The total cost of four pens and seven mechanical pencils is $9.73. the cost of each mechanical pencil is 0.75 cents. which represents the cost of each pen?
(a) $0.75
(b) $1.00
(c) $1.12
(d) $1.30

(C) $1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply .75 by 7 to get the total pen cost. Then subtract that from $9.73 to get the total pencil cost, which is $4.48. Then divide by 4 since that is the amount of pencils.

Hope this helps

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
