Answer: $6.50

Justification:

Work backward step by step.

1) Total bill: $125 given

2) Value of five scarves: multiply the number of scarves time the unit price

 5 * $12.00 = $ 60.00

3) Value of the socks: subtract the value of the scarves from the total bill

$ 125 - $ 60 = $65

4) divide $65 by the total number of pair of socks

If each bought two pairs, the total number of pairs is 5 * 2 = 10

So, the price of one pair is $65 / 10 = $6.50

Now,  you can verify:

- two pairs of socks each sister * 5 sisters = 10 pairs

- 10 pairs of socks at $6.50 each = 10*$6.50 = $ 65

- Five scarves at $ 12 each = 5 * $12 = $ 60

- Total bill = $ 65 + $ 60 = $ 125 => check.

Five and nine tenths in expanded form and standard
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

  • 5×1 +9×0.1
  • 5.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The verbiage "five and nine tenths" can refer to the mixed number 5 9/10, or to the decimal in standard form, 5.9. Simply converting the phrase to a decimal gets you the standard form.

The expanded form can be written a number of ways, depending on how you like to show the place value multipliers. The simplest expanded form is simply the sum of the digits:

  5 + 0.9

You can show the multipliers in standard form:

  5×1 + 9×0.1

Or, you can show the multipliers in exponential form:

  5×10⁰ +9×10⁻¹

What is the answer to 22.5+7(n-3.4)
ruslelena [56]
Expand the given expression.
22.5 + 7(n - 3.4) = 22.5 + 7*n + 7*(-3.4)

Multiply +7 and  -3.4 to obtain - 23.8. Therefore
22.5 + 7(n - 3.4) = 22.5 + 7n - 23.8

Write the constant terms together. Therefore
22.5 + 7(n - 3.4) = 7n + 22.5 - 23.8 = 7n - 1.3

Answer: 7n - 1.3

Anumeha is mowing lawns for a summer job. For every mowing job, she charges an initial fee of $ 10 $10dollar sign, 10 plus a con
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

F(t) = 10 + 5(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is as follows;

Anumeha is mowing lawns for a summer job. for every mowing job, she charges an initial fee of \$10$10dollar sign, 10 plus a constant fee for each hour of work. her fee for a 555-hour job, for instance, is \$35$35dollar sign, 35. let f(t)f(t)f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis denote anumeha's fee for a single job fff (measured in dollars) as a function of the number of hours ttt it took her to complete it. write the function's formula.

Solution

We are interested in writing the function F(t) formula for the fee charged by Anumeha per job.

Now, the key to writing this function is knowing exactly the constant fee she charges on the job.

We were told that she got $35 for a 5 hour job.

Thus, the constant amount charged is as follows;

Since it’s $10 as initial fee and the constant fee is per hour;

35 = 10 + 5(x)

where x is the constant fee per hour

35 = 10 + 5x

5x = 35-10

5x = 25

x = 25/5

x = $5

This mess that she charges a constant fee of $5 per hour

So we can write the equation now.

F(t) = 10 + 5(t)

where t represents the number of hours she spent on the job
