the price of gasoline increased 25% from july to august. if c = cost of gasoline in july, write two expressions that represent the price of gas in august.

if you know the cost of gas in july, which expression do you think would be easier to use to calculate the cost of gas in august and why?

1. august price = c + 0.25c

2. august price = 1.25c

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells us that the price of gas in August is 25% more than in July. Thus, 25% of the July price (0.25c) is added to the July price (c) to get the August price.

  c + 0.25c

The sum in the first part can be simplified by combining the coefficients of c.

  1.25c

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
