3}{4}=b$

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{3}{4}$

Can u please help I got 1 minnnn lefttttt

atroni [7]

Answer:

The area=base×height

=10×4

=40cm^2

perimeter=2(length+breadth)

I think to find the height Dc you use the pythagoras theorem of

Dc^2=de^2+ce^2

=√16+9

=5

therefore the perimeter will be

p=2(5+10)

=20cm

I hope this helps and sorry if it's wrong

erma4kov [3.2K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$29.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the discounted ticket is 1 - 75% = 25% = 0.25 times the normal price:

discounted price = 0.25 × $118.00 = $29.50

The sale price is $29.50.
