Santa Claus has been experiencing some recent back pain and is unable to carry large bags of toys over his shoulders. As a result, he has decided to use FedEx to deliver many of his gifts this year. FedEx charges a flat rate of $2.50 plus $0.85 per pound. If the cost of sending gifts to the Jones's was $28.85, how much did their gifts weigh?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

31 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can write the following formula to calculate the total cost of sending gifts:

Total cost of sending gifts=2.50+0.85x, where x is the weight of the gifts in pounds

Also, you know that the total cost of sending gifts is $28.85 and you can replace this value and solve for x:

28.85=2.50+0.85x

28.85-2.50=0.85x

26.35=0.85x

x=26.35/0.85

x=31

According to this, the answer is that the gifts weighed 31 pounds.

Which statement must be true?
A. The graph of g passes through the point (6,-2)
B. The zero of g is -6
C. The slope of the graph is -2/3
D. The x-intercept of the graph of g is 6

Answers

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the graph is -2/3 is true.

What is Slope of Line?

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁.

The graph of linear function g passes through the points (3, 7) and (9, 3).

We need to find which statement is true from options.

Slope=3-7/9-3

=-4/6

=-2/3

The slope intercept form 7=-2/3(3)+b

7=-6/3+b

7=-2+b

b=9

Hence, the slope of the graph is -2/3 is true.

A grocer reports that the store has sold 72 of the 90 boxes of apples delivered this week. What percentage of the delivered apples have been sold?

Answers

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total boxes of apples delivered = 90

Total boxes sold = 72

What percentage of the delivered apples have been sold?

Percentage sold = Total boxes sold / total boxes delivered × 100

= 72 / 90 × 100

= 0.8 × 100

= 80%

The percentage of the delivered apples have been sold is 80%

Percentage unsold = (total boxes delivered - total boxes sold) / total boxes delivered × 100

= (90 - 72) / 90 × 100

= 18 / 90 × 100

= 0.2 × 100

= 20%

The percentage of the delivered apples have been sold is 80% and this can be determined by using the unitary method.

Given :

A grocer reports that the store has sold 72 of the 90 boxes of apples delivered this week.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the percentage of the delivered apples that have been sold:

Step 1 - The unitary method can be used in order to determine the percentage of the delivered apples that have been sold.

Step 2 - According to the given data, 90 boxes are 100% boxes of apples.

Step 3 - Now, let the percentage of the delivered apples that have been sold be 'x'. So, the value of 'x' is:

[tex]x = \dfrac{72}{90}\times 100[/tex]

Step 4 - Simplify the above expression.

[tex]x = 80\%[/tex]

Therefore, the percentage of the delivered apples have been sold is 80%.

Answer:

x=2c/3+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 2c from both sides.

−3x=−3−2c

The equation is in standard form.

−3x=−2c−3

Divide both sides by −3.

-3x/-3=-2c-3/-3

Dividing by −3 undoes the multiplication by −3.

x=-2c-3/-3

Divide −3−2c by −3.
