Sam wanted to buy candy for all of his friends to share at lunch. one pound of chocolates cost $6.95, but sim only needs 0.6 of a pound. what will be the total cost for the chocolates sam buys?

The answer to your question is cost of 0.6 pound of candy $4.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

1 pound of candy = $6.95

only 0.6 pounds

final cost = ?

Process

1.- Use proportions to find the cost of 0.6 pounds of candy

               1 pound of candy $6.95

               0.6 pound of candy   x

2.- Use cross multiplication

                 x = (0.6 x 6.95) / 1

3.- Simplification and result

                 x = $ 4.17          

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

the system of inequity is

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

the related equation of solid line is .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

the related equation of dashed line is

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be . the required inequality is

similarly, check the second related equation.

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is
