Soft Drinks

Orange

Two 24-packs for $15; one 24-pack for $9

Root Beer

One 24-pack for $14

Cream Soda

One 12-pack for $3

A consumer needs to purchase at least 50 soft drinks for a picnic. Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?

we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.

First, add 2 to both sides of equation

Add 10 to both sides of the equation

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

If u=a, a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=5, which is greater 0.

The first condition becomes

Solving for x

The second condition becomes

Solving for x

Then, the value of x is -4/3 or 2.

The final price of the stock on Thursday can be found by finding the price on the previous day taking into account the price changes as follows.

The price of the stock on Monday was $33.65

On Tuesday the price of the stock went up by $1.23 from Monday’s price. Then, Tuesday’s price was $(33.65+1.23)=$34.88

The price of the stock on Wednesday decreased by $0.97 from Tuesday’s price. The price on Wednesday became $(34.88-0.97)=$33.91

Thursday’s price increased by $2.75 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(33.91+2.75)=$36.66

Therefore, the final price of the stock on Thursday was $36.66.

The length of the door could be appropriately measured in meters. Kilometers are used to measure long distances while millimeters could be used to measure the length of very small objects. However, liters are used to measure the volume of liquids or objects.

 In this problem, we need to compare the number of dimes to quarters.

If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,

Number of quarters in the bottle = 6p

Number of nickels in the bottle = 2p

Number of dimes in the bottle =5(2p)=10p

Now relating dimes to nickels, we have

Thus, there are 5 times as many dimes as quarters in the box.

To find the amount of vanilla in mL, we set up an equation in a way the unwanted units cancel out and leave the wanted unit we are looking for. Then,

Thus, a recipe of 6 teaspoons equals 29.58 mL.

 To find the minimum length requires, we need to understand what slope in the question represents. The slope represents the ratio between the height to the length. Let x be the minimum length of the ramp. Then,

Now, we find the value of x by cross-products as follows

Thus, the minimum length required to provide access is 60 feet.

Given the equation F(z)=9z+28

To find the value of F(z), we need to vary the value of z. In this case, z is the independent variable while F(z) is what we measure, which is the dependent variable.

 we use the calculator to determine the positive square root of 20, which is then multiplied by 20.

Using the calculator,

Multiplying the square root above with 5 becomes

The approximate value is 26.9.

the mean of a data set is the total scores divided by the number of tests.

Total test scores =80+68+74+87+96=405

Number of tests =5

Mean test score =405/5=81

The mean test score is 81.

 Let the unknown length of the x. The resulting rectangle is shown below.

Then, we apply the Pythagoras theorem to find the value of x as:

The value of the unknown length is approximately 17.7 feet.
