To determine the cost of a laptop, the seller considers the brand of the laptop, the tax rate, and the memory size. Which of the following is the dependent variable?

Percentages are fractions with denominator equal to 100. To convert a percent to decimal form, divide the value by 100.

The decimal form of 98.2% is 0.982.

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

First, add 2 to both sides of equation

The absolute conditions are:

If   , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=10, which is greater 0.

The first condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

The second condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

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

Using a calculator to evaluate 15÷27 results in 0.5555555556. To two decimal places, the answer becomes 0.56.

Thus, 0.56 is the decimal equivalent of 15/27.

we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank can hold. A full tank is equivalent to 1.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction as follows

(2frac{2}{5}=frac{left(2ast5 ight)+2}{5}=frac{10+2}{5}=frac{12}{5})

If we let x be the number of gallons in full tank, and setting up the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

(frac{x gallons}{1 full tank}=frac{frac{12}{5} gallons}{frac{4}{7}full tank})

Cross-multiply to find the value of x.

(frac{x }{1 full tank}=frac{frac{12}{5} gallons}{frac{4}{7}full tank})

(x astfrac{4}{7}full tank=frac{12}{5} gallonsast1 full tank)

(x =frac{frac{12}{5} gallonsast1 full tank}{frac{4}{7}full tank}=frac{12}{5}divfrac{4}{7} gallons=frac{12}{5}astfrac{7}{4}gallons=frac{21}{5}gallons)

Converting 21/5 to a mixed fraction is 4 1/5. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 4 1/5 gallons of water.

A histogram is used to visualize the frequency of a one variable over the other while a line graph is used to compare two variables.

A scatter plot used to show the correlation between two variables.

A pie chart is used to show the proportion of the given information in circle, with each section of a circle representing a given fraction of a whole.

From the given information, a pie chart is an appropriate tool show the frequency of the students choosing their favorite color.

The number of boxes is determined by volume of the room divided by volume of one box.

Number of boxes

Therefore, about 24 boxes can be stacked in the room.

A dependent variable is one that depends on the independent variable. An independent variable is one that when changed result in a change of another variable.

In this problem, if we change the brand of laptop, tax rate, and memory size, the price of the laptop changes. Thus, the cost of the laptop is the dependent variable.

We use the calculator to find the positive square root of 19, which is then multiplied by 3.

Using the calculator,

Multiplying the square root above with 3 becomes

The approximate value of 3 times the square root of 19 is 13.1.

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

We use the Pythagoras theorem as follows to find the unknown value of x as:

Thus, the value of unknown side of the triangle is 21.8 feet.

To find the cheapest option, we find the amount the consume will spend for each option given.:

• 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost $16+$5= $21
• 3 Packs of Orange will cost $16+$12=$28
• 2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost 2($15)+$7=$37
• 5 packs of cream Soda will cost 5($7)=$35

From the above evaluation, the cheapest option will cost the consumer $21. Thus, buying 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will be cheaper to purchase compared to other options.
