If a pack of paper costs 3.75 including tax, and there is a $20 budget, then the equation to find out the answer would be 3.75p is greater or equal to $20. So the answer would be B. 3.75 would be multiplied by the tax and then applied up to $20.
Technically you would have to divide 18 in half which is 9 so 9 is your possible answer.
Answer:
Mrs. Wright's paycheck is $630
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Mrs. Wright's paycheck.
Mrs. Wright spent 2/9 of her paycheck on food. This means that the amount of money spent on food is 2/9 × x = 2x/9
She spent 1/3 on rent. This means that the amount spent on rent is
1/3 ×x x = x/3
Amount she spent on food and rent is x/3 + 2x/9 =3x + 2x /9
= 5x/9
The remainder is her pay check - the amount that she spent on food and rent. It becomes
x - 5x/9 = (9x- 5x)/9 = 4x/9
She spent 1/4 of the remainder on transportation. It means that she spent 1/4 × 4x/9 = x /9 on transportation.
Amount left = 4x /9 - x/9= 3x/9
She had $210 left. Therefore,
210 = 3x/9
3x = 9×210 = 1890
x = 1890/3
x = $630
To add the two expressions, we can write it as:
4.6x-3 + (-5.3x+9)
We can distribute the plus sign (which means just drop the parenthesis in this case):
4.6x-3-5.3x+9
Now, we can simplify by combining like terms:
-0.7x+6
I think it is B. y=0.75x+1. I think that 1 in. of water in a pool is the y-intercept.
