Felix’s Feed Mill sells chicken feed for $8.00 per bag. This price is no longer high enough to create a profit. Felix decides to

raise the price. He is considering four different plans.
Plan A: Raise the price by $0.10 each week until the price reaches $12.00.

Plan B: Raise the price by 10 percent each week until the price reaches $12.00.

Plan C: Raise the price by the same amount each week for 8 weeks, so that in the eighth week the price is $12.00.

Plan D: Raise the price by $0.25 each week until the price reaches $12.00.

Which plan will result in the price of the feed reaching $12.00 fastest?
A.plan A
B.plan B
C.plan C
D.plan D

Plan B is the appropriate answer on edgenuity

Plans A and D are incorrect because plan C states that it would have a consistent price for 8 weeks, whereas plan D would require 16 weeks to reach $12, which eliminates A and D as options. If the price were to be increased by 10% weekly, it would take 5 weeks to hit $12, as 10% of $8 amounts to 80 cents, leading to a total increase of $4 after 5 weeks, making the price $12. This confirms that B is the right choice.

What are the eight-digit grid coordinates for benchmark 86 (circled in red)?
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

An eight-digit grid coordinate allows for precision within 10 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Grid coordinates are designed to direct accurately to a specific location by using a map that includes equally spaced vertical and horizontal lines, each assigned numbers to outline a place. The intersection of these vertical and horizontal lines has unique identifiers and creates small sections called grid squares.

The precision increases with the number of digits in the coordinate; an eight-digit designation gives accuracy to the nearest 10 meters.

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

What is a3 in an arithmetic sequence in which a10=41 and a15=61
zzz [12365]
\bf \begin{array}{llll}
term&value\\
-----&-----\\
a_{10}&41\\
a_{11}&41+d\\
a_{12}&(41+d)+d\\
&41+2d\\
a_{13}&(41+2d)+d\\
&41+3d\\
a_{14}&(41+3d)+d\\
&41+4d\\
a_{15}&(41+4d)+d\\
&41+5d=61
\end{array}
\\\\\\
41+5d=61\implies 5d=20\implies d=\cfrac{20}{5}\implies \boxed{d=4}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
d=4\\
n=10\\
a_{10}=41
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
41=a_1+(10-1)4\implies 41=a_1+36\implies \boxed{5=a_1}

therefore

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
d=4\\
n=3\\
a_{1}=5
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_3=a_1+(3-1)4\implies a_3=5+(3-1)4

and you are probably aware of the amount.
