Each packet of the cooking oil weighs 2/5th of a kilogram and one kilogram of the cooking oil costs $6.5. Sara went to the grocery shop to buy some items to stock her kitchen. If she bought 8 packets of the cooking oil, how much money did she spend? A $19.60 B $18.20 C $20.80 D $23.40

C) $20.80

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kg of cooking oil = $6.5

1 packet of cooking oil =2/5 kg

If 1 kg of cooking oil = $6.5

2/5kg of cooking oil = $X

Cross Multiply

1kg × $X = 2/5kg × $6.5

$X = 13/5

$X = 2.6

Hence 2/5kg of oil cost $2.6

Since 1 packet of oil = 2/5kg of oil , 1 packet of oil cost $2.6

The amount she spent if she bought if she bought 8 packets of the cooking oil is calculated as:

1 packet of oil = $2.6

8 packets of oil =

$2.5 × 8

= $20.80

Therefore,if Sara bought 8 packets of oil, the amount she would spend = $20.80

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
