Answer:

Option C $\left|80-5x\right|\le 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> represent the price of a concert ticket

We know that

The total cost should not exceed $4 more than $80

Therefore,

$5x\leq 80+4$

Solving for x gives:

$x\leq \$16.80$

The total cost should also not fall below $4 under $80

Hence,

$5x\geq 80-4$

Solve for x again:

$5x\geq 76$

$x\geq \$15.2$

This indicates that

The inequality representing this scenario is

$\left|5x-80\right|\le 4$

Verification

First solution (positive scenario)

$+(5x-80)\le 4$

$5x\le 80+4$

Resolve for x:

$x\leq \$16.80$ ----> is valid

Second solution (negative scenario)

$-(5x-80)\le 4$

Multiplying both sides by -1

$(5x-80)\ge -4$

$5x\geq 80-4$

Resolve for x:

$5x\geq 76$

$x\geq \$15.2$ ---> is valid

It is important to remember that

$\left|5x-80\right|\le 4$ is equivalent to $\left|80-5x\right|\le 4$

Due to the absolute value constraint.

Emma earns $6 each time she mows the lawn and $8 per hour for babysitting. She is saving up to buy a new pair of jeans that cost

zzz [12365]

Answer:

The illustration provided shows the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> number of times Emma cuts the grass

y ------> hours Emma spends babysitting

it is known that

$6x+8y\geq 48$ ------> represents the inequality of the scenario

The solution is the shaded region above the solid line where both x and y are positive

The equation for the solid line is represented as $6x+8y=48$

The slope of the line is negative $m=-\frac{3}{4}$

The y-intercept is at the point $(0,6)$ (the y-value when x is zero)

The x-intercept is at $(8,0)$ (the x-value when y equals zero)

therefore

A stadium asked for $760,000 for naming rights. During a bidding war for the stadium naming rights, one company bid 7% more than

AnnZ [12381]

Response:

$\$\ 829464$

Detailed explanation:

First company bid:

The bid is $7\%$ more

$7\%$ of $760000=\frac{7}{100}\times760000=53200$

Bid of first $=760000+53200=813200$

Second company bid:

The second company’s bid is $2\%$ higher than the first

$2\%$ of the first bid $=\frac{2}{100}\times 813200=16264$

As a result, the second company's bid is $=813200+16264=829464$

A rectangular garden is 6 feet long and 4 feet wide. A second rectangular garden has dimensions that are double the dimensions o

Svet_ta [12734]

Response:

100 percent increase

Detailed explanation:

1st garden

Length = 6 ft

Width = 4 ft

Perimeter = 2 (l+w)

= 2 (6+4) = 2(10) = 20

2nd garden

The length and width of this garden are double those of the first

Length = 2 *6 = 12

Width = 2 *4 = 8

Perimeter = 2 (l+w)

= 2 (12+8) = 2(20) = 40

Percent change = (new - old )/old * 100 percent

The first garden represents the old garden = 20 and the second refers to the new garden = 40

Substituting values in

Percent change = (40-20)/20 = 20/20 =100 *100 percent

= 100 percent increase
