Aproduce stand has 1500 fresh vegetables and fruits for sale. there are 20 pears, 50 oranges, 35 broccoli, and 60 ears of corn. the pears cost $2.00 each, broccoli cost $0.50 per pound, and corn is 3 ears for $1.00. after visiting the stand, bill buys a tea at the local cafe for $2.75. the area tax is 7%. bill has $50 and wants to spend the least amount of money as possible.
what is the price for the cheaper of the following choices: 2 pears and 3 pounds of broccoli or 3 pears and 6 ears of corn? round the price to the nearest cent.

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer

~

1 + (6 / x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

divide using polynomial division.

(53.5 - 18.4) m.

step-by-step explanation:

after undergoing a displacement of 18.4m, the initial position was (53.5 - 18.4) m if an object has a final position of 53.5.

the rate of change is 25
