Simone paid $12 for an initial year's subscription to a magazine. The renewal rate is $7 per year. This situation can be represented by the equation y = 7x + 12, where x represents the number of years the subscription is renewed and y represents the total cost, in dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Simone paid $12 initial subscription

The rate renewable = $7 per year

let the number of years be x

and the total amount be y

the linear function/expression for the total amount is represented using the equation of line

i.e y=mx+c

where

     m= gradient = $7

     x= independent variable

     c= constant, $12

this is also given as

y=7x+12

Step two:

let's assume the plan is for 3 years, that is x=3

then

y=7(3)+12

y=21+12

y=33

$33

For any number of years, just put x=the number of years and solve

0.85 or 85%

step-by-step explanation:

1) divide 23 by 27

2) round the decimal to the nearest 10

3) so your answer would be 0.85 or 85%
