Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two pounds

2 pounds of coffee sells for $3.38

1 pound of coffee sells for 3.38 / 2 = $1.69

Five Pounds

5 pounds of the same coffee sells for $8.50

1 pound of the same coffee sells for $8.50 /5 = 1.70

By a very narrow margin, the 2 pounds of coffee is the better buy.

You would rather pay 1.69 for a pound of something, when your only other choice is 1.70 for the same thing.

The 2 pound can of coffee will sell for better you know this because if you do 2÷3.38 you get $.59 per pound whereas if you get the 5 pound can you get The equation 5÷8.50 which gives you 58.8 cents per pound that is a better deal than the $.59 per pound sauce meaning the 2 pound can is better

Land in downtown Columbia is valued at $10 a square foot. What is the value of a triangular lot with sides of lengths 119, 147,
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

$87,461

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dimensions or sides of lengths of the triangle are 119, 147, and 190 ft

where S is the semi perimeter of the triangle, that is, s = (a + b + c)/2.

S = (119 + 147 + 190) / 2 = 456/ 2 = 228

Using Heron's formula which gives the area in terms of the three sides of the triangle

= √s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)

Therefore we have = √228 (228 - 119)(228 - 147)(228 - 190)

=> √228 (109)(81)(38)

= √228(335502)

=√76494456

= 8746.1109071 * $10

= 87461.109071

≈$87,461

Hence, the value of a triangular lot with sides of lengths 119, 147, and 190 ft is $87,461.

Kara used the linear model y=45,000+ 0.05x to predict her total salary from achieving total sales of x.
hoa [83]

Answer:

45,000 is the starting salary with zero sales

.05 is the amount multiplied by the number of sales that is added to her salary

For each sale we add .05 to her salary

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 45,000 +.05x

Rewriting as

y = .05x +45,000

This is in slope intercept form ( y=mx+b) where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

.05 is the slope and 45,000 is the y intercept

45,000 is the starting salary with zero sales

.05 is the amount multiplied by the number of sales that is added to her salary

For each sale we add .05 to her salary
