A contractor purchases ceramic tile to remodel a kitchen floor. Each tile cost $4 and the adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82. If the contractor pays a total of $545.82 how many ceramic tiles did the contractor purchase

132 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tile cost $4

The adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82.

If the contractor pays a total of $545.82

Let the number of tiles be represented as x

The equation is represented as:

$17.82 + $4 × x = $545.82

17.82 + 4x = 545.82

Collect like terms

4x = 545.82 - 17.82

4x = 528

Divide bother sides by 4

4x/4 = 528/4

x = 132

The number of ceramic tiles the contractor bought = 132 tiles

step-by-step explanation:

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
