Latoya bought 8 pounds of potatoes at a local wholesaler for $18. Her friend Herman bought 6 pounds of potatoes at the supermarket for $15. Herman thinks he got the better deal because $15 is less than $18. Use this information for Parts A, B, and C below.

Latoya is correct because she bought more potatios imma show you how :D

Step-by-step explanation:

if you hit ㏒ then ⇒⇒⇒∛ you should get Latoya is correct :D↑↓ωωωωωωω°°°°°°⊕∅∅∅∅∩∩∩∩∩⊂↑

Latoya got a better deal because she paid less than Herman by 25 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Latoya 18 divided by 8= $2.25

Herman 15 divided by 6= $2.50

So Latoya saves $0.25 cents

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
