In january 2013 a country‘s first class mail rates increased to 42 cents for the 1st ounce and 22 cents for each additional ounce. is sabrina spent $16.24 for a total of 52 stamps of these two denominations how many stamps of each denomination did she buy? she bought 42 cent stamps and 22 cent stamps

She bought 24-42 cent stamps

And, 28-22 cent stamps.

Here we assume  n be the number of 42-cent stamps

The equation should be

0.42n +0.22(52 -n) = 16.24

0.20n + 11.44 = 16.24

0.20n = 4.80

n = 24

Now

= 52 - n

= 52 - 24

= 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of 42-cent stamps Sabrina bought. Then 52-n is the number of 22-cent stamps she bought. Her total expense was ...

  0.42n +0.22(52 -n) = 16.24 . . . . total price of stamps

  0.20n + 11.44 = 16.24 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  0.20n = 4.80 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 11.44

  n = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of n

  52-n = 28 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . find the number of 22-cent stamps

She bought 24 42-cent stamps and 28 22-cent stamps.

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0

the number of the people going.

step-by-step explanation:

the cost to buy one movie ticket is $7. if the total cost for the movie is a function of how many people go, then the input is : the number of the people going.
