Answer:
y=1.09x+0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that the price of beef stays the same for every pound of beef (the first pound is also $1.09)
Then, the equation would be, it y was the cost, and x was pounds:
y=1.09x
But, the price of beef is not the same for the first pound.
The first pound costs an extra 1.49-1.09=0.4 dollars a pound, so we will add that to the equation.
y=1.09x+0.4
X - (X)(.20) = $120
X (1 - .20) = $120
X (.80) = $120
X = $150
Original price of the boots was $150.
The answer to your question is 25.
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of Keith's height and his nephew's height is 15:7. Let keith height be x cm and his nephews height be y cm.

Keiths height increased by 16% , therefore Keith new height is (100% + 16%) × x = 1.16x
The nephew height is doubled, therefore his new height is 2y.
Given that Keith is now 34 cm taller than his nephew
1.16x = 2y + 34
but x = (15/7)y

The nephews new height = 2y = 2(70) = 140 cm
Keith new height = 2y + 34 = 140 + 34 = 174 cm
Their total current height = 140 cm + 174 cm = 314 cm
Distance = rate * time (I will abbreviate as d = rt)
d = rt, so r = d/t
r = 20mi/24min
= 0.833333 mi/min.
d = rt again for the new time
d = 0.8333333 mi/min * 6 min = 5 miles
