A:
Answer:Listed below.Step-by-step explanation:Shelly's problem:Part I) On the third week she had 400$ on her account. This can easily be analyzed from the table of Shelly's account balance. Part II) She deposits 60$ every week. We know that on day 0 Shellly had 220$. If after a week she has 280$ on her account, then that means that she earned 60$. The same is earned after every week of work. Part III) A. W = weeks workedM= money earned. B. [tex]M=220$+60$. W[/tex]. We know that she had 220$ on her account since day 0. Then she adds 60$ per week (W). The total of her account is represented by M, and the weeks are represented by W.Part IV) We sustitute the W with a 7 that represents the number of weeks she worked and we get: [tex]M=220$+60$. 7 = 640$[/tex]4) In this problem, we know that both CD's and CD player cost in total 96$ (from the CD's) + 144$ (from the CD player, that is 48$ more expensive than the CD's). 96$+144$=240$Part I) A. C = CD playerB. C= 96 + 144Part II) C = 240$. we know that both CD's and CD player cost in total 96$ (from the CD's) + 144$ (from the CD player, that is 48$ more expensive than the CD's). 5)Part I) A. [tex]P = C : 2 +10[/tex]C= caloriesP= potassiumB. [tex]P = 120 : 2 +10 = 70 mg[/tex]The amount of potassium is the result between the addition of the half of 120 and 10. Part II)A. [tex]C= \frac{1}{3} . K -5[/tex]C= carbohydratesK=calories. B. [tex]C= \frac{1}{3} . 120 -5 =35[/tex]The amount of carbohydrates can be calculated multiplying one third by 120 and then resting 5.
