Peaches are being sold for $2 per pound. If x represents the number of pounds of peaches bought and yrepresents the total cost of the peaches, which best describes the values of x and y?
Let
x----------> represents the number of pounds of peaches bought
y----------> represents the total cost of the peaches
we know that
Peaches are being sold for [tex]2\frac{\$}{pound}[/tex]
so
the equation that best describes the values of x and y is equal to
[tex]y=2x[/tex] or [tex]x=y/2[/tex]
The relationship between the two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation
therefore
the answer is
[tex]y=2x[/tex] or [tex]x=y/2[/tex]
Carlos purchased an antique chair for $15 he later so this year for $27 to an antique dealer what was the percent markup of the chair
Answer: The required percent markup is 80%.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Carlos purchased an antique chair for $15 and later he sold it this year for $27 to an antique dealer.
We are to find the percent markup of the chair.
The markup price of the chair is given by
[tex]m_p=\$(27-15)=\$12.[/tex]
Since Carlos purchased the chair for $15, so the markup percent is given by
[tex]\dfrac{m_p}{15}\times100\%\\\\\\=\dfrac{12}{15}\times100\%\\\\\\=\dfrac{4}{5}\times100\%\\\\=80\%.[/tex]
Thus, the required percent markup is 80%.

− $0.75 (coupon)
− $1.00 (coupon)
The register gives your total bill as $21.77.
(a) Round each price and coupon to the nearest dollar and then estimate the total amount of the bill.
(b) Using your estimate, determine whether the total on the register is reasonable. Justify your answer.
Answer and explanation:
Given : At the grocery store checkout, you watch at the register as it rings up your purchases and coupons.
The register gives your total bill as $21.77.
To find :
(a) Round each price and coupon to the nearest dollar and then estimate the total amount of the bill.
The prices are as follows:
$2.95 estimated to $3 as (9>5)
$1.19 estimated to $1 as (1<5)
$4.61 estimated to $5 as (6>5)
$1.74 estimated to $2 as (7>5)
$3.04 estimated to $3 as (0<5)
$8.83 estimated to $9 as (8>5)
$1.16 estimated to $1 as (1<5)
− $0.75 (coupon) estimated to -$1 as (7>5)
− $1.00 (coupon) estimated to -$1 as (0<5)
The total amount bill is $3+$1+$5+$2+$3+$9+$1-$1-$1=$22.
So, Estimated total amount of the bill is $22.
(b) Using your estimate, determine whether the total on the register is reasonable. Justify your answer.
The register gives your total bill as $21.77.
The total on the register is reasonable because even with the rounded price at the end the price became same which is reasonable.
As 21.77 estimated to 22 as (7>5).

According to the school survey, 12% of the students at Rockwood Junior High School speak Spanish. There are 36 students at the school who speak Spanish. How many students were surveyed?
Answer:
300 students were surveyed.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Percentage of students at Rockwood Junior High School who speak Spanish = 12%
Number of students at Rockwood Junior High School who speak Spanish = 36
We have to find the total number of students who surveyed:
Formula:
Let x be the total number of students who were surveyed.
[tex]12\% \text{ of }x = 36\\\\\displaystyle\frac{12}{100}\times x = 36\\\\x = \frac{36\times 100}{12}\\\\x = 300[/tex]
Thus, 300 students were surveyed.

Colin drove 45 minutes to the air port. He arrived 90 minutes before his flight departed and then he spent 70 minutes in the air. Once he landed Colin spent 20 minutes gathering his language and the. He drive 35 minutes to his hotel what must be true of any expression that represents the hotel time Collin spent traveling from his house to the hotel.
Given: The time taken to do each activity from Colin's house to his hotel in given.
he drove to the airport for 45 minuteshe waited at the airport for the flight to depart for 90 minuteshis fight duration was 70 minutesupon landing, he gathered his luggage for 20 minuteshe drove to the hotel for 35 minutesTo Find: what is true of any expression that represents the total time Collin spent traveling from his house to the hotel
Solution: Any expression will involve the sum of all the durations of his various activities i.e., 260 minutes or 4 hours and 20 minutes.
Explanation:
As each of the activities described is an independent activity that does not overlap, we can easily sum up the durations of each to find the total time Collin took from his house to the hotel.
We add it as follows :
he drove to the airport for 45 minutes + he waited at the airport for the flight to depart for 90 minutes + his fight duration was 70 minutes + upon landing, he gathered his luggage for 20 minutes + he drove to the hotel for 35 minutes.
So, 45+90+70+20+35 = 260 minutes
which means it took a total of 260 minutes or 4 hours and 20 minutes from Collin's house to his hotel.

A physicist working in a large laboratory has found that light particles traveling in a particle accelerator increase velocity in a manner that can be described by the linear function −4x + 3y = 9, where x is time and y is velocity in kilometers per hour. Use this function to determine when a certain particle will reach 50km/hr.
The particle will reach 50km/hr when x =
.
Answer:
x = 35.25 hr
Step-by-step explanation:
The velocity model is given by −4x + 3y = 9, where x is time and y is velocity in kilometers per hour.
Solve the equation for x
Add 4x to both sides of the equation
[tex]3y=4x+9[/tex]
Subtract 9 to both sides
[tex]3y-9=4x[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4
[tex]x=\frac{3}{4}y-\frac{9}{4}[/tex]
Now, we have to find x for y = 50
Replace y with 50
[tex]x=\frac{3}{4}\cdot50-\frac{9}{4}\\\\x=\frac{75}{2}-\frac{9}{4}\\\\x=\frac{141}{4}\\\\x=35.25[/tex]
Therefore, the particle will reach 50 km/hr when x = 35.25 hr
What is the value of the function at x= -2?
Answer:
The correct answer is y = 2
0.12 or 1.2% which is greater
1.2% is the greater percentage than 0.12
What is the percentage?A percentage is a minimum number or ratio that is measured by a fraction of 100.
We need to find 0.12 or 1.2% which is greater
0.12 isn’t a full percent, the decimal determines the greatness of the two number.
1.2% is the larger number.
1.2% = 1.2/100
= 0.012
Therefore, 1.2% is the greater percentage than 0.12

A movie theater has 24 screens. The ratio of action films to other film is 1:2 in the summer. How many action films are shown?
Answer:
8 action films being shown
Step-by-step explanation:
Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.
Based on this question we can see that the movie theater has 1 action movie for every 2 other type of movies. We can add these two numbers together and divide by 24 to find out how many action movies are playing compared to the other types of movies.
[tex]1 + 2 = 3[/tex]
[tex]24 / 3 = 8[/tex]
8 action movies : 16 other type of movies

Rachel bought 6 1/4 pounds of dried fruit. If 1/3 of the fruit was dried apricots, how many pounds of dried apricots did she buy?
Rachel bought 6 1/4 pounds of dried fruit. If 1/3 of the fruit was dried apricots, then the pounds of dried apricots which she bought was 25/12 or 2.08pounds.
What is Arithmetic operation?This basically comprises of operations such as Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division.
Operations such as 'of ' are usually represented with the multiplication sign which is ( × ). In this scenario we were told that 1/3 of the 6 1/4 pounds of dried fruit was dried apricot.
This therefore means that 1/3 of 25/4 = 1/3 × 25/4 = 25/12.
This means that 25/12 or 2.08pounds was bought by her.
