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).

Afina-wow [57]

Answer: 84 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the ratio of the number of tickets Mark collected to the number of tickets Julia collected is 4:3

\frac{M}{J}=\frac{4}{3} (1)

In addition, we are told Julia collected 36 tickets:

J=36 (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

\frac{M}{36}=\frac{4}{3} (3)

Isolating M:

M=48 (4)

Adding Mark's tickets to Julia's:

M+J=48+36=84

Therefore, both collected 84 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

One standard deviation is 4.3. Then +2 standard deviations is ...

This amount added to the mean gives ...

  56 +8.6 = 64.6 . . . . +2σ from the mean
