Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15 bags for $20 can be represented with 15/20
so x bags for $4 can be represented with x/4

now if you proportion it out (ricochet), 4x15 is 60, 60 divided by 20 is 3, so you can buy 3 bags of potatoes with $4.

OR

you could do 15/20 is 0.75

0.75 times 4 is 3, so $4 can buy you 3 bags.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is a proportion problem. It assumes that if you know 3 of the four parts of a 2 ratio proportion, you can solve for the 4th one.

Givens

number of bags = 15

Cost = 20

Different cost = 4

number of bags = ?

Formula

Number of bags / Cost = different number of bags/ New Cost

Solution

15/20 = x / 4              Multiply both sides by 4

15*4/20  = x / 4 * 4

60/20 = x

Answer x = 3

That is 4 dollars gets you 3 bags of potatoes

<u>Divide the total by the number of people:</u>

  • 74.54/4 = 18.635 = $18.64 rounded to the nearest cent

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The final answers are x = 1 OR x = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation is x^2 -3 = -2x

Rewriting it in quadratic form as:- x^2 +2x -3 = 0.

a = 1, b = 2, c = -3.

Using Quadratic formula as follows:- x = ( -b ± √(b² -4ac) ) / (2a)

x = ( -2 ± √(4 -4*1*-3) ) / (2*1)

x = ( -2 ± √(4 +12) ) / (2)

x = ( -2 ± √(16) ) / (2)

x = ( -2 ± 4 ) / (2)

x = (-2+4) / (2) OR x = (-2-4) / (2)

x = 2/2 OR x = -6/2

x = 1 OR x = -3

Hence, final answers are x = 1 OR x = -3.
