An elevator moves at a rate of -5.8 feet per second from a height of 300 feet above the ground. the elevator takes 3 seconds to make its first stop.
how many feet above the ground is the elevator now?

282.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must figure out how far the elevator drops in three seconds.

To do so you multiply how far it falls per second (5.8 ft) by how long it falls for (3 seconds). 5.8 * 3 = 17.4

now you subtract 17.4 from 300 to get 282.6 ft

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
