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

Answer:

d. 27 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cube = s^3 = B * s

volume of pyramid = (1/3) * B * h

The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 of the area of the base multiplied by the height. The volume of a cube is the area of the base multiplied by the height. Since the volume of a pyramid has the fraction 1/3 and the volume of the cube does not, then the volume of a cube is 3 times greater than the volume of a pyramid that fits inside and has the same base area.

volume of pyramid = 9 cu ft

volume of cube = 3 * 9 cu ft = 27 cu ft

Answer: d. 27 cubic feet

When:

V = 64 cm³

B = 24 cm²

Then:

h = 8 cm

<u>Ratio stuff:</u>

h=(\frac{72}{64})( \frac{36}{24} )(8)\\h=1.6875(8)\\h= 13.5
