You have a coupon for 25% off the price of a mystery book that sells for $7.00. You also have one for 20% off the price of a science fiction book that sells for $6.25. You have $5.00. Which book can you afford to buy? Explain.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  you can afford to buy both

as $1.75+$1.25 adds up to $3 leaving you $2 to spare.

Step-by-step explanation-

Mystery book: 25% of 7.00= 1.75 ($1.75)

Science Fiction: 20% of  6.25=1.25 ($1.25)

Answer 2

Answer:

You can afford the science fiction book.

Step-by-step explanation:

How to get the amount for the 25% coupon:

$7.00 × 0.25 = $1.75

To get the price of the mystery book using the coupon:

$7.00 - $1.75 = $5.25

The mystery book will cost $5.25.

How to get the price of the 20% coupon:

$6.25 × 0.20 = $1.25

To get the price of the science fiction book using the coupon:

$6.25 - 1.25 = $5.00

The science fiction book will cost $5.00.

You can afford to buy the science fiction book because you have $5.00 and that is the price of the book.  The mystery book costs $5.25 and you only have $5, which means that you don't have enough money to buy it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Elena is paid a constant rate for each hour she works. The table shows the amounts of money that Elena earned for various amounts of
time that she worked.

Answers

Constant rates are used to illustrate linear functions.

The average rate of change is $9.0 per hourThe function that models the table is: [tex]\mathbf{f(x) = 9x }[/tex]The amount earned in 7.5 hours is $67.5

(a) The average rate of change

This is calculated using:

[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{31.5-22.50}{3.5 - 2.5}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{9}{1.0}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Rate = 9.0}[/tex]

Hence, the average rate of change is $9.0 per hour

(b) A function that models the table of values

Let x represent hours, and y represent the earnings.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{y =m (x - x_1) + y_1}[/tex]

Where:

m =Rate = 9.0

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{y = 9(x - 2.5) + 22.5}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{y = 9x - 22.5 + 22.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 9x }[/tex]

Represent as a function

[tex]\mathbf{f(x) = 9x }[/tex]

Hence, the function that models the table is: [tex]\mathbf{f(x) = 9x }[/tex]

(c) Amount earned for 7.5 hours

This means that x = 7.5

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f(7.5) = 9 \times 7.5 }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f(7.5) = 67.5}[/tex]

Hence, the amount earned in 7.5 hours is $67.5

Raina's penny bank is  1/4  full. After she adds  360  pennies, it is  5/8  full. How many pennies can Raina's bank hold? ​

Answers

Answer:

960

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the variable "x". Let's call "x" Raina's penny bank.

After adding 360 pennies, at the end, she has 5/8x, or 5/8.

So we start with

(1/4)x + 360 = 5/8x

Let's subtract 1/4x from both sides

360 = 5/8x - 1/4x

Remember, we need to use common denominators to subtract, so 1/4 becomes 2/8

360 = 5/8x - 2/8x

Now we simplify to get

360=3/8x

Multiply the reciprocal of 3/8 to both sides which is 8/3

360 * 8/3 = x

Answer is 960 pennies.

Therefore Raina's bank hold 960 pennies.

Answer:

we need to get the same number below to make it easier. so 1/4 will be equal to 2/8.

then she adds 360 pennies so it's 5/8 full.

therefore, the 360 pennies = 3/8 full

because 5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8.

now, we need to divide 360/3 so we can get how much pennies when it's 1/8 full.

360 pennies/3 = 120 pennies = 1/8 full.

now to get a full bank we just need to multiply 120 x 8 because 1/8 x 8 = 1 which means a full fraction.

120 pennies x 8 = 960 pennies.

Raina's bank can hold up to 960 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 2a - 3b

→ Minus 2a from both sides

-a = -3b

→ Multiply everything by -1

a = 3b

→ Divide both sides by 3

[tex]\frac{a}{3} =b[/tex]

Answer:

b = 2/3a -1/3A

Step-by-step explanation:

A=2a-3b

Subtract 2a from each side

A-2a=2a-2a-3b

A -2a = -3b

Divide each side by -3

A/-3  -2a/-3 = -3b/-3

-A/3 + 2/3a = b

b = 2/3a -1/3A

Rachel, Neil, Caroline share an amount of money.

Then, from the problem we have the following relationships

[tex]R+N+C=M\\\\5N=R \implies N=\frac{R}{5}\\\\\frac{C}{2}=R\implies C=2R[/tex]

Substituting the formulae for [tex]N[/tex] and [tex]C[/tex] into the sum [tex]R+N+C=M[/tex], we get

[tex]R+\frac{R}{5}+2R=M\\\\\frac{5R+R+10R}{5}=M\\\\\frac{16R}{5}=M\\R=\frac{5M}{16}[/tex]

Or, we can say that, [tex]R=\frac{5}{16}\text{ of }M[/tex]

Therefore, the fraction of money Rachel gets is [tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex] of the total amount.

A staff gauge measures the height of the water level in a river compared to the average water level. At one gauge the river is 1 ft below its average water level of 10 ft. It begins to rise by a constant rate of 1.5 ft per hour.

Will the river reach a level of 7 ft above normal after 5 hours? Explain.

Answers

The river will not reach a level of 7 ft. after 5 hours.

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

Let y represent the height of the water level after x hours.

Since the  river is 1 ft below its average water level and  begins to rise by a constant rate of 1.5 ft per hour. Hence:

b = -1, m = 1.5. The equation becomes:

y = 1.5x - 1

To reach a level of 7 ft. That is y = 7:

7 = 1.5x - 1

1.5x = 8

Elizabeth invested $970 in an account paying an interest rate of 6\tfrac{5}{8}6 8 5 ​ % compounded daily. Matthew invested $970 in an account paying an interest rate of 6\tfrac{3}{4}6 4 3 ​ % compounded continuously. After 8 years, how much more money would Matthew have in his account than Elizabeth, to the nearest dollar?

Answers

Using continuous compounding and compound interest, it is found that Matthew would have $17 more than Elizabeth in his account.

Compound interest:

[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

Continuous compounding:

[tex]A(t) = Pe^{rt}[/tex]

The parameters are:

A(t) is the amount of money after t years.  P is the principal(the initial sum of money).  r is the interest rate(as a decimal value).  n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.  t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

For both of them:

Investment of $970, hence [tex]P = 970[/tex]

Invested for 8 years, hence [tex]t = 8[/tex]

Elizabeth:

Compounded daily, hence [tex]n = 365[/tex].

Rate, as a percent, of [tex]6\frac{5}{8} = 6 + \frac{5}{8} = 6.625[/tex], hence [tex]r = 0.06625[/tex].

Then:

[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 970\left(1 + \frac{0.06625}{365}\right)^{365(8)}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 1648[/tex]

Matthew:

Rate, as a percent, of [tex]6\frac{3}{4} = 6 + \frac{3}{4} = 6.75[/tex], hence [tex]r = 0.0675[/tex].

Then:

[tex]A(t) = Pe^{rt}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 970e^{0.0675(8)}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 1665[/tex]

The difference is:

1665 - 1648 = 17

Hence, Matthew would have $17 more than Elizabeth in his account.

Answers

Answer:

m∠1 = 41°

m∠2 = 85°

m∠3 = 95°

m∠4 = 85°

m∠5 = 36°

m∠6 = 49°

m∠7 = 96°

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so to start we have 2 quadrilaterals intersecting to form a triangle, which means that in the shapes with 4 angles, all angles will add up to 360°, while the triangle's angles will add up to 180°

Right off the bat, we can tell that ∠3 and ∠95° are going to be the same, because they're at a perpendicular intersection, which also means that ∠2 and ∠4 will be the same as well

Knowing the ∠3 = 95° means that ∠5 and ∠6 must add up to equal 85°, so that the whole of the triangle equals 180°

Considering that in the first quadrilateral we already have ∠90° and ∠144°, this means that ∠1 and ∠2 have to add up to 126°, to make an even 360° total

If ∠95° is supplementary to ∠2, this means ∠2 = 85°, and since ∠4 and ∠2 are the same, ∠4 also equals 85° - This leaves 41° left for ∠1, and now we can move on to the other quadrilateral

So since we know ∠4 = 85°, and we already have ∠38°, this means that ∠7 and the unmarked angle will add up to equal 237°, so that the entire shape has 360°

Since we know that ∠5 and ∠144° are supplementary, this means ∠5 is equal to 36°, which would make ∠6 = 39°

And lastly we have ∠7, which since ∠6 = 39° this means our unmarked supplementary angle must equal 141° - Now that means that ∠4 + ∠38° + ∠141° = 264° out of 360°, which leaves ∠7 to equal 96°
