Sarah sells fruit trays at a salad shop. last week, she sold 450 fruit trays for $8 per tray. in previous weeks, she found that for every $0.85 increase in the price, she sold 15 fewer fruit trays. which equation can be used to find sarah's weekly sales income in dollars, y, after x price increases of $0.85?

Sarah's income = Number of trays × Rate per tray

y = 450 × 8

If there is an increase of 0.85 in price,

New price = 8 + 0.85

For x number of increases,

new price = 8 + 0.85x.

Number of trays reduced = 450 - 15x.

So, Sarah's income in this case is y = (450 - 15x) (8 + 0.85x).

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
