The function for the amount saved if they purchase a used drone rather than a new drone from Jim's store is f(x) = 0.45x

He sells used drones at 70% of the price (x).

So, the selling price of a used drone is:

\mathbf{Used = 70\% \times x}

Express percentage as decimal

\mathbf{Used = 0.7 \times x}

\mathbf{Used = 0.7x}

Also, he sells new drones at 15% more of the price (x).

So, the selling price of a new drone is:

\mathbf{New= (1 + 15\%) \times x}

Express percentage as decimal

\mathbf{New= (1 + 0.15) \times x}

\mathbf{New= 1.15 \times x}

\mathbf{New= 1.15x}

The amount saved is the difference between the prices of the drones.

So, we have:

\mathbf{Saved =New - Old}

This gives

\mathbf{Saved =1.15x- 0.7x}

Subtract

\mathbf{Saved =0.45x}

Express as a function

\mathbf{f(x) = 0.45x}

Hence, the function for the amount saved is f(x) = 0.45x

10. Jack’s mom gave him 50 chocolates. At Jack’s party, he gave each of his friends 6 chocolates. Unfortunately Jack was 4 piece
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f = number of friends

all but one friend got 6 pieces   and 1 friend got 2  for a total of 50 pieces

6(f-1) + 2 = 50

Subtract 2 from each side

6(f-1) +2-2 = 50-2

6(f-1) = 48

Divide by 6

6(f-1)/6 = 48/6

f-1 = 8

Add 1 to each side

f-1+1=8+1

f=9

Jack has 9 friends at the party

With Jack and his mom, there are 11 people

3.152 repeating into a improper fraction
LenaWriter [7]

3  19/125

You can take any number, such as 3.152, and write a 1 as the denominator to make it a fraction and keep the same value, like this:

3.152 / 1

To get rid of the decimal point in the numerator, we count the numbers after the decimal in 3.152, and multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 if it is 1 number, 100 if it is 2 numbers, 1000 if it is 3 numbers, and so on.

Therefore, in this case we multiply the numerator and denominator by 1000 to get the following fraction:

3152 / 1000

Then, we need to divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor (GCD) to simplify the fraction.

The GCD of 3152 and 1000 is 8. When we divide the numerator and denominator by 8, we get the following:

394 / 125

Therefore, 3.152 as a fraction is as follows:

394 / 125
