It costs $5.08 for 4 pounds of gummy candy in bulk. How much would it cost to buy 17 pounds?

$21.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically how I did it was to multiply 5.08 by 4, because that would be the cost of 16 bags and then I divided 5.08 by 4 to see how much one bag would cost. One bag costs 1.27. After I've got the answer, I added 1.27 to 20.32 and got $21.59.

y = 0.77(x)

step-by-step explanation:

the jacket retains this value after 23% cut or retains 77% of original value. plug original 87 jacket price for x and the remaining value should be y.

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
