Price of Rope 3 The amount a hardware store pays for buying nylon rope
is represented by the equation y = 0.12%, where y is the
price it pays for x feet of rope. The amount the hardware
store charges when selling the rope is represented by
the graph
The profit the store makes on the rope can be found by
subtracting the amount it charges for the rope from the
price it pays for the rope. If the store sells 80 feet of rope,
how much profit does it make on that rope?

The answer is 2.25 that makes profit

Step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
