They estimate that their current (older) fridge, which they got for free, costs them about $17 a month in electricity charges to operate. They found a new fridge that costs $1,050 to purchase and would cost only around $6 a month in electricity charges.

The new fridge comes with a 10-year warranty, so they assume the new fridge to last for 10 years without any extra repair or replacement fees.

If they keep their old fridge, then they assume they will need to pay around $220 sometime over the next 10 years in maintenance costs to keep it running.

(For this comparison, assume they set aside the money to maintain the old fridge right at the beginning of the 10 years, even though they probably won't need the money until several years later.)



Let x represent the number of months. Let y represent total cost in dollars.

Step 3: Apply Quantitative Tools

Set up a system of equations that could be used to help Garrett and Judy Kay decide if buying the new fridge is worth it.

Create functions that describe the total cost in dollars for each fridge.

New Fridge Total Cost Function

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

current (older) fridge

electricity charges= $17 monthly

maintenance costs= $220

let the number of months be x

and the total cost be yo

the expression for the cost for the old fridge is

yo=220+17x---------1

New  fridge

electricity charges= $6 monthly

costs=  $1,050

let the number of months be x

and the total cost be yn

the expression for the cost for the old fridge is

yn= 1050+6x---------2

Hence the system of equation for the situation is

yo=220+17x---------1

yn= 1050+6x---------2

Step two

for 10 years there are 12*10= 120 months

put x= 120 in both expressions and compare the total

yo=220+17(120)---------1

yo=220+2040

yo=$2,260

yn= 1050+6(120)---------2

yn=1050+720

yn=$1770

Based on the analysis it will be less expensive to get the new fridge, hence buying the new fridge is worth it.

Step-by-step explanation:

For number 2, you take the amount of cookies, x, and divide it by the number of hours, a, and you get x / a = 12.25 or 12.6

For number 3, you do the same as in number 2, you take the pages read, x, divided by the time, a, and get x / a = s

Answers

Given:

The figure.

To find:

The theorems that proves triangles SRP and QRP are congruent.

Solution:

From the given figure, it is clear that in triangle SRP and QRP,

Hypotenuse of triangles : [tex]PS=PQ[/tex]             (Given)

Legs of triangles : [tex]SR=QR[/tex]             (Given)

Since, hypotenuse and one leg of first triangle is equal to the hypotenuse and corresponding leg of another triangle, therefore, both triangles are congruent by HL postulate of congruence.

[tex]\Delta SRP\cong \Delta QRP[/tex]            (HL postulate of congruence)

Therefore, the correct option is E .

1. In a supermarket, each orange costs $3, and each apple costs $2. If you want to spend
exactly $45, write an equation in standard form modeling this situation. Let o represent
the number of oranges you buy, and a represent the number of apples you buy.

Answers

Answer:

3o  + 2a = $45 ( you can buy 9 oranges and 9 apples)

Step-by-step explanation:

First I divided 45 by 3 and I got 15 so now I know that 15 is the highest amount of oranges I can buy without going over $45. I also know that 15 cannot be an answer because I also have to buy apples.

Then I divided 45 by 2 and 22 was the highest whole number.

Now I would play trial and error BUT i know that the number for oranges have to be less that 15 and the number for apples has to be less than 22.

3 times 9 equals 27 (oranges)

45 - 27 = 18

2 times 9 equals 18 (apples)

3o+2a =$45 is the  equation in standard form modeling this situation.

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

Given that in a supermarket, each orange costs $3, and each apple costs $2.

Let o represents the number of oranges you buy

and a represent the number of apples you buy.

If you want to spend exactly $45

We have to find the equation to model this situation

3o+2a =$45

Hence, 3o+2a =$45 is the  equation in standard form modeling this situation.

30% of x = 12

Answers

30% = 0.30

0.30x = 12

Divide both sides by 0.30

X = 12/0.30

X = 40

Answer:

x=40

Step-by-step explanation:

30% is the same as 3/10.

-So now you have 3/10 of x = 12.

The term “of” in the equation is the same as multiplication.

-So now you have 3/10 · x = 12 (the dot is multiplication)

Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/10, which is 10/3

-So now you have x=120/3, which is equal to x=40 (that’s you answer)

You can check your answer by plugging in 40 for x.

30% of 40 is indeed equal to 12.

To get the monthly gross pay, you double the semi-monthly gross pay. In other words, you multiply by 2.

Once you know how much you earn per month, you multiply that by 12 to get your annual pay.

The term "gross" in financial terms means the amount of money before taxes and other fees apply. The net pay is after taxes and other fees are deducted from your paycheck. This means the net pay is going to be smaller than the gross pay.

Evaluating Mixed fractions and Adding like terms

Simplifying the Mixed Fractions:

to simplify these mixed fractions, we will multiply the whole number part with the fraction's denominator and add that to the numerator.

The number formed will be given the same denominator as of the fraction part in the number

After simplifying these mixed fraction, we get:

[tex]\frac{16}{5}x + \frac{97}{9}x - \frac{12}{5}x - \frac{98}{9}x[/tex]

Adding and Subtracting the like terms:

to simplify our calculations, we will pair the numbers with the same denominator
