Answer:

$2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to set up a proportion to show how much the cost of milk is when discounted per gallon. 0% off, the milk would be $3.75. 40% off, the milk would be x. Now I flipped the percents because that is how much you are actually paying.

Proportion would look something like this:

3.75/100 = x/60

solve for x:

225 = 100x

x= 2.25

M = -4 -4 / 5- 3 = -8/2 = -4

y = -4x + b

4 = -12 + b

b = 16

y = -4x + 16

Answer:

Base = 10 cm

Height = 60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is $area=\frac{1}{2} *b*h$ , where b is the length of the base of the triangle, and h is the length of the height of the triangle.

We know the area is 300, and since the height of the triangle is 6 times its base, we know that $h=6*b$ . We can plug in these values into our formula for the area of a triangle, which gives us the following equation to solve:

$300=\frac{1}{2} *b*(6*b)$

$3b^2=300$

$b=\sqrt{100} =10$

The base of the triangle is 10 centimeters.

Now that we know the base of the triangle, we can plug its value in to the original formula to solve for the height of the triangle, which gives us the following equation:

$300=\frac{1}{2} *10*h$
