Hello!

To start, use your given information:
- the amount of grapes bought are unknown, but the cost per pound is $1.29
- the amount of potatoes bought are also unknown and the cost per pound is $0.85
- The total cost of potatoes and grapes was less than $5

Then, you can use the given information to define your variables with respect to the order the objects are listed in:
x represents the amount of potatoes
y represents the amount of grapes

Knowing this, you can take a look at all the answer choices.

The answers would definitely not be the second or third one as it states that the total cost is greater than 5 dollars.

The answer could be the first answer choice, however we have defined our variables with respect to how they were listed in the problem so it would not be the first answer.

Now that you have narrowed down the choices, your final answer would be
0.85x+1.29y<5 (the last answer)

Marie currently has a collection of 58 stamps if she buys s stamps each week for w Weeks which expression represents the total n
laila [671]

58 stamps is the number she gets each week. So if she went for one week, 58*1=58. 58*2=116 and so on. Because we don't know the exact number of weeks, we say 58w or 58*w because you multiply however many number of weeks she collects.

Grace invested $5,200 in an account paying an interest rate of 4.6% compounded daily. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are ma
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use this formula for when compounding is either not continuous or is not annually:

A(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{(n)(t)} where P is the initial investment, r is the interest rate in decimal form, n is the number of times the compounding occurs per year, and t is the time in years.  For us:

P = 5200,

r = .046,

n = 365, and

t = 11

A(t)=5200(1+\frac{.046}{365})^{(365)(11)} and

A(t)=5200(1+.000126)^{4015} and

A(t)=5200(1.000126)^{4015} and

A(t) = 5200(1.658408042) so

A(t) = $8623.72

What is 0.625 as a fraction in simplest form?
GrogVix [38]
0.625 = 0.625 / 1

Numerator = 0.625 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 625
Denominator = 1 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000

Numerator / Denominator = 625 / 1000

Our simplifed fraction is:

= 625/1000

= 5/8

A couple is required by their lender to have a down payment of 20% of the purchase price of the home they want to buy. If the co
Stella [2.4K]

Down payment is 20% of the price of the home. Since the couple saved $35,000, and assuming they will pay the whole money as down payment, the highest priced home they can get is a price whose 20% is $35,000.

We can setup an equation in x (being the price of home) to get the price of the most expensive home they can buy.

<em>Which number (x) , multiplied by 20%, is equal to $35,000?</em>

<em>x(0.2)=35,000\\x=\frac{35,000}{0.2} \\x=175,000</em>

So, the most expensive house they can buy is worth $175,000.
