Cookies are being sold in the cafeteria to raise money for the cheerleaders. One giant cookie costs $1 while each one bought after costs $0.75. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent the situation.

y = 0.75x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent this information

Since $1 is the cost of 1 only, this represents our y intercept

It means if we are not interested in purchasing more than 1, our cost will be $1

Now, for each one bought after, we have a rate of $0.75 per one

Mathematically, that will be $0.75 times the number bought after

Hence. we have that;

y = 0.75x + 1

if 1, x = 0; so we have cost of 1 as $1

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
