An advertisement claims that a 5-pound box of detergent will wash 20 loads of laundry. a 5-pound box costs $3.50. a 15-pound box costs $10.00. about how much will you save per load if you buy the 15-pound box? a. 16.7 cents b. 0.8 cent c. 17.5 cents d. 8.3 cents

Answer. Option  B. 0.8 cents.

Solution:

With a 5-pound box of detergent will wash 20 loads of laundry, then with a 15-pound box (5*3) of detergent will wash 20*3=60 loads of laundry, and you would pay $10.00.

To wash 60 loads of laundry with 5-pound box, you would need three 5-pound box, and you would pay $3.50*3=$10.50.

Then you would save in total $10.50-$10.00=$0.50

And per load, you would save: $0.50/60=$0.008=0.008*100 cents=0.8 cents

the answer is 0.5 mpm

step-by-step explanation:

the line goes half way through the square each time (which is 0.5 or half of course) so that would mean its 0.5 mpm.

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24
