the local market is selling apples by the pound. if a pound of apples is originally $5 and they are discounted at 1/4 off the original price what is the selling price of the apples?

There are several ways of solving this problem, and also any problem similar to this. We can start calculating what the 1/4 of 5 is.

To calculate that, we only need to multiply 5 by the fraction:

= = 1.25

And now, we know that from the 5 dollars, 1.25 is discounted, so we now substract 1.25 dollars to the ffive it costed initially.:

5 - 1.25 = 3.75 dollars

plz yuo

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
