Carol is excited to get a new kitten from the animal shelter. the kitten had an $299 adoption fee. carol had $50 off coupon for the adoption and will also have to pay $20 per month for food and supplies. how longg will it take for carol to spend $250

1 month

Step-by-step explanation:

249 is the amount she spends for buying the kitten, (299-50=249) which she only has to pay once.

20 is the amount she has to spend every month, the rate of change.

The problem can be modeled with the general equation:

y = 20x + 249

In this equation, x the the time in months and y is the amount of money spent.

Substitute 250 for y.

y = 20x + 249

250 = 20x + 249    <= isolate x to get the number of months

1 = 20x

x = 1/20

Carol will only spent money every month, not for 1/20 of a month.

It will only take Carol 1 month to spent $250.

Check

Substitute x for 1

y = 20x + 249

y = 20(1) + 249

y = 269

269 is more than 250 already.

probability for j is 1/4

while

a is 1/6

the correct answer is c
