PRACTICE SET 1 (No CALCULATOR) 1. A peanut processing facility packs 18-ounce bags of unshelled peanuts. For consistency, a machine in
the facility ensures that all of the bags are within 0.25 ounces of the 18-ounce goal. If the weight of
peanuts in a bag is P, write an inequality that models the acceptable range of P, in ounces.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
