The answer is: We let x be the number of bushels of grain bought each week.

The cost if Supplier A is chosen is represented by:
CA = 5.25x + 3x

The cost if Supplier A is chosen is represented by:
CB = 6.50x + 1500

If x = 500

Then,
CA = 5.25(500) + 3(500)
CA = $4,125

CB = 6.50(500) + 1500
CB = $4,750

Supplier A could cost more if the production company bought 500 bushes of grain each week. hope this helps :D

ANSWER:

supplier B would cost 625 more than supplier a


Step-by-step explanation:

so for supplier A each bushel is 5.25

so 5.25 x 500 = 2625

and we have to add the shipping for each bushel to that price so

3 x 500 = 4125 including the price of 500 bushels

follow the same steps for b and find that supplier bs total is 4750

so supplier B is 625 more than supplier A

Leokris [45]
To answer this question, you need to makes the unit of the smartphone screen same. In this case, phone A is using decimal and phone B is using a fraction. You can use which was easier.
Let's try to use decimal. Then you need to convert phone B fraction width into decimal width. The calculation would be: 5cm + 1/3cm= 5 cm + 0.333cm= 5.333cm
From here it clear that phone B has a wider screen than phone A.

A new parking lot is being built for a medical office. The expression representing the number of parking spots in the new lot is
docker41 [41]

Answer:

111 spots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y denote the total number of parking spots expressed as:

y=\frac{15x}{4}-9\\\\

Given that x is the number of spots in the first row.

-Now, given that the first row has 32 spots, we substitute in the expression to solve for y:

y=\frac{15x}{4}-9,\ \ x=32\\\\=\frac{15\times 32}{4}-9\\\\=120-9\\\\=111

Hence, there are 111 spots in the parking lot.
