What is the unit price for a piece of cheese if 1.24 pounds costs $11.25? (please explain why the answer is what it is)
a. $0.11 per lb
b. $9.07 per lb
c. $12.49 per lb
d. $13.95 per lb

$9.07 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the total cost and divide by the number of pounds

$11.25/ 1.24

$9.072580645 per pound

Rounding to the nearest cent

$9.07 per pound

answer:

given the linear inequality :

add 2y to both sides we get;

simplify:

add 12 to both sides of an equation;

simplify:

divide both sides by 2 we get;

or

the related equation for the inequality equation [1] is;

y-intercepts defined as the graph crosses the y-axis.

substitute x =0 in [2] to solve for y;

y = 6

x-intercepts defined as the graph crosses the x-axis.

substitute value y = 0 to solve for x;

subtract 6 from both sides we get

multiply both sides by 2 we get;

or

x = -12

now, plot these point (0, 6) and (-12, 0) on graph as shown below and shade the graph below the solid line.
