Answer:

  • 18.54x +48
  • $85

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount Rita spent is ...

  (18.54x +23) +(25) = 18.54x +48 . . . total spent

__

When x=2, that is approximately ...

  (18.5)(2) + 48 = 37 +48 = (40 -3) +(50 -2) = (40 +50) -(3 +2) = 90 -5 = 85

Rita spent about $85 if she bought 2 items.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Estimation is often done using 1 significant figure. In this case, that would mean rounding the equation to 20x+50, so it would give a value of 90 when x=2.

An additional task when estimating is to estimate the error in the estimate. Here, using 20x+50 has an error of approximately 1.5x+2 (too high), so the error for 2 items will be about (1.5(2)+2) = 5. That is, the estimate of 90 is approximately 5 too high. Even this estimate has a remaining small error of 0.04x (too low).

Jason is 5 foot 11 inches tall. Amy is 63 inches tall. Who's taller and by how much 1 foot = 12 inches
jok3333 [9.3K]
Since 1 foot = 12 inches,
5 feet x 12 inches = 60 inches
Jason would be 60 inches + 11 inches tall which would = 71 inches.

71 inches is greater than 63 inches.
And 71 in -63 in= 8 in.
Therefore, Jason is taller by 8 inches
