A recycling center was offering cash for different types of recyclables. For each pound of copper they paid $1.48, for each pound of aluminum they paid $1.55, and for each pound of plastic they paid $0.30. Jesse took in 50 pounds of copper, 15 pounds of aluminum and 10 pounds of plastic. How much money was he paid for his recyclables?

100.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply the amount the copper cost by however many pounds of it he brought in you do this to the others as well but of course theres different numbers for example it would be like this.

Copper=1.48x50=$74.00

Aluminum=1.55x15=$23.25

Plastic=0.30x10=$3.00

Then add those numbers together to get the amount of money he made off of his recyclables. Which the number you would get is 100.25 Hope this helps!!

the answer is 15% decrease

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
