Marty bought a shirt for $9.50, sandals for $15.50, shorts for $11.75, and sunscreen for $5.25. Use mental math to find the total amount he spent. Explain.

Marty spent $42. How I got this answer is I added 11.75+5.25 first, equaling 17. Then I added 15.50 to 17, equaling 32.50. Finally I added 9.50 to 32.50 equaling 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

9.50+15.50+11.75+5.25= $42

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
