Margo can purchase tile at a store for $0.99 per tile and rent a tile saw for $24. At another store she can borrow the tile saw for free if she buys tiles there for $1.39 per tile. How many tiles must she buy for the cost to be the same at both stores? PLEASE HELP ME HOMEWORK DUE TONIGHT!!!

60 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Make equations equal,

.99x + 24 = 1.39x

Move all terms containing  x  to the left side of the equation & subtact 24

-.4x = -24

Divide

x = 60

Double check:

.99(60) + 24 = 83.4

1.39(60) = 83.4

i hope this helps :)

5.5

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
