Big Al, the ape, ate 100 bananas from May 1 through May 5. Each day he ate six more bananas than on the previous day. How many bananas did Big Al eat on May 5?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Set up an expression.
Each day he ate 6 more bananas, so

x will be the number of bananas he ate on the first day.
x + (x+6) + (x+6+6) + (x+6+6+6) + (x+6+6+6+6) = 100
5x +60 = 100
5x = 40
x = 8

Now on the 5th day, May 5, he ate (x+6+6+6+6), which is (8+6+6+6+6+6), which equals 38.
On May 5, he ate 38 bananas.

0.4(2x-9)-0.6(4x+5)=

Answers

Answer:

From what I can comprehend I believe the answer is 3.2x + -4

Step-by-step explanation:

0.4(2x-9) = 0.8x - 9

0.8x - 9 - 0.6(4x+5)=

0.8x - 9 + 2.4x+5

0.8+2.4 = 3.2x

-9 + 5 = -4

3.2x + -4

Answers

Answer:

4353.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 bedrooms and a living room, sorry I forgot to add that in, there's also 3 small windows and a large one

3 rooms

552*3 = 1656

small window = 539.50 * 3 = 1618.50

Large window - 2*539.50 = 1079

1656+1618.5+1079=4353.5

Answer:

J. $354

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three rooms (including the two bedrooms and one living room) that will have a ceiling fan in it. The price of one ceiling fan is $52.0 . $52 x 3= $156.

There are four windows, including one large one and three small ones. The price of one small curtain is $39.50. $39.50 x 3= $118.50 .

The price of one large curtain is double that of a small curtain. $39.50 x 2= $79.

Now, let's add this all up. $156 (3 ceiling fans) + $118.5 (3 small curtains) + $79 (1 large curtain) = $353.5

Round your answer to get $354.
