Question 11

Solve the problem.
-Mark has $75 to spend on salmon at $5.00 per pound and/or chicken at $3.00 per pound. If he buys s pounds of salmon and c pounds of chicken, the equation 5s + 3c = 75 must be satisfied. How much salmon did Mark buy if
He bought 5 pounds of chicken?
A) 12 lb
B) 16 lb
C) 19 lb
D) 17 lb

Accepted Answer

Substituting c = 5 into the equation 5s + 3c = 75 gives 5s + 3(5) = 75. Simplifying, 5s + 15 = 75. Subtracting 15 from both sides gives 5s = 60. Dividing both sides by 5 gives s = 12.

Question 15

Solve the problem.
-When going more than 38 miles per hour, the gas mileage of a certain car fits the model y = 43.81 - 0.395x where x is the speed of the car in miles per hour and y is the miles per gallon of gasoline. Based on this model, at what
Speed will the car average 15 miles per gallon? (Round to nearest whole number.)
A) 98 mph
B) 48 mph
C) 149 mph
D) 73 mph

Accepted Answer

To find the speed at which the car averages 15 miles per gallon, we set y = 15 in the equation and solve for x: 15 = 43.81 - 0.395x. Rearranging the equation gives 0.395x = 43.81 - 15, which simplifies to 0.395x = 28.81. Dividing both sides by 0.395 gives x ≈ 72.94, which rounds to the nearest whole number as 73 mph.

Question 17

Solve the problem.
-Yearly sales at a certain department store follow the model y = 85 - 13.254x where y is the total sales in thousands of dollars and x is the number of years after 1992. In what year will the sales first be less than
$35,000?
A) 1996
B) 1995
C) 1990
D) 1989

Accepted Answer

To find the year when sales first drop below $35,000, we need to solve for x in the equation $y = 85 - 13.254x < 35$. Converting $35,000 to thousands gives us 35. So, we solve $85 - 13.254x < 35$. Subtracting 85 from both sides gives $-13.254x < -50$. Dividing by -13.254 (and remembering to flip the inequality because we're dividing by a negative number) gives $x > 3.77$. Since x represents years after 1992, and we're looking for the first year sales drop below $35,000, we take the next whole number after 3.77, which is 4. Adding this to 1992 gives 1996. However, since we're looking for the first year it drops below $35,000, and the calculation shows it happens sometime during the fourth year after 1992, the first full year it would be below $35,000 is 1996.
