What can readers determine from the "Average cost of Goods by Year” graphic on page 32?

Drag the correct answer into the box.

A.

Correct Answer
In 1985, people spent more of their total income on entertainment like going to the movies and eating
out.

B.

Based on the data in the graphic, the cost of movie tickets and fast food is unlikely to increase after 2017.

C.

From 1985 to 2017, the increase in cost for both movie tickets and fast food is roughly the same.

step-by-step explanation:

most likely the answer is a.

alice wins if a total of 5 is rolled. finn wins if a total of 9 is rolled.

(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

the answer is 13 cm
