A maple syrup producer has a booth at a Sunday farmer's market. The producer sells organic maple syrup by the pint. To get customers to start buying more pints of organic maple syrup, the producer is trying out a new discount system. Customers buying more than two pint bottles will get a discount per pint, beginning with the third pint bottle. For these customers, the expression shown represents the total price, in dollars, of buying p pints of organic maple syrup. 29.50 + 13.50(p – 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The question has missing details. However, I will solve on a general term.

A possible question could be to find the cost of purchasing (say 10 bottles).

To do this, we simply substitute 10 for p.

So:

i.e. $137.50 for 10 pint bottles

Another possible question is to calculate the number of pint bottles that amount to (say $70).

To do this, we simply substitute 70 for Price.

So:

Collect like terms

Divide both sides by 13.50

Add 2 to both sides

i.e. $70 will buy 5 pint bottles

Use this explanation to find solution to your question

neither i nor ii 56 / 4.9 = 11.91489362 and 82 / (11+5) =5.125 so i is wrong

ii. (24/8+2) times 3 = 15 and (42+9)/2 =25.5

step-by-step explanation:

56

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
